Default Should I chillax a bit more in the SB?

Seat 5 is the button
Total number of players : 4
Seat 5: Coxxy555 (1255)
Seat 7: HERO (1380)
Seat 9: lsg9046 (3635)
Seat 10: zacharyl2020 (1730)
HERO posts small blind (75)
lsg9046 posts big blind (150)
** Dealing down cards **
Dealt to HERO [ 6d, Qs ]
zacharyl2020 folds.
Coxxy555 folds.
HERO raises (1305) to 1380
HERO is all-In.

Am I getting too ballsy in the SB? Pushing the SB with any two in a lot of spots has been a great addition to my game for the most part but I'm wondering if I'm taking a bit too far in some cases.

SNGPT says it's good on Average calling requirements, but marginal on Loose calling requirements. Let's say that we have no read at all on the BB, except he's not extremely tight or extremely loose.

I dont think the blinds are big enough to make this really worth it. Also Q6o is garbage. maybe if they were at 200/400. But if BB was a tight player and i had a read, i would make the same move.
There is a stack below you, so folding and waiting for a better spot instead of busting isnt bad at all [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Fold. On the bubble, there's another short stack, and BB is a big stack and probably has loose requirements.

I do this everytime with these stacks. Q6 is NOT garbage in this position. With 9xBB, you don't have too much time, AND there is one huge stack and two stacks that are the same size as you.

Lemme know if this is a leak. I'm pushing with most of any two unless my hand is like 5-high.

I'd push here. Q6o isn't any two, and it certainly isn't garbage heads up. I don't see any reason not to trust ICM here. Is there?

This is a fold and it is not even close for me. You are equal with the other shorty and you have 8BB... not in bad shape at all. Pushing into the big stack makes this worse. I hope you are more confindent in your abilities that you do not need to take miniscule edges like this in order to succeed.
