    No I dont like this push you only have King High most hands that call you, you are beat.

    Though I do this move from time to time with limpers but usually with a10 or kq.

    Fold, you have 8.5x BB and are not that desperate. At low buyins limpers very often have A-rag and whilst they might fold, it's not worth taking the risk that they think an A in their hand is DA NUTS and call, making you a 40/60 underdog.

    In addition, you have 4 active players to go through as well as the limper, any of whom might wake up with a real hand and cold call.

    Not a good push as already stated. if there hadn't been the call before you, it still wouldn't be a good push.

    This is a push if you have half of the stack that you have.

    For this to be correct move he needs AJ, 88?

    Thanks guys.

    Question: With the same stacks all round, which positions, if any, would you push from with KJ? If i had this in the SB i would definately push and would consider it from the button too. Is this a leak?

    never a leak to be aggressive, look for something with an ace though at least try.

    I'd push from the button or SB as well I think.

    And plenty of leaks are due to being over-aggressive in the wrong spots. Like for instance, this one.

    yea

    pushing with KJ, a5, a9 , 44 from SB BUTTON CUTOFF ETC and you not moneying could be very well a leak and is with most SNGS. Gotta fix it.

    Im having probelms overvalung this hands not below the 8xbb but when i have 20+bb and like to open it up when the situation tightens up because of increased blinds.
