(22) >10BB Uber tight table

[MaltbyStu]

I'm re-evaluating my 5 handed play and wondered how you guys play in this situation?

Most raises have resulted in folding around. I would typically fold this hand in this situation due to having >10BB but I am short stack and know that with <10BB this is an easy push.

Does anyone loosen up 5 handed in this exact situation and if so, with this hand, or does it require a better hand?

Is the golden rule, NEVER start pushing until <10BB or can is pushing valid in certain situations as described above?

This is a simple muck. With less than 10bb its still a simple muck, I don't know why you think its an easy push? I'll loosen up a bit at a tight table, but not soo muh to start raising with this hand.
And to answer your question about pushing with &gt;10bb, I frequently find myself doing it. I'll normally push any hand I want to play with 12-13bb. A lot of the time I push with 15bb with hands like AK/AQ/TT/99, its really situation dependent.

Hi Jay,

I ran the numbers for his range before posting and it's a simple push. He's so tight he only breaths in, trust me.

But I got your opinion on what matters. Thanks,

Stu

Sorry for above post, I thought you were in CO due to the layout of the stacks from the converter. Simple push then for me. I don't like open raising from the SB without a premium hand due to being OOP.
