    The risk (going broke) isn't worth the reward (increasing stack by 10%.)
    I think I'm going to give up playing poker.........and take up repeatedly hitting myself in the nuts

    If you're in the CO or button, I push without thinking.

    Yeah, thought the blinds might be folding enough. The 2 to your immediate right aren't knowing that the blinds'll fold a lot- it puts less pressure on them.

    I don't mind raising to 3x, but you're better off folding and going through the blinds. At the next level, you'll get more respect when the pot's more worth pushing.

    I ended up folding, turns out if I had pushed I would have hit a 3 outer against QQ but thats a mute point as I ended up winning the SNG anyway.

    I've been working hard at these $5 sng's lately and they strike me as very beatable.

    Glad to hear! You work hard at your push/fold game and you'll master the turbo's and make a lot more in the same amount of time.

    I agree A9s is not a push here, there are 2 other players with the same stack as yours so there is no need to get desperate yet
