    Default $24 - A4o 4BB UTG, puuuuuuuuuush?

    SNG wiz says it's an easy fold and suggests to only push with 12%, but it does not take into account that we lose FE and get a sucky stack if we fold.
    What do you do here, why and what is your shoving range?

    Hero ??
    I am just another learning player, so read my comments (very) open minded.

    Tough spot. You are right that ICM does not take into account the fact that we are about to eat the blinds so I don't hate pushing here since pushing is not very -EV (I had it at like -0.3%, but the cost of eating the blinds is probably more than that).

    Honestly I would prefer to have a hand like 98s in this spot because that is rarely badly dominated by opps' likely calling ranges.

    I dont have wiz, but I've wondered about it with these utg hands. What if you adjusted the stacks to reflect what they will be one hand from now while keeping positions from this hand? If it's a push then, I'd figure it's a push here...
