Re: $10+1: 5-handed, short stack with ~7BBs, K8o
[ QUOTE ]
At the 10+1 tables players will not call without a decent ace or decent king or a PP. If you are going to rely on luck this heavily why not let yourself be blinded out, or push with a suited king or ace or a king that could at least yield a straight?

I'd like to push with a suited king or ace, but unfortunately I don't have one.
The hand range you describe for people calling at the 10s covers maybe 15% of all possible hands. So 85% of the time, they will fold. There's a couple people behind you, so it's probably more like 70% (don't have eastbay's tool handy). 70% of the time you win without a fight, and you might win 40% of the time if called.
It's not luck, it's math. You are the short stack, so you can't just wait for a perfect hand. Put your chips in while you still have them.
