Default Double Shoot-Out

Six players remaining on leg #1.
Blinds $75/150

Villian is pretty loose, rest are trying to to play a conserative style approach from what I can tell. I have T1,540
and villian has T2,200, villian raises from the CO to $450...I ponder and move all in...

villain shows K [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]Q [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]

I was 90% positve the blinds will fold, their stacks were T2,200 and T1,850 but are easily the most "pushable" at the table.

Anyone hate the all-in?

You're +cEV here, blinds are getting up there (M < 7), short handed table (effective M ~5) - pushing is fine.

There is no hand villain folds here. If you have the best hand then good push.

raise from CO, push over top with an M of less than 7, seems standard.

This is not a bad beat post and the OP is questioning his play given blinds, stacks, and position, and player images which, when added up, I think make this a close play. Was this an $11 DS? If so, you are probably ahead of a fair amount of hands given that the few times I played these the play was absolutely atrocious. Also, was this a turbo? If so I think your play is somewhat more warranted as you want to try and still a bit ahead of the blinds. Just remember that in a SnG the 10 BB rule is more like the 5-6BB rule as you still have FE at the table given the low number of chips in play. So right now you are not in a rush to get involved in a coinflip or such. And lastly, if the blinds do wake up with a hand which, at a low buy-in DS, could be or AJ+ you will be at best a coinflip but more than likely dominated. Given your read, position, blinds, etc.I do think this was a marginal play at best and would look for a spot to open the action rather than trying to make a move with a marginal hand in marginal position.

Kind of off-topic, but since when is KQ suited beating A-10o a bad beat? Is QQ losing to AK a bad beat?

I really like the push in this situation. The CO's range is quite large being first to open the pot, and I think you ahead when he calls about 40-50% of the time. So put that plus a little fold equity and it's a +cEV move.
