    Default If BB has 10xBB, and your opening in SB.......

    .................................................. ...........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.
    Jman: every time the action is to you, it's an opportunity for you to make the perfect play.

    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?
    3 3 3 I'm only half evil.

    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.
