When are you forced to move in.

#1 13th October 2008, 4:20 PM

In a 1-table SnG and an MTT when are you forced to move in. Meaning how low in chips do you got to be before you are forced to move in instead of folding til you find the high cards or PP you want to move in with. Below 400 chips? less? more?

When you get below 10 big blinds is when you should be looking to get your chips in

Unless its towards the end of a satellite tourny then just hold out as long as possible

yes, i think when you have less than 10 BBs you should to play like all in or fold.
if you have 400 chips but the blinds are yet 10/20, you have chances to wait for a hand.. but 400 chips at the 10/20 level is the same than 4000 chips at the 100/200 level. so i think it doesnt matter the numbers of chips you have but how many blinds you have.

I have to agree, when you get down to 10x BB its crunch time..Peace

Very good point.

I personally try not to wait till I have 10BBs before I shove, if I can avoid it. My range is sometimes 10BBs-12BBs, sometimes I'll shove with more.

well for me it depends on 2 things, 1 how many BB's you have left, compared to the blinds itself, and the 2nd aspect is the blinds itself, (eg) lets say the avg is 1600 but you have 800 chips, but the blinds itself are only 15/30, I would'nt shove since your only gaining 45chips, but now lets say the blinds itself are 50/100 different story, hope that makes some since.

YO
All sorts of stuff to consider here, but basically I only like the all in once i'm under 8 bb's unless i have a monster, of coarse, then i'll shove at 10 bb's
but depending on my table image, how tight or loose the others are and my position will ultimately dictate how i react or leed out
.......thats if im on my A game and have patience..lol

Awesome.. Thanks for all the info as this will greatly help me ! all 6 of you agreed with eachother so i'm guessing its GOT to be the right answer =)

I think 10 BB's is a decent spot. When you start getting in the 6-7BB range, opponents' calling hand ranges will loosen up, and you won't have as much FE.

I agree to the 10 BB limit - it's easy to calculate, too.
But there are other aspects to consider. For example, you should be the first in the pot (or at least there should only be limpers before you). And you should have a decent hand, in case that you are called (but if you are down to 3 - 5 BB, any two cards will do, if you are the first in the pot).
