BB was playing very solid. Figured this would be good place to steal.

They are all pushes I'd make.

First off you need to stop sitting one place to the right of the big stack.
Apart from that I think they are all pushes with the possible exception of 77 which I would call and push any flop without a 7

1,2 and 3 are completely brainless pushes. Not pushing would be completely absurd in any of those hands. Hand 5 I push as well. Hand 4 I would probably call preflop and push on the flop (stop+go).

I'd do the same in all. But me <------- losing player.

The first hand makes me queezy thoug given how short SB is and how deep BB is. Any comments on that one?

Off topic, but why does your stack end in 3 in all of these? Is this some kind of superstition?

Im sure they are all from the same tournament and he won a pot early that made his final number 3.

Yeah, I overlooked the obvious same tournament answer.

you're probably not pushing enough if you have to consider whether to push these hands

Agreed, most of them are just too obvious

As has been said, the first 3 are incredibly easy pushes.

4 I push as well. I think he is likely enough to be happy keeping 900 chips that I like pushing better than stop-n-go.

I push 5 too.

#3 especially. With 5 BBs on the button, 88 is something to pray for.

This is actually all born from my efforts to start pushing more. I am glad a few have chimed in saying most of these are brainless, because I really didn't have to think while shoving.

However, this is how I get into bad habits, I'm afraid. (Getting stuck in patterns that I think are correct, but might be totally wrong.)

The last two were the ones that I thought were the most marginal, but I wanted to post the others just in case.

Thanks for the check-up....
