I played in a MTT, and had ~10bbs left UTG with 30 players left. Keep in mind that antes were in play.

Do I ship it with QJs, or wait for a better spot? Thanks!

the shove is slightly -EV but you will be in the blinds soon and lose some of your stack anyway (unless you get lucky and get dealed the ****ing deck)

so its fine to shove broadways/suited Aces/Pairs and use the FE you still have

Thansk fro the info, Furo!

What happened is the guy on the button had KK, and best hand held up.

Think of your image at table first. Will you be looked up with likes of K J or A 9, or have likes of A J , small pairs fold? And if you shove and run to KK or likes, curse the poker gods and load another game.

Yeah, table image makes the difference here. You can't shove this if u had been shoving a lot neitheir if someone is likely to call light.

Yeah, never thought about table image. I will keep that in mind next time.

But yeah, I was shoving a lot previously because I was getting blinded to death. I had lost a big hand previous to my shoving, so players know I was on tilt. Therefore, I guess you could say I had a looser image.

There was one player earlier in the tourney that had shoved over my PFR with KQoff, and I folded it because he had a tight image. If he had been shoving a lot, I would have snap called.

Thanks again for the info.
