One of the smallest stacks and a pair - need to play it.

Go all in aint a bad thing to do.

There's still time in this tourney, your M is 7. You don't need to push yet. I agree it's not a bad play, but I hate pushing and getting a big stack call w/ 99, then I feel like I started getting "desperate" too early.

If you feel like you could limp and get to play this cheap, you could try that. This depends on how the table is playing.

You could also make a standard raise and see what happens. You may take the pot right here, or get a call and play for set value, or you can push after a repop depending on opponent reads.

Harringtonesque advice really sucks...

read dependent. In this spot I wait for 99+. If I did not have the giant stack in front, I'd shove 44+ KJs+ KQo+

Ok. I might hose this one, but if you run an ICM on this situation you will see a decent edge. I don't like raising since this will be about 30% of your stack thus your are virtually pot committed, if pot committed just get it in at the beginning. I definitely don't fold this.

Having a little more info or reads on previous plays could be helpful here.

I don't see the big stack calling with any but a monster and if you do a 3x raise he can easily shove all-in now pushing you off the hand. At this point the big stack should be abusing all players by shoving with a wide range since any caller risks bubbling.

Without really knowing the other players, just push and live with a loss if it happens.

Push, get called by jq, focus on the other 8 tables also at the bubble.

waiting for 9,9+ is sort of unrealistic and quite wrong.

[HajiShirazu]

You can use ICM software to find out for sure, but my guess is that 66 is right around the minimum to push in this spot.
Don't limp/raise small.

easy push
