I dont have SNGPT, so I have to rely on my own instincts.

#2 is a push. You need to get some chips being the shortstack with 6.5bb and KJ is good enough.

#1 is really read dependent. Iīd fold in case I donīt think SB/BB are tight.

Hand 1: I'd fold unless I had a strong read that Villain was very tight. If you purchase and play with this sort of situation in SNGPT, you'll see how it can become -$EV quickly as BB loosens up.

Hand 2: I'd fold. You don't have enough fold equity here and QTs probably won't hold up well against Villain's range when facing a very likely call.

Hand 3: Without looking at any numbers, I think pushing might be okay here, assuming Villain is raising with a much larger range with his stack. You're still almost always getting called though.

Hand 1 (9d3c). Probably. If I'd pushed into him a lot recently I'd think about it, but I'm not sure we have a choice. Too low to wait for a better opportunity.

Hand 2 (QhTh). Nasty spot. CO raised through the big stack into two shortstack blinds that are desperate enough to call very loose. I'm not sure we're short enough to push this. If big stack was making it very difficult to find any pushing opportunities, I might take this - but the big stack would have to be raising just about every hand for me to be persuaded that this is a good move.

Hand 3. Yes. He's the big stack, he should be doing this with any two. We're almost certainly a slight favourite and getting way too short to get choosy.

Villan has been playing reasonably tight. I would give him a calling range of: 22+, A9s, ATo, KQ. I think I found one of the rare hands that I am not pushing here.

It is a definite push with that range. It becomes a fold when he calls with around 30%.

Default Re: ($22 Stars) 2 hands; Are these pushes?

only way im pushing hand 1 is if hero and sb switch positions. if im gonna steal with a small stack and a weakish hand id rather do it from sb.

hand 2 you cant gamble that your gonna get a better hand in the blinds, and bigstack is calling any 2. I like KJ vs random hand.
