This is pretty much the exact type of situation that I have been struggling with since moving up to Stars 22s (medium sized blinds, stack sizes ~15 BB). I would have almost always raised to 300 here, but now I've started to think pushing might be better, especially if the blinds are tight. If you get reraised, you probably have to fold, and if you miss the flop, you could be left with a tough decision, especially if the caller bets into you. I'd be interested to see what other players think.

I'm shoving here especially w/ tight blinds.

I think this is just a raise for me. We have a healthy stack and if we shove and get called, we're probably behind. Without more than "tight" as a read, I'm not comfortable getting my whole stack out there. 300-400 looks good.

Im interseted in knowing what you do if the blinds are loose, do you still shove or fold?

If the blinds are tight I agree w/ both 3x or just pushing, depends if your tilting lol

I struggle with this situation a lot too. We certainly don't want to be restealed by a hand like A8 that otherwise might have folded. But with very tight blinds, we pick up the blinds a lot of the time here and may fold to a push (although the odds are close i guess).

Re: ($24) KQo in BTN with 13bb
 

I fold.

Not to much wrong with push here either

If blind was higher i would probably shove.

I dont like raising hands like KQ on SNGs.

Re: ($24) KQo in BTN with 13bb
 

It is a +EV shove vs tight blinds, starting it now might lead to looser calls later though .. I would probably mix raises and shoves around 75/25

Re: ($24) KQo in BTN with 13bb
 

I shove here almost always.
