You are in the final 3 of a 9handed sng (3paid), short stacked 4-6bb and shoving any A or pocket pair? Personally I don't think so, no-one called my shoves and I got called a bingoist, to which I didn't respond. I went on to win the game and did hit some very lucky rivers HU shoving pockets.
I was very aggro and it seemed a bit donkish, but I won so...

Well, for a change of pace I'm playing Super Turbo STTs right now and you only start with 10bb, so I'm getting used to it. Generally by the time you get to the 4-6bb range like you are talking about, any hand you are going to play; you should just shove. If you're really interested there are shove/fold charts just about everywhere on the internetz.

Thanks, it was from reading this forum that I learnt a bit about ICM and when to shove so was pretty sure it was the correct play.

Countless hordes of people who would otherwise have gone on to become champion players have missed the chance because they quit in shame and disgrace after being accused of playing bingo poker. Try to be strong enough so you don't feel obliged to join them.

That short Im shoving just about any two. Just ignore them, the only reason they have a go is cos you're stealing their blinds.

I once had someone tell me he "played me like a fiddle" when he caught a runner runner flush on the river to crack my set. All chips went in by the flop. Think he was trying to put me on tilt or something. Anyway I wouldn't worry about this. Either someone that doesn't understand the game or that is trying to affect the way you lay going forward. You were smart not to respond just ignore it and play your game as you did. Nice that you got the last laugh with the win :)
