A7 in the SB, late in a tourney.

BB is looking for a spot to get his money all-in and double up, BB is not interested in protecting the blind that opportunity has all but passed, BB will either push or fold and his cards not the play will determine that, so a raise 12000-18000 should give you your answer and if it’s a push you can preserve some chips and fold.

this is horrible advice.

for once, me and Pavel actually agree on something. Probably a first and last

Well if you guys care about results, I shoved and hje showed 88 and i lost. It put me at an awkward stack size and I lost shortly thereafter for a decent cash.

I'm not so sure I like the line anymore. bla. i'm confused.

didnt really care for the results much, because time in and time out it is the correct play

This particualr spot result oriented is not what we wanted but however was correct play deep in a MMT to stack size of BB. I think Komp, 9ten, and myself could back pushing here is the correct move if that matters at all.

Here is a very interesting thread about letting the short walk or just push with any 2 cards on 2+2 http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/showt ... p?t=215125

Am just reading FT Poker strategy guide (tournament addition)
In it Andy Bloch going into great detail about what ranges to play in push/fold mode BVB.
According to Andy, when stacks are 10BB or shorter the SB should push : Any pair, any A, Any K, Any suited Q (unsuited down to Q6), any suited J down to J3 etc...
Calling range from the BB is almost as wide (exactly half the hands)
In tournaments you simply have to get lucky and take the odds when they are offered.
