Hey Adam!

After nash you should shove:

29.3%, 22+ A2s+ A4o+ K5s+ KTo+ Q8s+ QTo+ J8s+ JTo T8s+ 98s

But honestly... Since you can't really wait for much better spots and you're anyway running through the blinds again I'm shoving def. 50% here! So every better than q7o!

99s are crystalclear!
If you want to analyze spots like that I would try out holdem resources calculator (1 month free trial) or sng witz (1month free trial9

Greets,

Hi Adam,
please don't take this as harsh criticism, its not, just intended as some general advice.
The fact that you are asking if this is a correct move when its an absolute must move would kind of say to me that you need a bit of work on situations where you are short stacked cuz my guess is that you are possibly playing too tight when you have 10BB or less.
If that is the case then you will find yourself blinded away when you should otherwise be getting your chips in earlier.
Might be worth trying a few one table sngs to get a bit more practise.
