played good. Most of the time you will win the pot right there and you need those blinds and antes with only 8blinds.. perfect spot.

if you has observed that he has limp/folded a lot in these type of situations then it's a great shove.

this will and can be a trap, however you have to go with your read here. The thing you need to be careful of is assuming he limps at this stack depth alot, if you have witnessed him limp folding a 20BB stack it's much differant when he has a 10BB stack, but if you've seen him limp/fold a 10BB or 20BB stack it's a pretty easy shove here really. But yeah, just be careful your read is what it is.

I would shove here and when he call me with 98s, J7o or similar hands, so i write remark to him and wait for a better hand with bigger equity...

If he fold to my shove, so i write a remark to him that he limp/fodl BTN on bubble with 10BBs...because it's strange play...and shove should be right...

I don't know if i am right, but it's my opinion...

Easy shove with that kind of stack and position.

i played easy push A7o+,A5s,44+,KQo,KJs+

Very close spot. As stated above, if he is a chronic limper and you have witnessed him limp/folding, then shove. If he is not a frequent limper or you have observed he limp/calls off with at least marginal hands, then fold.

Really weird spot based on stack sizes and positions. Completely in a vacuum, you wouldn't think he's limp-folding very often, so I wouldn't expect to have much fold equity. I would need a read that this player is just completely unaware of short-stack play to think he's folding here.
