Default Re: push or fold under 10 bb\'s rule

I understand all the math, but there's absolutely no way I'm moving to push or fold mode with 1000 chips and 50/100 blinds. Believe it or not, I still think I have some space to maneuver at this stage, and I can make a lot of things happen for me that I couldnt if I went to a preflop game. At this stage, I'm still calling 2xBB raises with suited connectors and pairs. 7-8x BB is when I start pushing here. From what I've seen in the many many many SNGs that I've played is that the players who start pushing too hard with 1000 chips and 50/100 blinds tend to, for one, get less respect for their raises, and secondly, leave themselves completely vulnerable to being called by dominating hands as the whole table eagerly awaits them to push while holding a probable winner. I wouldnt go push or fold with 10xBB until the blinds got to 100/200 and there are 6 players or less. All the math in the world isn't going to change my mind on this one.
