Don't have SNGPT on this computer but I'm pretty sure it's a push, especially considering the fact that you will be on the BB next.

I might be a nit but I think I fold this one.

I think part of this depends on the read of the table (and how many pots you have been involved in recently). If everyone has been playing fairly tight (and I haven't played any hands recently), I'd go ahead and push this. Otherwise I'd fold.

One thing that sways me more toward a push in this situation is that the second largest stack is in the big blind. He is in a comfortable spot, although if he calls my push and loses, he will suddenly be the short stack. As such, I'd give him a slightly tighter calling range.

With no reads on the table, I'd fold.

I think this should be a routine fold. I'm SNGPTing it right now.

EDIT: SNGPT says if everyone's calling on setting 3 that it's -0.2%. With everyone on setting 2 it's -0.3%. It actually helps if everyone's calling looser, w/ junk aces or smaller pairs. But even with everyone on L4, it's only +0.1%.

I'd probably want 88+, AQ+ to push here.

I normally default to something like 88+ AJs+ at most tables. I think you would be hard pressed to find a table where 66 is good enough here with your stack.

I'm folding here. My thinking here is that there are 4 people fighting for 2 spots, all of whom have very similar stacks. I can find a much better edge in later position or with a better hand. Even after the blinds, you will have T1390. I like the other ranges for this push 88+ A10s
