I wonder what the wisdom is on 3-bet versus shoving?
Following are a couple of situations where I have stacked off completely. Both situations I was c. 40 bb deep (roughly average stack).
Position 1: I am the SB with AKo, UTG raises to 2 x BB and there are 3 callers ahead of me. I don't want to play a pot out of position against 4 opponents so I shove. Two callers show 77 and 99. I miss the flop and I'm out.
Position 2: Again I am in the SB with 77. CO raises to 2.2x BB and I shove. BB who covers me calls with 99 ......
I think position 2 was clearly an error on my part but position 1? If I get called I think I'm in good shape. If I was in the position of one of the callers with mid-pairs am I happy to play for my tournament life with mid-pairs to a shove?
Should I limit my shove's to positions where I am clearly under more chip pressure (10-20 bb's)?
Would be interested in peoples thoughts.
