    Certainly a better position would be wonderful but the blinds are on you next hand.

    When do they go up again? If 3 or 4 minutes or longer, I lay this down and wait for a better spot.

    That's an insta-shove to me.

    But I haven't cashed in a proper sng (ie. not a pfo tourney ) for about 14 years so what do I know...
    For Free Money, Rakeback and some 6x Ongame bonuses, I recommend PokerSource.

    I recommend Cardrunners for superb poker coaching. It was honestly the single biggest improvement in my game signing up there! Sign-up fee might seem steep, but it pays itself back within weeks.

    Here's the problem...he's pushing into 2 large stacks and 2 stacks that also need to make a move soon. Wouldn't you much rather have 3 folds first before having to make your decision??

    When they do go up it will just be 100/200 with a 25 ante if I'm not mistaken.


    I want AJo+, ATs+ and 66+ to push here

    2 Large stacks yes but not that large, they would still be putting a significant chunk of there chips on the line and given that I was about to hit the blinds I figured I still have enough chips to make an all-in somewhat threatening. I feel this is another one of those borderline decisions which is why I posted it.

    this is a tough one...here you have a good hand ..with a dcent stack before the blinds, the blinds go through us we only have 1300 left i think thats plenty to make damage and push in position with a better hand

    I don't like it. We're almost always getting called going through the Button and blinds stacks. We're better off folding, watching those idiots take flops with each other and exploit positional BvB and Button shoves.

    I agree with 'the alex' you have enough chips to last till you get better cards.
    If I only had 600 or 800 chips then i would push
    its a 1 table sng so the money only pays out to the top 2 or 3 wait until you have a better hand or better position.

    I think I'm starting to figure out why I suck so bad at sngs. As soon as my M gets to about 5 I'm shoving from any position.
