    Your choices are really shove or fold, here. You can't just call because that's already 75% of your stack, and at that point you might as well shove. Besides, a call would mean you have to shove or call a shove on the flop, so the villain is going to be all-in by the flop no matter what. Also, there's going to be flops that you don't want to shove/have to shove (like three picture cards), so it's better to get it all in pre-flop since there's not much post-flop play in this situation.

    I think the fold was good. Without having any reads on the villain, you can find a better spot than with 7s. There are also people at your table who are shorter than you and who ought to be taking more chances than you. They're waiting for someone else to make a mistake, and you don't need to be that someone else here.

    This is basically the same in this spot calling with 1k behind or shoving.
    But yes maybe better to write shove or fold.

    Probably close to payouts in a 180man sng, but I am not the player that cares about ITM, always try to go for the won where possible.

    dont commit ICM suicide under the façade of "I play for the win, yo". With >30 left this is a lot closer to a call then with <25 left, and not caring about the difference is burning you money.

    I know you are right. But going for mincashes and completely adjust to that isn't my style at all.

    I can run you through a few 'calling allin' scenarios if you want? (or if you haven't used Pokerstove much before). Hit me up on Skype... then maybe you can post a few on here? (just an offer if you want he)

    Or I could post it on here if ya want?

    I think is fold in this case because there are a lot of villains to talk after you..

    It depends the phase because the range of the player could not be the same in pre-bubble so it´s very importante to know, to make a good decision...

    Fold is the best option
