In the money with huge stack - this seemed interesting
We don't talk about hands like these that often. I've obviously reached the point where the remaining chips don't have the same value for me as my opponents. What range of hands is this an obvious push?
Also, what non ICM factors should we be thinking about here? SOrry if this is really easy and boring. BTW, this is a $33. Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t500 (3 handed) converter BB (t820) Hero (t6760) SB (t420) Preflop: Hero is Button with 9[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 8[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]. </font>.

You absolutely push everything. Both opponents, trying not to finish in the dreaded 3rd place will typically fold.

Re: In the money with huge stack - this seemed interesting
Yeah you have to push here with the huge chip lead. No matter what calling strategy they choose, you HAVE to make money here. Even if they colluded, they could not prevent you from making money on this push. The worst case is when the SB calls with all hands better then yours and the BB calls anytime the SB doesn't. If you all had equal sized stacks you would have to be very careful in this spot, but not here. This is almost a push any two.

Re: In the money with huge stack - this seemed interesting
I disagree that you play everything here. I see very little fold equity, so why take a worse than average hand against two random hands? Even if the BB busts the SB, you still have him outchipped more than 5-1. Granted, I would be pretty liberal with my pushes but I think I would want at least a J8 or better, or any Q and up.

If you think you have little fold equity, then you are way off. WAY OFF.
