  1. A frequent situation. Is there anything wrong with the shove here? We were about 60 away from money and my stack was dwindling. No real info on the player in the big blind, just hoping to pick up blinds and antes. Just one of those situations that makes you feel like it is impossible to get lucky.

  2. Nothing wrong with the shove here, you ran into Kings in the BB it happens. As for being 60 from the money, that is still a long ways to go and you would have needed to shove before then. This is appeared to be an optimal situation to double and or steal the blinds and antes it just didn't work out.
