I'm about to put 12.5 percent of my stack in the big blind, how bad shape am I in here? Two hands ago I called all-in with 67s and more than tripled up from 45 chips, then pushed last hand with TT which won the blinds and was shown.

...goes back and figures out how he lost his stack in the first place, because that's probably a much bigger problem leakwise than this hand.

I fold.

I would have posted that if it was a leak, but it's not, and if you haven't lost all your chips in the first two levels ever then you haven't played enough SNGs.

Though I understand that playing from such a small stack early can't be a leak unless there's a bigger leak, because it should not come up very often. But I can still be curious /images/graemlins/smile.gif

Fold.

You got enough to last 5 rounds, but you need to double up before you get to the last 2. Once it gets below this, (a) you won't scare anyone off of calling your all-in, and (b) if you double up, you're still waaaaaaaaaaaaay short.

Wait for A8+, Axs, KJ, AT,KTs, QJs-65s, any PP, and all-in.

Additionally, if you're OTB or one before it and first in, all-in with anything.
