Default Late Game, Low Limit pushes

My method for playing 5+1s is that i play pretty tight until the blinds reach Level 3 or 4, and then i open up more.
I raise any ace, king face, and try to push mid pocket pairs. I usually am somewhat short stacked.

Can anyone give me some good advice to maybe help me play better?

Thanks.

At what point (BB level) would you start pushing aces or small pockets

Do a search for Aleo Magus' guide to beating Party's $10 SNGs. That will cover most of your questions. Generally, when your stack is around 10 BBs or less, you want to consider going into push/fold mode, meaning if you are going to play the hand, push from the get go (I won't go into why, there are plenty of threads that discuss it).

The hands you choose to push are important, as is the number of players at the table. For example, with 10 BBs, I wouldn't push ATo from the first three positions if we are 7 handed or more, but 6 handed I would push if 2 people folded. Also, I don't like to push (with less than 10 BB) if someone has limped, unless my hand is strong.
