late in tourney decision

You will see a lot of calls from the blinds with Ax, Kx and other random drawing hands depending on the size of the blinds. What the blinds think of your range is also key here. If you are pushing any hand you are playing for the last few rounds, then a QQ push is disguised and you might a pleasant surprise from a BB big stack.

thanks BB these were kind of the reasoning posts I wanted to see to weigh the benifits of pushing vs. standard raising. I think in the games I usually play the $4 180s I believe standard raising is better because the blinds have a tendency to shove their Ax hands thinking you are trying to steal. But of course also like you said shoving could be great too because they might overcall their weak Ax and Kx hands thinking you are stealing. I guess there is no real clear cut answer for this one.
