    Default Very Basic Shove/No Shove Question

    I have not played many SnGs lately and I'm almost embarassed to ask this but this is a shove, correct? (PS $100 + $9)

    PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t100 (8 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FlopTurnRiver)

    MP2 (t2930)
    CO (t1645)
    Button (t3050)
    SB (t940)
    BB (t1335)
    UTG (t1740)
    Hero (t735)
    MP1 (t1125)

    Preflop: Hero is UTG+1 with 8, A.
    1 fold, Hero raises to t735

    shove.

    most ranges that opponents have will put you positive.

    eh one of those plays that isnt great but isnt bad, u could make a reasoning for waiting for the bb to pass.
    30%


    Still looking for my royal flush.

    The push itself is marginal, but since you are about to take the blinds and lose a significant portion of your equity, I feel the push is fine.

    I FOLD...as long as the blinds arent going up in the next minute or 2. Even if they are...they are going to 75/150 and after the blinds hit you still have FE.

    This is a very very marginal push IMO.

    Push it. Blinds are coming up, and the next time you have a hand this good, you may have no fold equity at all. You just don't have the luxury of waiting for a better hand here.

    u think the average calling range of everyone after him is like top 5-7% of hands?

    if so then ur probably right.

    fold, too many to act with marginally good hand even w/7.5bb.
    pulling a courtiebee pŏŏl-ĭng ā kôrt-ē-bē (verb phrase):
    1. overvaluing mid pocket pairs
    2. knowing you should fold, but donkishly calling or raising anyway
