10 Left.

Villian has been raising to 12,000 very frequently on the FT bubble (with 10 and 11 left) and mostly has been getting folds.

I think this is a very easy shove given the description. Worst case you are like 2:1, but you will have SOO much FE here that it makes it an easy shove.

are all these easy shoves a level or something, like this is a fairly easy shove even if the villain hasn't been exceptionally aggressive

I was debating shove vs. stop and go type play.


I also felt shoving was way better. Just checking. I don't play many MTT's.


What's the lowest A everybody's shoving? Any A?

[Luxoris]

Any A. There isnt much difference between A7 (a very narrow coinflip favorite against a top 50% hand) and A2 ( a very narrow coinflip dog). If you put him top 33% you become a slight favorite at A8, everything below that is in the 45-48% range and not enough difference between A7 and A2 to differentiate.

Sorry..I was responding to the "any ace?" question.

just that there is very little difference between A7 and A2 equity wise , so if youre happy getting in there with A7 you should be just about as happy at A2.
