I used to play until the last blind those days have gone , mmmm 1000k privilege days ....
Now at about ten blinds i get crazy , I look forward to the moment I shove , but maybe I should be a little more patient with the cards and spots to shove , yes , yes , that for sure
I'm quite patient with 10 BB and i usually make bets of 2-2,5 BB to steal the blinds.
Of course still have a possibility to shove if someone is 3-betting or wait for other chance to shove with 7BB.
It's quite successful for me. Of course as always it depends on the table. But if it is a late stage of tournament and opponents play more tight, it works.Raising 2 or 2.5x with 10bbs is a leak. Especially if you're trying to steal since raise/folding 25% of your stack should never happen.
I've been in to some spots last 2 weeks where I shoved where I could have folded and folded where it was clearly a shove. Bit confused.
Most of these situations were after bubble and one of them a final table bubble where I shoved 45s cutoff 6 big blinds and got called by JQo on the SB with same stack size!!! Like I almost ripped the monitor off the table.
"But here comes reality : the tourney in question was the 888 150GTD Turbo $0.11 buy-in and finishing 9th or 11th was kind indifferent to me. So it took part on my decision."
I think that big part of the answer to your question is here : are you looking for the win ? or just trying to climb rewards' steps ?
I see a lot of people chocked by your 54 suited move... Depends of your opponents of course and the structure of MTT, but imo you can shove it with 10-12 BB, especially if you play between 10 and 30 MTT per day.
A monster stack calling station is surely problematic, because he may call with hands that can hardly dominate yours (Wicked Aces suited or not, Kings suited or not, even better connectors suited...) but I do appreciate this hand behave well against A10+ , and after all, you better have 45s vs pocket aces than pocket queens...Yep, it surprises me people still thinking is quite an absurd shove 45s 5 big blinds. But I also understand what some are saying about tightening up and wait, like when you have player(s) to your left with a monster stack calling a lot...
I've been checking charts all over and I've seen some important discrepancies in between them. I am still studying it.
Best Regards
I don't know, for me the best pocket kings than 45
