Crunch time is the phrase you are looking for...deep in a tourney when the blinds go up so much that you are left with less than 10 big blinds ..thats when people start to shove all overQuote:

The reason for these strategies is that you are too short to make a standard raise and have anything left behind to get people off a marginal hand. Also, you are giving yourself a better chance at getting "back in the game" by doubling up with a larger number of starting chips .
When you're severely short-stacked (10-15bbs) there's no point in throwing in a standard bet. It's all-in or fold time.
it doesn't just happen with high stakes, some people do it the whole tourney, lol
Its called poker lol. You cant expect people to just limp all the time like at the beginning of the tournament lol
all the freerolls are merely donkathons to earn the right to play with more experienced folk
under 15 blinds, I shove if I'm gonna play the hand. and under ten I'm shoving w/.... well let's not give anything away.Quote:
