I discuss short stacked blind versus blind final table play. Lots of people think it is all luck, but that is definitely not true.

Why is shoving not a good option? His M is less than 10, he’s likely to pick up an extra 15k to his stack at this point?
10M (a term I essentially never use because I am not going to blind out) is a ton. There is often no need to risk that much.
I’ve always folded my small blind even when it wasn’t proven to be a leak and I always thought I did fold it to much.
So it’s nice to see, actually it was the best play when I folded time after time and more on top.
I do however still shove in certain spots when faced in this situation, but depending on the player in the BB. I tend to shove more near a bubble or when I know the player is laddering.
Is this ok in certain spots or still no?
It is fine as long as your assessment is correct!
