Ok, so we are approaching the places paid of a low stake tournament. I want to show you two similar situations, and know which one you are more likely to push than the other.
In both situations, we hold J8s and we are sitting on the button. It's an unopened pot.
Situation A:
We have 8 BB, both the small blind and the big blind have 30 BB.
Situation B :
We have 30 BB, both the small blind and the big blind have 30 BB.
I used to think that both situations were the same, since 8 BB are in play, but I realize that when playing big stacks I tend to lose it more often than keep it as an advantage.
Oh no! I made a mistake in what i wanted to ask! Here's the correction :

depends on the tournament stage, but if it's still far to the FT then:
A : push
B : try stealing if BB doesn't know that he can call with any two and push on a good flop. Fold otherwise.
