Had this scenario last night at DTD, just this is more of a "What would you do?" rather than a "What do you think of what I did?" post...

DTD £75 freezout, 18 left and only top 5 paid
Blinds 300/600/50 Average stack 13k, I have 5k

UTG dealt   

What do you do and why?

Less than 10BB at this stage of game you need to get a stack to challenge with! This is a clear push to me!

Jam pre

1350 in the pot - you have no other play  - hope to get called by 55-99  <AT  or AJ-AK and hold

Easy fold, why would you want to see a board out of position when you could get  next hand?

I had a similar situation last night when I just started to get short and was planning to shove anything decent but found TT. As I hadn't shoved pre yet I decided to gamble and get some value from what was likely the best hand. I put in a standard raise, hit top set and got paid.

I think the shove is standard but you could raise hoping to get all the chips in here which is a more dangerous line I know. We are still a good bit off the money though and might not see a better hand for a while.

Raising 2k out of 5k from UTG looks stronger than pushing thou

Generally I agree. I was at a table with bad players in a live sunday afternoon game tho who were regularly making standard raises or limping with 10BB and less.

The standard at the final table was much better and I shove here all day long against those players.

right up to till the point that u get called from the BB and the board runs AKQ - then its not so clever

You get called by worse many times in this spot because shoving widens your range.

I know what u are saying in terms of looking strong - but i would peel in the BB with any 2 broadway cards and if my stack was big enough be prepared to double the guy up if I hit (assuming he has AA which i suppose is what ur suggesting)
