    Should I have laid down and went out with a wimper or is this a good push. I would have blinded off pretty quickly as they were going up to 1600/800. I had been card dead and only won 1 hand since the last break. I tried to steal blinds several times and each time someone pushed all in and I folded. I ended up 89th with 81 getting paid.

    unless i'm reading this wrong it looks like you have 2 big blinds .... in this situation definitely push, you probably want to find a place to push earlier before you get so low. the bad thing is that you are gonna get called 100% of the time b/c you're "raise" all in is so small.

    dont put yourself in a position where you only have less then 2 big blinds because u will get called every time...find a time with an m of 3 or 4 and push with suited connectors, pocket pair, big cards, or just in position because there is a good chance your opponents will all fold and if they do call and your hand holds instead of doubling up to only about 5k in chips you can double up to 10-15k in chips

    well it all depends...you can fold and stall to cash or you can take the risk of pushing here with most likely the best hand but most definitely going to get called by at least 1 person but then putting yourself back in contention for the tourney if you double up here and double up again.

    btw i push this unless were h4h
