Yup.

I like it. Less than 10BB. Against 2 limpers. A great time to steal your own blind and the rest of the money that's in the pot. I'd be very suprised if you didn't have the best hand here. So to recap...

1) You probably have the best hand.
2) You need to start playing aggressively at <10BB and being the 2nd lowest stack.

So, yes, good push.

Against the big stack, you may want to be wary. This may be a huge hand trying to induce a push (especially if there has been a lot of pushing going on). I'd still push by default, but there's room for a read, here.

I like the push here. I have used this move from the bb lately. I have stolen quite a few blinds, but also ran into a few monsters. I think it is a good move to use if your opponents are calling frequently. If your opponent has not done any limping lately, it might be a bad idea to push.

IMO, the answer doesn't get any better than this.

After villain flips over his bullets, take notes so he doesn't do it to you twice.

Screw that about the giant stack having a huge hand! He's probably is just some psycho idiot that won a few hands with garbage early in the tournament and calls every pot.

This is a very easy allin IMO.

If villian turns over a monster just yell NEXT and open up another SNG.
