What's your range here?

[pswnio]

One of them Stars 180s. $20. Down to the final 7. You're the short stack - 16k in chips. Next is 24k, chip leader 60k, the rest around about the 40k mark. Blinds are at 600/1200 with an ante of 125. The table has been averagely aggressive and you've moved up from about 10k in chips through a few pushes, although you've lost your blinds most of the time through a combination of having gack and facing a raise.

Are you pushing with any two in any unopened pot? Or, with 16k, is your policy to wait for a resteal opportunity? Those on 40k may not fancy calling a push for 12k...

a resteal wont get through so its push unopened to steal or find a hand for double up

A resteal WILL get through

[Ironside]

a resteal might get through depends on the amount of orginal steal i suppose but if someone is putting in a pot size steal bet of around 5k they are likely to call when the short stack pushes for 11k more getting nearly 2-1 but then again it depends on the quailty of the players

[boldie]

find a hand to double up is my standard answer with more than 10 BB's. A resteal might go through but I doubt it. In late position you have to try to nick the blinds though.

I'm not looking to re-steal here, unless i have a genuine hand, you will get called by too many 'OK' hands... Cut Off or button, push with virtually any 2... UTG/UTG +1/UTG+2 not looking to push, unless, again, without something genuine... Middle positions, push into weak opponents...

What's ppls thoughts on "genuine hands" for reraising here?  Obv its player dependent but perhaps two categories of opponents - "Any player/position" and "laggy player or button raiser"

Any player for me would be AQ+, 77+

Laggy/button would be any pair. AT+

Too tight? Too loose?
