    Default what to push with in party sngs

    I have no set requirements but what hands do you generally push with 6, 5 and 4 handed with what stack sizes? How small a stack do you need to push with any two? I'd just like to hear your requirements for what to push and when to push.

    bah this is very very very complicated.
    Being a push fold monkey is really hard =D.

    Last night there was another multitabler to my right, same guy same seat at all 3 of my 10+1s. When he was BB and I was SB, I pushed any two. 82o, K2 with a 9xBB stack becuase I knew he was folding.

    Things to think about
    Stack Size of guys your pushing into (smaller stack sizes are often times tighter, when they really shouldnt be and are therefore easier to make fold, especially on the bubble).
    Your stack size (Fold equity)
    How many people left to act after you (5 Handed im UTG with like 4-5xBB, I fold K2s when I probably should be pushing.)
    Table Image (not as important as the other ones)

    i was thinking about making a chart for this, but its a lot of math.

    Its easier to post a HH and have me say, HMMMM I would be pushing TT+, A7+, and KT+.

    Yes very very complicated indeed... My tips:

    -I only push with less than 8BB
    -MUCH rather have an ace in hand than a king.
    -I try not to push if someone else has raised, unless i have a pp higher than 88 or AK
    -Better to push into smaller stacks
    -I've never liked the "any two will do" approach, unless I have >3BB and I'm on button or SB with no raisers. PATIENCE and waiting your turn are key to becoming a "push or fold" master. (With Party's low chip structure, from the bubble onwards is pretty much a push or fold fest.)

    I rarely have time to play SNG's, but I sprained my ankle this weekend and didn't have shit else to do. I love to play them, and I do pretty well, I just never have the time. Played 12 $20+2's on party this weekend, 5 firsts, 2 seconds, and 2 thirds, ROI like 260% or something. Biggest lesson learned was PATIENCE will overcome all!! Don't go sticking your hand in the cookie jar, wait for some decent cards or an ace, then make a move.
    Lack of Discipline and Over-Confidence... The root of all poker evil.

    Yeah i know it is very complicated, and what i will push and when depends on reads and stack sizes, but i just wanted to hear what you guys generally push.

    22+, A2+ (if im desperate) A4/5 (if im not), 67s+

    Kx and Qx are harder for me to define.

    trying to live
    i will push most anything on the bubble. people are scared to bust, and as long as you have live cards you win enough of the time.
