.................................................. ...........please shove 72o. kthx!!
This is common knowledge to SNG players but I think alot of cash game players dont know alot about the push/fold game.
I can provide math if anyone questions this.

Me: A-7o in SB
BB: 10bb stack
Me: "i am going to fold -- i think it's probably close to neutral EV to shove here"
DG: "uhh... i think that was a mistake"
in case you were wondering

why would you want to risk your whole stack to win the BB, when a decent raise may do the same thing?

The bb only has 10xbb. If you are going to raise 3-4xBB the BB is pretty much committed to anything he plays anyway. And I guess if he calls with exactly 10% of his hands you are coming out slightly ahead since you already have the small blind committed.
This is pretty marginal and kind of pointless in ring isn't it? I guess if it makes the rest of the table loosen up their calling range against you it maybe worth it.
