Blinds stealing late stages of the tournament
 

You have M of about 4, 50-60 people left and 18 cash.You are at one of the last places.Everybody folds to you and you have XY on the button.

Pretty standart situation.
What is the X and Y have to be for you to shove?

"It depends"

Re: Blinds stealing late stages of the tournament
 

Anything except pure trash. My range may get a little tighter if the table is loose.

Re: Blinds stealing late stages of the tournament
 

Depends on the blind's stack sizes and general behaviour, not to forget my own table image. Oh yes, are there antes?

Re: Blinds stealing late stages of the tournament
 

obv it depends, but if the blinds are relatively weak and i don't appear to be a superdonk i don't mind shoving any suited 2-gapper or small pair. i, usually, won't shove with atc unless one of the two blinds is sitting out or it's close to the bubble and one is pretty short.

Any table reads? I usually tighten up if there r ppl behind with monster calling ranges.

Antes dont really matter his m will go up 1 or not, but i push dependng on stack sizes too.

Re: Blinds stealing late stages of the tournament
 

Well, i forgot few important things.Regarding table reads - you have just moved to another table an orbit ago, so no special reads.

Blinds got you covered, but your stack is from 30-40% of their stacks, so they can't call you superlight.

Re: Blinds stealing late stages of the tournament
 

I'd probably push from that position... i mean with an M of 4 i dont know what else u can do. push with any two cards that add up to 15

Re: Blinds stealing late stages of the tournament
 

just moved to table = any 2

Re: Blinds stealing late stages of the tournament
 

Ok, i pushed with 72o and got called with QQ by SB.
Was this basically a bad luck that i ran into a big hand or was my hand too weak for pushing?

(I don't play a lot of tournaments, so this question may seem stupid to some of the regs)

Re: Blinds stealing late stages of the tournament
 

I take a look at my pushbot charts - they say push anything but pure trash - so I do (when I don't have a read).
