Sorry I don't have the hand history - I requested it from Pokerstars but only got the tournament summary and not the hand histories but it was my last hand and I remember it quite well as it's been bothering me since.

Situation - 27 player SnG and we just got into the money and I'm short-stacked and UTG with the Chip Leader in the Big Blind.
Stacks:
Small Blind = 8,200
Big Blind = 13,400
UTG (me) = 4,200
MP = 8,800
LP = 5,900

Sm Blind = 300
Big Blind = 600
Antes = 25
So the pf pots are 1125 giving me 3.7M and I'm in the BB next hand. Table had been passive but now that we're all inside the bubble I'm not sure how aggressive it mght become but I don't figure to wait to find out.

I get . I have first vigourish and go all-in. MP, LP and SB all fold but BB calls with . I don't pair up and his hold up.

My question - was enough for an all-in? Should I have just limped or folded? Would it make a difference if it were suited? I figure I made a move I had to but am looking for outside prospective and maybe alternate thinking. I think my biggest problem was I only had 3.7M and I was going to be in the BB next hand and didn't like the prospects of having to pay the blind and maybe having a much weaker hand but BB would only be 17% of my stack and if I folded that, the Sm Blind would have been only 7.6% if I folded it. Should I have waited for a better hand?

Yeah... you still got 7 blinds... K9 is not the spot you want to be picking... bite the bullet and take the 1.5 blind hit and get another ten hands.....

i dont like the push. i would fold here. limping is out of the question.

you are in fine position and can wait a few more hands. id rather open push any 2 on the sb/button than k9 from utg

I say 70% of the time you pick up 1000
when you get called you are about a 2:1 dog.

so, 10% you gain 4300
20% you lose 4200

700+430-840=290, so you gain about 290 doing this. Looks good to me.

This is given they will call with AT+ ,KQ, and 55+. If you think they will call with KJ and QJ and KT is and worse Aces it will change things more, because as you can see your profit comes from fold equity.

i dont think you would pick up blinds more than 50% of time but i dont wanna argue over splitting hairs. I dont think its a terrible or great play really, although in my experience pushing King middle kicker usaully isn't very succesful. I like to push something like JTs that has outs to more premium hands and isnt as screwed when called by holdings like AK AA KK KQ KJ or any ace

Math is right Beav, but my gut call would be to fold...but it IS mighty tasty...
