I've just finished Moshman's book which gave me quite some new ideas about playing SNG's. But i realised at the end that there is something i didn't quite understood.

And that is SB into BB push. ICM trainer or SNG Wizard basically say that when you are around 5BB you should push any 2 unless there are some special circumstances (like being on the bubble with a super-shorty around).

For around 7-8BB you could push something like 70-75% of your hands and going to 10 around 60-65%.

At the end of the book the pushing tables say:

For 3BB push: Any face card, 54s+, 64s+, any 2 cards 7 or higher
For 5BB push:98o,86s+,54s+,J5o+.

But i am habitually pushing any 2 for 5BB or less.

What do you think is the best aproach?

I 'm also pushing ATC. Sometimes I might fold for metagame reasons.


ATC is standard.


This all depends on the stack dynamic, are you the shortest? or are you mid stacked

I would push ATC when the big stack but with 5 bbs and someone else has 3 bb Im not pushing ATC
I would push anytwo when the shortest but i wouldnt be happy if it was the big stack in the bb

maybe the table is for the nash ranges. it sounds like it because it should be very close to 100% but not exactly, for such short stacks
