The way your talking it sounds like your trying to justify timid play

Well, you're certainly at least a little bit right here. I've definitely been too timid in the past when the stacks are 7BB or less.

Like I said, I've never had a problem pushing wide when the stacks are short, but calling wide is an adjustment that I'm still trying to make very late in the game, because I've *definitely* been calling too tight in the past, even wanting to wait for a strong queen (QT) or better.

But as I'm trying to make this adjustment, I find myself running into a fair number of people who will fold button after button after button, and when they finally do push, I can't help but think that I'm way behind their range with something like J6.

I'm only thinking this against opponents that obviously fold *way* too much on their button, though, so the evidence is there. (either that or they're just on a nasty coldstreak)
