It's not even to do with that splash, it's simply an unexploitable push. The kind of hands we live for in SNG's.

In my mind this is a push or fold play but there are so many people left to act behind me.

Why can't you limp? I'm not saying I would, but a limp may make the hand easier to navigate. You could possibly get a push from someone behind you trying to steal the blimds+your limp with a marginal hand that you can pick off. Or if perhaps there is another limp you can get a peak of the flop before committing your stack.

And yea, what tigerite said. Limping is very very bad with these stacks/blinds. Possibly the worst out of all your options.

True. I didn't read all that other stuff before I posted. I see nothing wrong with what you said.

No problem.. it might surprise you to learn that 88 is borderline here and 77 is a fold, though..

Good to know also.

I will push AK here and AQ most of the time also, AJ and worse, I will fold, is that decent?

Seems ok to me. I fold AQ in spots like this most of the time. If I think both players to the left of me are exploitable I'd rather fold than to push AQ into loads of people.

AQo is a blatant push (and so, therefore, AKo obviously is too and their suited equivalents). AJo comes back with the same figures as 88 - it's very borderline. Basically you hope they all are tight up to the blinds and then it doesn't matter. You should, however, push AJs.

That's a leak I'm afraid.. again AQo push here = doesn't matter if they call with 22+,A2+,K7o+,K2s+,QTo+,Q9s+,JTs (I didn't go any further than that)

I think I agree with tigerite and splashpot on basically every hand ever posted.
