When do you push in with that short stack in a tourney?

you cant have some set in stone guideline here.

the most important thing is what both TP and Lou have touched on. you have to be able to get people to fold to your all in. if all you have is 2 BB, then you are probably going to get called, and that generally isnt what you want. you have to be willing to get agressive with marginal hands, but they will provide you with your best chance of surviving in the tourney.

i would assume that this point will be around 5 BB, but you will have to gauge this by the table dynamics.
