    Default $16 - J9o, shortstacked on CO, shove?

    Shoving is quite +ev here and we only shove into 3 other people, but should we shove here or should we wait for a better hand, but shove into more people?
    I am too lazy to look for stats.

    If shoving is quite +ev here, why would you not shove it? I don't understand.

    Because a better hand might be more +ev.

    its pretty unlikely that you'll get a better spot than this.

    This is an easy shove imo . . J9 if we get called is unlikely to be vastly dominated and with 770 chips with blinds 200/400 I'm getting pretty desperate.

    In SNGs, you have to take whatever edge you can (except for very slim edges that you might be able to pass up if you believe your skill level is higher than the rest of the table). SNGs are games of slim edges (because they are short stacked games) so you can't ever pass up a +EV spot that is greater than your edge.
