    I"m short stacked here at the final table of a Sattellite paying 6 seats and cash to the 7th spot.

    Unfortuantly the big stacks were helping out the other short stacks buy just giving them chips with little or nothing and doubling them up and my position was worsened.

    Normally in this situation I'll be patient or at least shove with a hand that works better together than the following if I don't have a big hand. Problem was the big stacks were getting in just about every hand before it got to me.

    I'm in the cut off position and get this hand with an M of about 3 and shoved. I can't complain about getting called by the BB w/ AQ but I wasn't thrilled with my shove.

    I could have been a bit more patient but obviously chose not to be.

    Could use some feed back on the pluses and minuses of this shove.

    It's not the best hand but you are running low and getting your chips in 1st from the cut off so it seems reasonable

    not a good spot mate... not a horrible one either.

    i would try and shove in later position cutoff isnt bad but i would def prefer dealer or sb with any 2 if you have enuff to significantly decrese the chances of one of the possible callers chances of getting a seat...

    i didnt have a very thorough look at the hh but my aim in these is to avoid being called or calling for the latter part of the tourney. Others, stupidly will take risks when they need not towards the end..

    Otherwise bl and gg

    I did hate my spot but I do wish I'd been a bit more patient

    With an M of 3 I would say any two cards are sufficent. This is probably not the greatest advice but sometimes when I am super short (and I do my best to avoid this in the firs place since you have no fold equity) but I will cover up my cards and just shove an unopened pot on a short handes table. This way I cant talk myself into a fold. When your stack gets so low deep in an mtt the Antes eat you up quickly.
