UTG+1: t1405 14.05 BBs
Hero (MP1): t965 9.65 BBs

Pre Flop: (t150) Hero is MP1 with A of diamonds 4
UTG folds, UTG+1 folds, Hero ?

The table was a total fish bowl. BB was running 44/24 over 38 hands, SB was running 25/10 over 33 hands and the button is at 17/16 over 53 hands. CO and HJ were both new to table but 10 hands the CO was 70/30 and the HJ was 40/40 over 5 hands.

Some shove charts indicate a shove here and SnG Wizard indicates a fold (A5s+) when the opponents ranges are entered.

What does the nation feel about this spot?

Cheers!

I think it depends on a couple factors. How long until the blinds move up? Do the blinds go to 75/150 next or 100/200? Also, what is the pace of play like? As in, if you fold are the blinds going to go up before you get to the bb because the table is moving so slow?

If the blinds are going up in a minute and you will be left with 6 or so blinds once you are through them and ready for the next orbit, I say shove. Otherwise if the blinds just went up or there are 3 minutes or so until they do, you can fold and have 10 hands, including 2 in late position and 2 in the blinds where where are generally less players to get through where you can still double up to your original stack + some blinds.

I feel shove is optimal as well.

Keep in mind your about to go back through the blinds as well in a couple hands.

Yeah I’m shoving and then probably thinking the SB will get tempted to come along with Kx, Qx or something stupid….
