The Final Push...

So you've ended up being the shortstack with an M that is about to explode, the blinds are high and you're just waiting for that semi-attractive hand to smash all your chips in the middle for what may be the final push.

Given a theoretical choice of the following hands. Which would you prefer to try your luck with?

if my M is only about 7or8 i would push with
any ace
king 7 or better
queen 10 or better
any pair greater than 44

The cards I will push with change a little depending on position and how many folds in front of me. Of the choices I take 9-k no pair no Ace because of the possible straight on top of possible two pair etc. Ax always seems to bump against a bigger Ax for me so I will do it but don't like it.

I'd prefer a suited connector, or one-gapper. Rarely dominated.

you're missing a lot of variables

what exactly is our M and what are the other Ms? do we have a tight table, a loose table, or something in the middle? what position are we in? are we first in the pot?

impossible to answer without that knowledge

If my M were 5-7 I'd probably push with 66 or higher, AK AQ AJ or maybe A10. If my M were 3-5 I'd push with any pair, AK to A8, KQ QJ KJ. If my M were 3 or lower, any ace, any king, pretty much any hand as long as its folded to me. I'd probably fold hands like 3 2 4 2 or 7 2 tho, just because if I did get called I'd have very very very small winning chances.
