Default KJs utg short stacked

Blinds 600/1200 antes 150

My stack is 10.2k 42 people left of 710ish

Is it a good idea to shove KJs 8 handed or wait for a better spot? Most hands that call me probably has me as a 3:5 dog.

This is a tough spot. I'd rather be shoving 89 from LP than KJ from UTG

Yeah, I agree here, maybe not that light, but there are definitely better spots. I think waiting and having you go through the blinds and then just pushing ATC on the button AND CO (so you profit the same as KJs push and everyone folds) would be a better option.

This is an absolutely standard shove. You have an M of 3.4. You would like to push from late position, but this is good enough. This would be a fold with no ante.

Pushbot chart says push in this spot at all but a tight table.. you have an M of 3.4 and it must be 3.2 or less to profitably push w/ 7 people to your left w/ KJs..
