10 Big Blinds left! Att Shortstack experts..

Solksjaer

Ok, I know what my range is when I get down to 10 BBs in a tourney. What I'd like to know is you are down to 10 big blinds...(common belief you are in trouble at this stage)

What would YOU push with let's say for the below in the following positions folded to you 9 seated.
Forget bubble etc, just in general and consider it's just to take the blinds down, as I know otherwise it depends on whats in the pot.

SB
BB - edit SB calls
UTG
CUT OFF
BUTTON


For the record, I think 10 BBs is a critical stage but not a PUSH with ANY two.

SB - Nearly anything, would depend on history with BB
BB - If it was folded to me, I'd just take the blinds in....
UTG - Quite tight, 66+ AJ+ suited connectors 56-89 and probably most one gappers in that range too. I wouldn't be pushing raggy A's and probably not most broadway cards, would again depend on table dynamics and images of key players.
CUT OFF - Basically same as button - (see below)
BUTTON - Very wide range, top 40% of hands - would depend on depths of SB and BB and table dynamics

LOL DOH!

It also depends on the players in the blinds, what stacks they have and whether they've been looking up raises.

In general

SB ~ pretty much any suited or non-suited connectors and anything from Q8 up.
BB ~ if it's folded to me I win here surely?? if SB limps then Q8s or better, otherwise check
UTG ~ 55+, KT+, A9s+,ATo+
C/O ~ Q8s or better
BUTTON ~ Q8s or better

all of these are completely dependant on stack sizes of players left, their propsensity to look up preflop raisers and whether we're on the bubble or not, as well as other relevant table dynamics.

The answer to your questions are almost completely based on the type of players at the table. When I'm at 5BBs I will open push with any two cards, at any position, regardless of the other players. Any stack above 5BBs requires adjusting based on the situation and information gained from betting trends.
