Default Re: Sunday Million Open Push; Standard or Retarded?

My understanding of Harrington's approach is that as your M dwindles to below 10, you need to make these kinds of shoves to keep from dipping down to 5 or so ...I make them because of HoH. Many of you are saying this is a terrible push...

I think most experienced tourney players agree that pushing with M of 9 is really bad when an average stack fairly small. HoH just gives a terrible advice in this issue. Pushing with M9 might be ok, if an average stack is something like M50 or M60.

Thank you! That's kind of what I was wondering. Results were I ran into QQ from the SB's big stack, who just called, and then the BB called off his 50K stack with ATo. I flopped a straight flush draw, (T93) and lost.

At the time, I thought the calling ranges were tighter than they obviously were (given the ATo overcall), so clearly that was bad judgement. Thanks for everyone's help.
