Default i push a lot.. too much?

final table of 33 on bodog so no converter sorry.

blinds 300/600 ante of 75

i am 8/9 stack with just over 9k.

folded to me in hijack with 99

stacks behind me are
CO 12k
Button 21k
SB 17k
BB 37k

no real reads.

i had just pushed my SB into the BB a few hands ago

am i being stupid? is this a clear push?
or are alternate lines better/okay?

basically i push this 80% the time and maybe standard raise if the blinds have like 15kish..

help

Looks fine to me, as the shorty and an M of 6. Doubt other lines are more +EV.

k by the lack of replies im assuming this is a pretty lame question.

oh well. sometimes i just feel like im a little too pushy and am giving up some value. (fwiw i probably do this with QQ-TT because of my pushing image)

Yeah I don't think this is too interesting and thus the lack of replies. You'll have to show some other pushing hands that are more borderline to generate some discussion me thinks [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

On the second hand I don't belive that you have any fold equity so I don't think a push is going to do much. I may just call and see a flop. On the first hand, I may just raise to 1500. If I get raised I can probably just throw it away.

First hand - this is an easy push with an M of about 6... Push this every day and twice on Sundays!

2nd hand - I don't like it as much. The short stack has something and he is almost always calling you because of his stack. Shortie almost never has AK here as he would push, but it is often a pair (although in donkaments you will sometimes find KQ, JT and other nonsense - especially if it is sooooted).

I'd probably call and play postflop... Check raise if an ace comes.

Ugh, horrible. If you do want to raise, it's to induce a push (which you'll have plenty of odds to call and probably be ahead of villain's range).

Hem yeah, not a big fan of that one. You see a lot fps minraises here, any reads on UTG? UTG+1? UTG+1 is obviously donking it up no matter what, just depends if he's a stationy donk or an FPS-type of donk [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

Anyway, I'd prefer a call and c-r any A/Q flop. Too lazy to stove it right now.
