I'd push this with a lot bigger stack.

Yes, push.

I'm not pushing this if I think SB and BB are getting it all in this hand. Otherwise, this is fine.

[nyc999]

I don't think you have much of a choice. Otherwise, your pretty much rolling the dice with your next hand (BB).

[ace_in_the_hole]

Thanks for the replies. I am just at the point that even If I am pushing KK I expect to get called by a better hand. Just running bad.

I notice a lot of your posts are bubble pushes. Have you gone through your hand histories and tried to find spots that you could have taken advantage of, to avoid to falling to 2.5 BB in the first place?

[ace_in_the_hole]

Yeah, but not as much as I should, this was one of those SnG's where I was card dead and any marginal hand I picked up faced a raise or push, just had no spots to take advantage of. Is this normal or should I be finding spots early in every single SnG?

Of course not. But, I used to get blinded down playing too tight. I find myself stealing from the Button with marginal hands at 50/100 and not afriad to pull a PVS at 25/50. At 75/150 I'm pushing a pretty wide range of hands with <10BB from the Button - those chips add up quickly.

I don't really like this. You have no FE, 3rd stack is in the BB next hand, so you basically have 2 hands to get something better than QT or for the 3rd stack to bust out.

If you are playing 33s and do not have SNGPT then you are wrong.

[Shillx]

Yeah you have to push here. If you wait a hand and give the same calling ranges (namely Ax/Kx/PP for the people in the middle and all hands for the BB) you lose about 1.3% by waiting and then auto pushing the next hand. If you give the people Ax/PP for calling then it is a .9% mistake to wait.

If you had a garbage hand you would obviously wait here since you want to push when the short stack is in the BB, but QTo is just too good to fold in this spot.
