| Trapped between 2 big stacks, mid stage of to, 8min blinds. what to push? I was playing a freeroll with top 2 prizes (tickets), it was level 8, blinds were 200/400, I had about 4000 in chips. I'm sitting between two big stacks, one about 3 seats before me (about 56k), and one about 2 seats after me (25-30kish? who is very loose and plays every hand pf but usually folds on flop), and the rest were all kinda short or waiting to bust. What kind of range should I be pushing? Esp. if the big stack before me limps in, and I think he would call? Actually with 8min blinds maybe i can push alot of things? or what not to push? Thanks! |

| I might even take Dale's suggestion and make it a little looser with: Ax K7+ Q9+ J9+ 65s+ and any PP. Although I just realized that you never said anything about how many people were still at the table, or even how many were still left period, it looks like there could be a min of 6 people at your table, so you will essentially be out in 25 hands if you just fold everything with the blinds going up(40 hands if you played it all at 200-400). So you need to pick up some blinds or double up. If the one big stack is calling everything p/f but folding post-flop, then just call one of these hands then push on the flop, regardless, but especially if it is a scary board. |

| With such a few number of chips your might not have the time to be choosey. I don't see much of a difference with your table position. With any luck you might get a quick triple up. Any ace I'm in and if one was ever lucky enough to eek out a pocket pair....yum yum! |

| if possible i'd wait till i was on the big blinds and play when mr. play almost any hand and folds most flops is playing. then shove the flop with any two cards. other than that i would be looking to see who the player most likely to fold to your shove and try to shove when there the BB. you are looking for the people who will fold nad not the ones that will look you up with any two. |

Like I said, I'm not trying to be a dick, but it seems like so many members with <50 posts spell every other word wrong and I don't understand why |
