    I just got SNGEGT and am wondering what kind of +EV do I need to be correct in my shoving when down to 5,4, and 3 players? I find I get +0.1 EV in a lot of situations does it make it correct to shove just because it is positive?

    I usually like to have +0.4 or better to feel comfortable. I don't think you can go wrong if you stick with that.

    It's technically + to shove with any positive.

    The more skilled you are than your opponents the more +EV you would need to shove to make up for your ski difference. I wouldn't pass up too many positive opportunities at all, in general, but there are times when you should take a minimum edge of 0.4%. If you are really good, think 0.3%.

    For more, type this into google:

    "minimum edge" SNG <<<<

    You'll get a variety of answers that will help you.
