This was kind of weird game in that I think there were 7 or 8 left on lvl 7 and 6 left here on lvl 8. So it's just kamikaze poker at this point. Should I just fold KJo here w/4 left to act? I can't see calling or minraising or anything other than pushing.

Thanks. That's kind of what I thought. Just out of curiosity, is there anyone who would advocate anything other than pushing here?

With blinds that high, you're a one trick pony.

If you somehow knew that in all of the next 4 orbits, you'd get a walk in the BB, you could...naw, nevermind, still push...

Thanks. I wonder if this is the future of high-level SNGs, if everyone starts playing the standard 2+2/ Tic-Tac-Toe style. Nothing but "surviving" the early levels, then a 6-way crapshoot at level 7+. Hmmmm.
