Any thoughts? I know the result wasnt what I was after, but this is an easy push, right?

I think this is a pretty standard push, at least without a read on MP.

this is the kinda push that needs reads.

In all likelihood I lay this down. You still have time, no urgency to push. AJ+ I push.

The push is positive EV. But your in that 8-10 BB window where you wonder if you really need it. At a tough table where your not getting alot of opportunities to raise you need this one. At a crazy table where everbody is calling you can pass it up.

I would say the push after a bigger stack (or probably any stack for that matter) has limped has got to be one of the biggest SnG leaks. It was one of my major leaks that I am currently plugging up. Fold here and watch your ROI go up.

I don't like it. You're not great in chips, but you don't have your back against the wall. There's a pretty good chance you're behind MP, since you're very behind almost any other ace, most pocket pairs, and only slightly ahead of KQ...all hands that a $11 loose player might look you up with. I'd only push A4 if I was first into the pot and sincerely hope they all fold.

i'd fold this - i USUALLY won't push Ax 5 handed with the big stack limping in ahead of me, unless i'm really down to the felt or i know the table is exceptionally tight. A7+ is what I'm looking for here to push.
