Hey Guys,

So last night on my session, I had several spots that brought up several questions into my head about the correct play, or in some cases taking perhaps an option that longe term might be a bit more +EV but will also bring a lot more variance.

Say you are in the BU, with 25BB and have K10s in an unopened pot. The blinds are tight say, 23/16 and 20/12 and both have 10-11BB, supposedly this would be an easy push since our effective stack is 10-11BB, However I feel that while this might be a +EV move, that folding or Raising might avoid the variance of when we end up getting called and lose that hand,

Since K10s it's actually kind of a good hand in that position, other one that happened to me was in the SB with 20BB holding 89s. VS a BB with 10BB.is this a shove too?
Are you always taking this lines?

What are your views in this?
Appreciate any help you might be able. To give

Yeah both hands are clear shoves almost always for 11bb. BvB 89o might be hand to not shove but go for small ball line with small raise or limp depending of opponent. KTo is still pretty strong hand to minraise-fold or open fold from BU with 11bb.
