I am in the money for a mincash in the $3.30 super progressive knockout without a big bounty on me. I just got moved to this table. Is this a good hand to gamble with, donk-shoving any flop which we connect to? Waiting longer didn't seem very viable to me.
Thanks a lot in advance.

you can't call profitably when you are this short, just fold and save those chips for when you have to shove in the next few hands.

This hand really is horrible to defend vs two players with, as when we do actually hit a pair, we have to get our chips in and we will be often behind. and the mere fact we will just be folding too many flops means we are gifting 800 chips the overwhelming majority of the time 60-70%.

vs just one opponant i really like trying to make a move here with a stop and go, but the fact we're short and it's a knockout means we will be called alot more.


The real question is how did your stack get so low? If you lost a big hand earlier and you haven't had chances to shove that is ok. If you folded your way down to this stack, then you need to take more risks earlier when you have a bigger stack size. So perhaps you need to focus more on spots earlier than you do in this spot, where you are kind of screwed even though you got a min-cash.

I would fold pre,your hand are likely to be dominated most of the time.
