Default Re: Short stack problems FTOPS $1K

I would shove all these, but I sometimes think I'm too aggressive in these situations.

I hate getting in situation 4 where I have to call off my stack when behind, so try to be use all the power of FE while I have the chance.

Situation 2 is the closest and I might pass depending on my image and table conditions (i.e. will I likely get a few +EV LP shoves in the next orbit). Someone said, they'd prefer Q8o to A4o. Has anyone done maths to back this up? Having an Ace surely counts for something in terms of less combos of AK,AQ,AJ,AA Plus you are ahead of some hands that might call loose. Plus you are no longer crushed by KK,QQ.

I can't find a calling range against which Q8o does better than A4o, and that's not even taking account of the Ace in your hand reducing the number of possible calling hands.
