Villain was decent player, had min raised earlier, I called and folded to his min bet on flop... With this shorty I thought if I pushed villain would fold, but the more I think about it... why should I risk this hand... however having villain covered gave me a false sense of security...

Hand 1: You have 27x the bb here, there is no reason to push. Limp.

Hand 2: Again 13xbb, no reason to push here. I might raise to 300, but fold against any aggression. More likely, i just fold.

Hand 3: Looks ok.

Hand 4: Somewhat read dependent, I probably push this.

Hand 5: I call here.

#1 you still have lots of chips, no need to push this hand IMO.

2: I dont know, youve got 13x BB, No need to get overly pushy here IMO.

3: Very easy push

4: Looks fine

5: This ones close. Because there is the guy with only 300, winning this hand would catapult you into first place HU. Remember that shorty will be all in in 2 hands, so passing on this hand may be best. I'm really not sure.

That's why I'm thinking a call here may be best. This could be a good opportunity to win a big pot, but it needs to be played cautiously.

1) Pushing for 27BB is generally atrocious. What are you trying to accomplish here?

2) Pushing for 13BB is genera...read above.

3) You didn't mess this one up. Good job.

4) 4-handed with a monster and 8BB, yes I push.

5) It's a fine push if you think he will fold all but AA/KK. It's really opponent dependent though, and I highly doubt many players at the 11s will do so.

#1 I agree was a disaster.
#2 ...not sure
#5 what do you mean [ QUOTE ]

[/ QUOTE ] Do what? Fold to my push? If that is what you mean, then I should probably call and evaluate flop, right?

[unfrgvn]

Hand 5, I'm not sure his call wasn't worse than your push. Unless you had been extremly aggro stealing his blind, he has to think you have some over cards. I suppose he felt that you might push any two in that spot. Calling and seeing the flop is not horrible, but I don't think pushing against a small blind min raise with A Q when you have the small blind covered is that bad. He will have to fold many hands.

[/ QUOTE ]

I agree that pushing A8 with 13 BB is probably not good, but with a hand like AJ+ or 88+, I think a push is fine. I think we all get caught up too much with the 10 BB rule. In reality if we make a "normal" raise with AQ and someone comes over the top to put us all in, are you really going to fold your remaining 10 BB? I'm not unless there are 4 players left and one of the is close to busting out.

Having said that, 13 BB is pretty much my cap as to when I will push all in vs making a normal raise.

[wildzer0]

I use the 10bb rule a little differently. My general rule is that if my raise would leave with me less 10bb or less, I just push. So 13 is usually about the cap for that. But that also means I tighten up a little more in situations like the original poster is in, because A8o is definitely not a hand I want to push with 13 bbs. I've been playing with pushing standards for 10-13 bbs lately though because I seem to get in a position where I get myself blinded down to less than 10bb and I start pushing again. It's a tricky stack size to play in an SNG I think.

[kyro]

With 13BB, I'm pushing with TT/JJ/AK and MAYBE AQ depending on position and whatnot. That's why I said "generally"
