Re: Should you use a small stack to gamble?
[ QUOTE ]
Example:
Level 3, Button, 1 Limper
Your Stack: 200 Chips
Your Hand: 74s
Push?

my thinking is...why push there? I mean, maybe you will get a fold and win some chips, but if you get a call, you are screwed.
As you probably know, other players at the table know that a small stack akin to the one you are describing is in a somewhat desparate situation - and therefore, the quality of their hand is discounted by the players at the table.
I like to be patient w a small stack, wait for at least an ace or some kind of hand that is decent before pushing in the scenerio you described. Though pushing against the players you think will more likely fold is also a good decision.
