  1. thoughts please on weather to shove this now, or wait for a later table position to shove a wider range at this super shallow stacked table.
    Thanks.

  2. I like a shove here. There's already 84k in the middle that you're picking up if you get folds, and you only have to beat 5 people. If you end up getting called by A9+ and lose, then sick cooler.
  3. Yeah, clear shove to me... I'm shoving most Ax here..
     
  4. I think u have to jam here, dont really like it but youll be too crippled if u let the blinds pass once more...
  5. You have 5 big blinds left. Easy shove!
     
  6. you have 5 bbs, its not a full table so there are only 5 people to act behind you this is plenty strong enoughm would suggest shoving much wider than this as all but one stack has the same stack size and will not be willing to call off as much.

    Roughly shoving Q10o+ 109s+ all pairs and all Ax maybe more
  7. EDIT: the thread title should have read 'shove spot', NOT shove/fold spot. However, I think im guilty of being results oriented , because I think this hand is in the top 3rd of everyone's shoving range, considering these stack sizes. Obviously I shoved and lost the hand and was left crippled. I think the reason for posting this is because I did indeed shove a waaaay wider range and re-stole a few times for uncontested pots in like the last hour of the tourney to keep myself in contention and not get 'too' low stacked, just to lose a race when I finally have to flip. I seriously dont know how you successful pokerstars grinders do it in the large fields, where actually winning a few flips semi-deep is important. Its like its my job lately, to bust out of tournaments between 8th and 18th ugggh. Ive got like 50+ cashes since I started playing on 888, in all low stakes, small field tournaments and have yet to close the deal on this thing, sorry.. just frustrating trying to (re)build a roll again.... My screen name should be, I_Race_Cards_BAD.. .END RANT/VENT...... I guess from here, Im gonna stop blaming variance and just racing bad and get some Pocketfives.com training.
    Thanks for reading, everyone.
