Default A common Scenario behind two large stacks

Ive notice that lately that when ive been playing i have been trouble pushing becuae im situations like
SB 2500
BB 2500
UTG 1000
CO 1000
button 1000 ME

How do you change your pushing standards as the game gets progressively later starting from 50/100. I kno evenatually ill have to push into them but i dont like pushing ACE high into them theyll call me with a slight disadvantage or low pp.
This i mailing for a 10/1

i really feel that this depends on the current situation your in. if the game is very passive you don't need to pushing as early as you think you need to, i.e pushing Ax w/ 10BB would only get you a call from a hand that is better than yours.

if you find yourself in a pushing situatoin at some point i would generally push only to another small stack. in the situation you mention and the blinds were 75/150, i would be pushing here any two face, or PP above 55's. however, say UTG is the BB, id be pushign any playable hand b/c you've forced the BB into a hard call, where the gap concept plays a factor here.

so basically what im saying is that you can afford to be patient when you're on the small stack, generally when you've got 8x or less BB is when you're desperate. its in these situations you're typically trying to push on other small stacks with any two, and push on large stacks with decent holdings

anyway hope this makes sense here
