Introduction
In this article- Why you should sometimes deviate from the ICM
- The factors that influence your pushing range
- How to react to -$EV-Pushes
"It was just 64o, but I just had to push in that situation" - "This hand obviously isn't in the Nash range, but I'm probably not going to find a better spot" - "52s is good enough, since I'm about to be in the BB"
You probably read such arguments on a regular basis in the Hand Evaluation Forum. The concept behind this line of thought is the -$EV-Push.
It can be quite a shock when you first see the kinds of hands you're supposed to be going all-in with, but it's something no successful SnG player can avoid. This article will introduce you to the -$EV-Push, show you when you can make such a push and discuss the factors that influence your pushing range.
We will conclude with a few thoughts on how to react to -$EV-Pushes and the possibility of the -$EV-Call.

Why bother putting this "article" here at all. It doesn't make any sense to have "teasers". If I wanted to see what I was missing out on I would go look t the GOLD section articles. :S#5
