e.g.

200/400 level

You are UTG with 88 and 2500, rest are:
1300
3100
1400
1700

Thanks. This is exactly what I'm talking about and I'm sure those that play higher SNGs experience this all the time, and often with 7 or 8 players left at Level 4.

And you don't ALWAYS raise all-in with less than 10XBB. In my experience, in SNGs where everyone is shortstacked, you can often raise 2-2.5XBB and because it's such a large percentage of player's stacks it has the same affect as a larger raise but gives you some room to fold if you choose to. You could also raise less when you have hands that you want action with.
