Hey guys and girls. This was on a pretty call nitty bubble table. SNG Wiz says if everyone is calling top 10% (ATo+, A8s+, 55+) that I should be shoving 6.8% (88+, AJo+) but I know it doesn't take into consideration that the blinds are about to hit me and I'm going to drop 1.5BB if I don't get a walk or end up with a hand (even given that, I don't know how much wider my range should get from the 6.8%).

I know I could survive by letting the blinds pass me but at the time I thought I'd rather take action than get windled away. Is making this shove a leak?

Thanks,
Danny

Hi all,

Nice hand well played. You exert a ton of pressure here and also pick up the chiplead if everyone folds, which is very common. Don't think people are calling 10% BTW. for example if SB calls and loses he will most likely bubble. If the others call and lose they WILL bubble. So I'm estimating more like 4-6% or so, if even that loose..
