Default Re: Auto Push?

There becomes a limit at how many hands you can push hands in certain spots. Hand one will never be a push, no matter how many BB you have left. As your stack goes down, people will call more and that offsets the value of stealing the blinds. Seven handed button pushes (when you are shorter then the table) max out at about 40% of your hands (which is about what you should shove here). JTo is the only Jxo hand that I would shove in this spot.

Hand 2: It will be a losing push, but again taking the blinds will cost you something so you have to pick the lesser of the 2 evils. It is easy to figure out how good the push is, but I have no idea how it stacks up to taking a blind. Wish someone else knew something about this effect.

Hand 3: Yeah not good. Wait for a top 40% hand in this spot.
