    So I played in my first major today. Bodog 100K

    747 players 63 pay.

    We are down to 76.

    I have about $9700 in chips. Small stack is $3500. Ave = 19K

    Blinds are 800/1600

    I am UTG with 66 I shove. Get called by BB with TT gg me.

    Question is..Did I have to make that move or was I impatient?

    From my experience I think it was a move needed to be made, but am always open to advice and critisism. Hence why Im asking.. ty all.

    Shoving 66 there is standard IMO.

    tip: i'd fold and get in the money 1st
    from 76 left you're really not trying to win the tourny from there.
    people tend to play much looser once you're ITM so I would've waited for a better spot
    and yes bad move

    In most cases I'd shove there, depending on the stacks on the table and the level of play I may make it around 3800 and shove any flop except for a set if I get cold called or not fold if I get moved all in pre. If you get a skiddish player if you make the smaller bet and an ace flops you may be able to get them off 77-JJ which may cold call you pre thinking you are very strong with the smallish bet pre. I'm shoving about 80 pct of the time though.

    u have less than 5 bbs i think its pretty standard that you shove your gonna have to get lucky if ur up against a better hand or in a coinflip i mean if your looking to get it in as a clear favorite u shouldnt have let ur stack get down to 9800

    You should be shoving almost any two cards there. I would have done so way before getting down that low. You do not want to fold to cash. I can only assume that poster is joking.

    ur a poker player u play to win is understatement, look at ur results.
    if u play "pro" ROI is very important, so folding ITM here is not bad at all, considering how much play loosens up when u get ITM.

    <<<< Not a Pro...but you've got a little over 5x the BB, getting down this low at this point, you're in Shove Mode. Range of hands I'd shove with 5x BB range from A-J to any pocket pair.

    Granted you are close to money, and if ur playing to cash...maybe fold and wait for a better spot....but like you said...you play to win. Shoving here is the play IMO.

    Celitic, Minimum raise knocks me down to $6600 (est) and then when he shoves with tens, I fold...know im big blind and small blind for 2400. Every stack on my table is calling my all in at that points. obv odds.

    Thank you for ur comments and I obv respect ur game.
