Default Before blinds eat about 25% or ur stack or more.

Before blinds eat about 25% or more.. the hand right before the BB if my hand is above aveage.. J5o or above.. even in a full ring i will go all in to avoid having to then call in bb with an almost random hand since i will be getting correct odds too.

I belive this is correct even in a full ring.. as was in david sklansky's book about tournament play.. Am i correct on this? Pretty sure I am.. but would look some advice also since i lost the book a while back.

Another interesting ?? and someting i've been doing. If i'm two off from the bb in this situation will go all in if i get kq .. a7 or so .. figure to be much better than the next 2 hands i might get. So this seems to be correct also.

Anybody else agree/ disagree with solid evidence?



Thanks

Default Re: Before blinds eat about 25% or ur stack or more.

It is correct to push with any two cards in the situations you describe.

More importantly, you should have pushed with any two cards 30 hands ago.

For more information on this concept you should read the Harrington on Hold'em series of books where he goes in depth about the phenomenon that you are describing.

This post definitely does not belong in the high stakes forum. Please post similar questions in the regular MTT forum (after reading the stickies atop the page) in the future.

Welcome to the forums,
Steve
