Hey,
First make some nash calculations and then post your thoughts here again. This way u will learn the most! Then u will see others ranges in the nash and will start thinking more.

Pushing with KJo here is far too optimistic. Because it looks really strong you may make some better hands fold, but you're only going to get called by better and you still have 5 people behind you to act so there's a good chance someone else has better. I know KJo is pretty to look at, but it's really not as strong as it looks so you're better off waiting for a better spot. And with 8BB on practically a full table, that means you'll have about 25+ more hands to look at before you're forced into doing something relatively drastic. Remember the aim of SnGs is to get into the money, not take extreme risks for a bit more chips that are likely to cost you your stack.

Hi all,

Here's Nash for this spot. At the lower limits you can drop the very bottom of the Nash ranges in early positions, not because we're getting called wider but actually because we can get better more profitable spots in future. So both options are fine, and you can choose either based on personal preference and judgement of the table.
