Default ITM final three, but everyone is fairly equally short stacked

Typical 50/30/20 split in a turbo like fashion.

Villian1 is at seat 1 with 259720.
Hero is at seat 2 with 206940.
Villian2 is at seat 3 with 169340.
The button is at seat 1.

Villian1 posts ante (2000).
Hero posts ante (2000).
Villian2 posts ante (2000).
Villian2 posts the small blind of 10000.
Villian1 posts the big blind of 20000.

So there is 36,000 in the pot each hand. We have an M of 5.7, chip leader is 7.2, and short stack is 4.7. We are about half way through the level so blinds go up in another 2-3 minutes. What fraction of hands do you push with from the button in this situation?

Default Re: ITM final three, but everyone is fairly equally short stacked

Results: So this was really the final table of a MTT (of course, although a 50/30/20 payoff split in a SNG is similar to the 25/15/10.5 payout for top 3 in this MTT) and I posted in the MTT forum after I'd pushed with QJs and had the sb call with JJ and the bb call with AA. Of course the JJ caught J's full house and won the hand with me being knocked out in third.

I had figured that top 50% was around the right push amount in this situation, but thought that maybe I was being too weak-tight. The MTT poll centered on 33%, with a reasonable number at 25% and 50% so if anything I was too LAGGY.

I wondered if the STT people would be more agressive based on all our SNG practice, but based on the early results of this poll looks like they aren't.

Now if only I had curtain's reputation maybe more people would vote in the poll.

This whole talk of M i dont think can be accuratly applied to when there are less players. Right now you have about 10BB, so your next move shoudl be a push all in. The antes are pretty small, but do add a nice bonus for stealing a pot. I think you still should be waiting for decent hands. A7+ or KQs+ and all pokets.

I could be wrong so id like to hear others ideas.
