$1 PS, shove good?
 

UTG and CO have vpip > 30, mp is 18, and others left to act are in the 20's.

Table has been extremely aggressive with lots of all ins preflop.

My shove felt good considering the multiple limpers, but SNGWiz told me it was bad. What would you guys do?

I had a rock image because of everyone else's wreckless play.

in a 1$ its probably not bad

Re: $1 PS, shove good?
 

i wouldn't say the shove is good at all, but i guess it isn't terrible either. I just don't see much of a reason to push here.
also, i've never had the plessure of playing a $1 sng.. but at $1 sngs your "image" is probably not taken into account much by anyone.

Re: $1 PS, shove good?
 

Why even play the hand - if the table is aggressive why not sit it out and wait for others to make bone blunders.

You have PLENTY of time, why gamble!

Re: $1 PS, shove good?
 

let me guess, one of the limpers called with like pocket 4s and beat you?

I think shoving here is asking for a $1 sng induced headdache.

Re: $1 PS, shove good?
 

No, I didn't get beat by pocket fours.

I figured I would get them all to fold since it was just a limp fest, but if you can believe it, the third limper had AKos.

I see now that I should have just folded or limped myself, since I was in good position to let others explode.

I learned!

Re: $1 PS, shove good?
 

Nice hand. It's a bit marginal but I'd rather shove than limp. Mostly they all fold. If someone calls with 44, you have a lot of dead money to make up the equity difference, although you'd still rather they didn't.

Re: $1 PS, shove good?
 

You need to be 53% against any villians limp/call range. As this is a $1 that range is wide enough and there is enough dead money in the pot to justify a shove here.
Just because CO showed up with AK does not make this spot horrible. I think I would shove this in general but it is close enough where a fold is no a bad option either.
