Turbo S'N'G Final table hand analysis
Hey All
Here is a hand from a Turbo I played this morning. Can I get your opinion on my play.
My thinking is I am 5/6 and out of the money and only have 4X BB and dont want to get blinded out. With the Min Raise in front of me I am thinking I might be able to steal a nice bit of chips. I am out to lunch here or is my thought process correct

With action before you need to make sure you hand is slightly stronger, A-Face range or medium pockets.
With no action before me I would push with any Ace, any two face cards, any pair, and any medium suited connectors.
This hand should have been an auto-fold. Next hand UTG you should be pushing with almost anything. The BB will have a tough time calling since your stack is a significant portion of his (unless he wakes up with a hand).
