It's fine - completely unexploitable. Sometimes I do the same, even though it's a 14bb push. There are rare occasions when pushing with 10-15bb is probably better than raising, and I think this can be one of those occasions.

In theory, I don't mind it. No better hand is folding, but worse hands are calling, and blinds are nice.
The huge flaw, however, is that monkey-pushing is horrible for your "I'm really tight and have AA" bubble image. |

Remember that this is a $10+1, so there's actually a good chance for me to get called by hands that I have slightly dominated. I don't think I'm *only* getting called by better hands. |

Re: This is an experiment. ($10+1)
i'd still limp in for set value at this point in the tourney, but i'm not against this move
i don't know that it's +ev tho...u are adding 11% to your stack if u steal them, so not near the 20% cutoff, but 99 is a good hand, but i still would rather limp here and play to catch a 9 |

Re: This is an experiment. ($10+1)
Whenever I see this I assume medium pair, not interested in playing post-flop with overcards lying around. This makes it very easy to play against. Probably still +EV with the blinds at 50...

Re: This is an experiment. ($10+1)
Running the math through came up with this being a slightly positive +EV play, assuming you are playing against equally skilled opposition, and they will call with hands as bad as 56s/any Ace/JTo/any pair. Assuming you're markedly better than your opposition, I would think it would have to be -EV to make this play, since your tournament equity would go down by making it.

I don't like it. If it is +EV, it's only a little, and as we all know sometimes it's better to pass up on slightly +EV situations so we can better take advantage of greater +EV situations down the road.
