EDIT: Title is wrong - don't know how to fix. It was J6s

Big question is should I have waited... I decided to push to try to win the unentered pot - but because small blind had me covered not sure if this was the correct play.

I liked what he showed - but unfortunately he connected with trips.

Theoretically my opponent made a mistake (calling without favorable odds); however, my hand was also questionable weak (a lot lower than my normal range) for an all in so I’m not sure if I should have waited for a stronger combination in that spot with 10 BB.

I only decided to push because everyone else folded... and unless someone has a monster hand I put my odds at roughly 50/50.

Yes this is to loose. You can push here with JTs maybe even J9s but not something as bad as J6s. This hand you need to fold and wait for a better spot.

What would justify slamming with something like J6s? Below 5BB?

Part of my issue was my m ratio is was 3.8 so I was unsure how much longer I should wait before making a move (and the position was arguably good there).

Mainly having only one player left to act behind you. You can get the exact GTO jamming range for this hand by plugging it into ICMizer. They give you a free daily calculation just for signing up. You select the tournament, which I presume was a 180 man regular speed, then you plug in the stack sized, put HERO in HJ seat, but the program in MTT mode and tells it, how many players were left. If you are interested in improving your push-fold skills, this is the way to go.

Thanks I値l check it out

Yo!!!! Yeah as i said, no much harm since you had only 6 bigs
