Usually late in the tournie, if I have 3BB or less, its time to take your best shot and push all-in. The idea is to try and isolate an opponent or steal the blinds. Getting into a one on one race with is about best you can hope for.
- Late position is best to narrow the field.
- Avoid the chip leader if possible.
- Minimum hands to push with any pair OR
- Any pocket that adds up to 20 or more (2=2 ... K=13,A=14)
- Waiting for something suited or connected will not help as much in a one on one race.
If you wait until you are almost blinded out, then multiple opponents may call your last 1BB or 2BB All-in. This greatly reduces your odds.
