For a little while i thought i would push it too. But then i looked at how many chips you have to push thru! Fold it and eat 1 more BB before stealing.

1.5 BB, and now you really have no FE.

If there was one more short stack with us, I could fathom folding, but we're digging a hole here, and while I am a huge advocate of following the numbers, I ignored them and push.

First, let me say I haven't posted in forever. I use to be a limit player, converted to SNG's and lost consistently until committing myself over the past couple of months. Of course, if you look at my stats you will see a big hole dug from boredom in my limit days.

I have used the SNG software to push edges, but I actually got more from watching spacegravy and other excellent players from 2+2. I have repeated seen them play with substaintially less than 10BB and it wasn't until I was brave enough to sink to 4-5BB on a regular basis that my results got better.

With these stacks and not having a good feel for the opponents this is a fold with this position, but slide over to the button and a shove for sure. The SNG software is grand, but the idea of being called by possibly more than one player with KQ is not soothing. BTW, this hand is a great example of a hand to post.

If it came across bad this was not my intent. I have never watched Kryo in action so I dare not comment, but my gut says I could trust him in a game with my bankroll. My point was going below the 10BB line seems a little too definitive, or formulaic, for such a feel situation. This hand is great discussion and shows how important knowing the competition's tendencies can vary the play.

Your bankroll? Sure. It's trusting me with my own bankroll that seems to be my problem. [img]/images/graemlins/blush.gif[/img]
