I used to push Ace rag as a semi-shortstack in early position ...

With 6-8BB and Ace rag I used to push an unraised pot regardless of position. Now even with that short stack I'm looking for A8s or better to push UTG or UTG+1 and instead look for blind v. blind or late position opportunities. I don't have the calculations but experience has shown that picking up chips in late position is preferable to pushing a possibly dominated hand.

Are you still calling Q5o with 7BB to a button push? [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] Just kidding John - this is good advice anyway, and is provable by ICM to be correct.

Call me crazy...but I've seen good results pushing K x's... preferably good kings or suited kings...but even K4 o.... I'm usually in good shape against callers...on occassion I'm ahead of some donk calls. (QJish type hands)

I am having a love affair with Kx for pushing as shortie.
