Turbo SNG"s - 6 max

[holdemholmes]

I have been doing reasonably well at these lately, just looking to get opinions from other to tweak my game a little bit. First off, how short do you allow your stack to get before you start shipping...8bb, 10bb, more? Second, what is your shipping range 3/4 handed with total unknowns?

I'll tend to shove more than 10bbs in these sngs.  How deep I'll shove will mostly depend on position, the type of hand I have, gameflow, etc.
As for the second question, it's hard to say exactly.  By the time it's 3 or 4 handed I tend to know a bit about my opponents, and there are just so many variables.  Stack sizes have a lot to do with shoving range.  If it's three handed and I have a solid chiplead I'm certainly shoving a lot more hands than if we're all even.  If I'm short I'm shoving a lot more.  If players are tight I'm shoving a lot more.  Of course, if the players are weak and easy to run over I like to fold in decent shoving spots a few times.  I mean, it makes sense imo to show a measure of 'respect' to the other players (even if you don't respect them), to show that you're not shoving everything (even if you are), and to show that you don't play any different from your opponents (even if you do.)  Seriously, one of the worst things in one of these sngs is to convince a weak, passive opponent that you're a 'bully'.  A lot of people hate to be run over and will start to make more calls against you.  Before the bubble, though, if an opponent makes a bad call against you, it often hurts both of you, so trying to lessen those calls (while still trying to run over the table) has to be best imo.

Anyway, sorry for rambling so much (especially when it's off the subject...), but I just had a few thoughts I wanted to write about it.  So, again, it's just kind of hard to say an exact shoving range without taking into account different factors.
