($22): SB play, KTo with 12.5BBs
 

I was torn with what to do here, thoughts? Nothing real notible about BB, pretty standard player.

Meh, I push.

Really? Seems risky when my stack isn't in jeopardy yet.

Anyone else?

Re: ($22): SB play, KTo with 12.5BBs
 

looks like a standard push to me. tough luck if you get called by a dominating hand.

I would have made a bet of 250.

push any Ax/KT+/22+ here? is it too early to push with 12BB?

Complete does seem too weak/tight here though...
A raise and a CB commit yourself...
push push... need work on it....

Tigerite and 45Suited, at what size stack are you making a standard raise...or, are you ever limping here?

Re: ($22): SB play, KTo with 12.5BBs
 

Problem with raising is it lets him come back over the top, or call and have position on you on the flop, and so on and so forth, just gonna be a mess. Though I do sometimes raise here, I am pretty sure you could push and throw your cards face up here and there's no range he could call with to make it -$EV. That is not the case with 22, I wouldn't push 22 here, I would probably not with pairs lower than 55.

As for what size stack for just raising - something like 14BB. I might very, very rarely complete but it would require a read that he won't push over it or be awkward or something.

Re: ($22): SB play, KTo with 12.5BBs
 

I was correct. Even by ICM he can call any two here if you push and it doesn't matter.

Face up your $EV is +1.3%! That's massive. (PS it's +1.5% with 55 and there's still no range he can call with to make it -$EV)

Thanks Tigerite...I'll have to play around with SNGPT to see what pushes I've been missing out on in this spot.
