HYPOTHETICAL SITUATION:

In a final table with four other people, you are the last (> 15bb)
How do you act? Applying resteal in early position and button or you just throw by value?

All-in with any pair higher than 77 and any AX higher than A9 and KQ (IMHO). All other hands I would fold.

For me it would depend on how many BB the others have. But at 15 BB you still have some time but I typically would jam or fold more than normal to pick up blinds. You really can't raise and not win the pot you will be crippled.

I agree ... there's nothing to add ...

Rather than shove/fold you can also raise the monsters.
1) you still have the option to escape
2) likely to pick up more chips

I'm mainly looking for a good opportunity to get all my chips in and hopefully double up, all pocket pairs, all suited broadways, most aces. You are the least likely to win, and some gamble is required.

all-in by myself only if I've strong hands AA AK AQ KK QQ before the flop. now if I've pair on hand I only pay to see flop
