Yes. With only 10BB you should almost always. The only way I could see not doing it, Is if you're already mentally just hoping to squeak into the money, and you are almost positive you can make it, by not busting out here. Which of course, often backfires.

This is a very easy solution with 10bb.

With 10bbs it is the correct play.
Then again if you were say two busts from the FT and there were players behind you...
A $300 tournament pays out good if you can make the FT.
You have AA, KK and all the AX which can hit.
If there were only similar stacks left to play the hand, shove. If there are only big stacks left to call, you have a hard decision...

Many options depending on what position you're in, stack sizes and dynamics of the table. I often choose to jam with my entire range there with 10bb. Shoving allin pf there seems best, allows you to let others decide. I'm not a fan of inducing others to jam on you when you're already short. I'd rather get the money in preflop, let them decide and run it or just pick up the pot and survive. Do what you feel is best and works for you. Get the money in and run it!

For 10bb I would definitely shove, reraise all-in or call all-in with QQ pre flop no matter how close the money bubble was. I just think QQ I to strong a hand to fold for 10bb just to try to blind your way in to the money for a few cents.

I’ll go all in only if I need to leave and I can’t finish the game at the table.

If we only have ten big blinds, it's worth going all-in, but it's worth waiting for the Flop and if there's no chance of a big pair and a row or flush, it's worth going all-in.

What can be said. QQ is a beautiful hand, but often only preflop. Then she often becomes dominated.

10 bb is a dangerous stack for a tight game, through a cruise it will become 7bb and so on. If we want to win the tournament, we need to go all-in, but if it is important to reach the prize zone, and there is a player with a smaller stack, you can also throw your hand away and wait itm.

Personally, if I like queens whenever they arrive, my move is all in. They are my favorite cards and 95% always win with her, taking more than one at the table.

Its a given especially if there are 2 or more that's went all in. Seems chances are better. I'd only go all in if another player did so first

Yes, I think the right play is to shove. The hand is pretty premium and you've just got to take your chance at that point. Your only two options are to fold or shove. Just calling allows too many people to get into the pot drastically reducing the value of your hand. Take the blinds/antes or potentially double up or better. I'd assume you're never folding the flop once making a call if you decided to do that so might as well get it all in pre-flop.

Yes, in my opinion, with just 10BB it is not worth taking the risk of trying a bigger pot. If you have a bigger stack, the decision may be different depending on position and opponents.

Wha-a-a-a-t!? :eek:
Mate, I don't know for which position you are talking about, but most likely you must go All in with pretty ugly hands. Queens, I will hope for this, I will pray for this, when I have 10bb.

the truth I think the same, it all depends on the bankroll you have yourself and the others since it is a couple that could be good or bad in any case that someone had an AK could get a couple even stronger

Yes its a no brainer at just 10BB. You are dominated by AA and KK (0.9% of hands) and a coin toss against AK (1.2% of hands). The remaining 97.9% of hands you dominate. You could always lose and not get in the money but it's definitely a +EV play.

Only ten bullets left , take that last shot with QQ

Down to ten BBs, you must shove with QQ, why wait? This is a reaction play, "woah, caught a pair at the right time." Can't think of any reason NOT to shove.

Is this a very general question. Stack sizes are very important to determine your action based on ICM conderations. It's a chip ev play to generally be allin with QQ less than 10bb .But if theres ICM things changes drastically.

"But if theres ICM things changes drastically."


Ok, guys, there is HRC for free (one month). Do some calculations. See "the numbers". It is easy to talk every day about poker. It is easy to play this stupid freerolls. Day after day...But it is so hard to learn something "special" for f**king 10 min.

I have played 400k SnG, also DoN. And there is not such thing. "But if theres ICM things changes drastically.". And this is a MTT...The ICM is so "light", not like SnG.

Learn some basics. Make some money from this "private freerolls". Start playing...Don't waste your time. Like me :D.

It would help a lot to take the decile of the all in since it is not a very strong hand
