Check the equity modeling menu. SnGPT does take into account whether you will be in the blinds next hand.

Yeah, on the test versions. I'm still not utterly convinced by it though!

I'd probably push something like T8 here, thoughts on that?

Open pushing with that stack and those chip counts from that position is going to be correct most of the time, and Custer did a pretty good job explaining why.

I would expect most people to not like it, and many to think it's incorrect.

But I do this type of thing regularly, and it's not because I think it's wrong.

The problem is that it's very hard to use ICM/SNGPT to figure this out because it's always going to be close when the blinds are this high and you are about ready to pay the BB with the big stack acting before the others.

So, a little +EV? a little -EV? That's all you'll be able to crunch out. Given that, I want to get my chips in first in this situation and I don't really care what cards I have.

Interesting thoughts. Here's my question: what are you pushing with these stack sizes?

Button: 2950 Chips
SB: 1705 Chips
BB: 2075 Chips
Hero (MP): 1870 Chips
UTG: 1400 Chips

With blinds 150/300?

If UTG folds I'm open-pushing a pretty wide range. Whether or not I would push 10-high depends an awful lot on the dynamic of the game at that time. It's all about FE, so if I felt like I still had some, I would be willing to wait for the situation to evolve a bit more.
