At this very moment, Allen Cunningham is 10 tabling $2/$4 NLH. 10 tabling. wow.

I feel like playing some $1/$2 tonight, but thats risking my whole online roll if I do that.

Things you really shouldn't push all-in preflop with in most spots during any tournament:
A2-AJ
22-99
----------
I'd honestly rather push with KQ than any ragged ace. Why? Because if you're short stacked enough to be pushing with A-Rag, you will get called by any better ace or any pocket pair. And not by any other hands. Theres no need to be dominated when you make your move.

I learned my lesson with AJ yesterday UTG in a 180 person SNG. With less than 30 people left, and me short stacked (9BB), I pushed all-in and was called by AQ who was the BB. Too bad, cuz I was only one guy away from stealing those blinds. In that spot though, I knew that if I got called, I was going to be losing. Or if I was extremely lucky, I might be racing. The thing is, at that point in the tournament, I might get called by a small pocket pair if they suck. However, it is pretty much a given that anyone without AQ, AK, AJs (and a big stack), or a bigger pair will fold. I probably should have waited for a better spot to steal a few blinds, but I got panicked and impatient.



Don't go broke on hands like this.
Damn this was fishy for some reason, but I couldn't lay down a Q here.
