Re: $33 - blind v blind 2nd hand

I also feel like I don't get called enough with the push in this spot, and though I won't quote it too often, in HOH (or HOH2???) Harrington opines that 1/2 of your opponents remaining chips represents a psychological barrier. I think this would tend to apply in this situation, and it's a reason I like a value bet of <1/2 pot if you're not going to push.

That psychological barrier has got to be different for online SnG's. Your opponents don't have physical chips, just buttons on the screen with numbers on them. I took some time to study this exact type of situation: where I'm probably ahead and I think my opponent will call with a lot of lesser hands. It turned out I was underestimating the amount my opponents would call on the river by quite a bit. 150 is too little for a value bet. I'd rather push than bet 150, but 350 is even better.
