    Last night played in a tournament was in 14th place,

    I am UG+1, the table is 7 seated. Blinds are 6-12K ante is 3K, I push 68K all in with A5 off. UG+2 thinks about it for a while and calls with 44. Everybody else folds. The button says he had A5 as well. The 44’s hold up.

    Do you think I made a mistake pushing all in?

    How did your stack compare to the other seven?

    I was small stack on my table, but the other table had 2 players lower than me.

    I always try to consider my stack equity. While it is generally sound to be aggressive when you are short ten big blinds or less, I also keep my equity in mind.

    For example, if I was short with 50k but every other stack at my table was 200k or more then they are much more likely to call my push. I therefore would try not to push too weak of a hand. However, if the stacks were 100k to 150k they will think harder about risking one-third to half their stacks toward the end, so my weaker hand pushes have much more psychological value.

    That is my take on those situations.

    Sound advice for sure. Its great to be able to discuss hands and get different views. This is how our games get stronger.
