i think i should have clarified this a bit....when this phenomenon begins to occur, the tables are fairly shorthanded....obviously at a full table...it's much harder...more bullets to dodge...

I say last 2-3 tables, and especially final table...based on relative blinds/stack ratios in online play...

i'd like to hear some others opinions on this.

Assuming we are talking about pushing, I still think even the last 2 to 3 tables that it's not a matter of early position being favorable (quite the opposite due to the fact that you have more players to act after you), but that it is aggression that is favorable (regardless of position). After pushing in once or twice from UTG, you have to realize that someone will either have a big hand one of those times or catch on and call you when they realize what you are doing. Aggression = high risk/high reward. EP aggression = dangerously high risk/high reward. Any one else's comments? I seem to be repeating myself here.

nice thought provoking post cantloseon22
