I think shove is the best play at this blind level and stack sizes.
Also i think AJ is shovable too, depending on the table dynamics!

Hey cheers4chips!

I made an icm analysis:

you should shove:
10.5%, 99+ 66 A2s+ AJo+ KTs+ QJs

In this spot ;)
With Aq I would never do anything different. I would need very every good reads on players to think about minraising qq+, but on almost every tables I would openshove my entire range here!

Greets,
Tiltberger

I was surprised to see shove range as low as A2s,K10s,but thats great info I have learnt there.

I am really enjoying learning :-D & all this info will hopefully help me to achive my goal of reaching a 5 figure profit.

Yeah the suited aces are great hands to shove, and can shove them much wider then the off-suited counterparts.

In saying that, in spots like this one i would prefer to shove A2-A5s over A6, A7s due to the extra equity it has in flopping straights.

But even then, due to most peoples calling range i would rather shove a JTs here then A5s :)

Just something to think about ;)
