I think the push is right, in fact it's quite standard. You would lose fold equity rapidly with such shortstack if you didn't push hands like that.


easy push

On the button as a shortstack I am kinda tight... I like my SB pushes pretty wide but when I know 2 opponents can call me pretty light I often think twice... with 6BB you have a bit of time, but QJs is a hand that has good equity against villains' calling ranges so it's not a bad push... I would probably fold QJo in this spot though...

I'm even pushing QJo and JTo here. Also most of the pockets. You have an OK stack but you are still the shorty so you need to do something..


ICM trainer says:
22+, A2s+, A4o+, K6s+, KTo, Q8s, QTo, J8s, JTo, T8s, 97s, 87s is push. You are lucky that the big stack is only small blind. You can tighten up this selection, if villains are loose callers, or the big stack thinks he has so many chips, that he can call with a lot of hands without risks. If villains are really aggressive, and they are attacking each other in a lot of pots, then you can tighten a little bit more, because there is a better chance that you can get into the 2nd place without much risk. QJs is really strong hand in this situation, if you only pushed premium hands, the blinds would eat you in a few hands, and you wouldn't have any fold equity anymore.

That range sounds pretty good against unknown

Hi all,

mofire87's range looks good. But for simplicity I would just push any ace ;) (including... A2o and A3o!)
