hi_am_chris:
Any ace is a silly shove imo, id rather shove 78 suited and hands like that, id also rather let the blinds hit me and look to shove ATC from the small blind or button. In the tournament i shoved but i dont know if i would have shoved 66 or lower. If you get called with 66 your pretty much dead and at best racing

AMRN:
On reflection I agree re any Ace - but in late position in an unopened pot, any Ace would be good enough for me.   I"d probably be inclined to push from any position into an unopened pot with any pair though, even 66 - not really much difference between 66 and 99........ if someone is going to call with a big ace, 99 is same odds as 66.

hi_am_chris:
Agree im shoving any ace from hijack, cut off, button, sb, i just think shoving 99 you might get more hands you dominate calling you, 88 77 maybe 66 and also depending on stacks a9 a8 a7s at a push which are flipping with the small pairs. Some people espec in low buy in tournys cant let go of an ace or a pair.

Swinebag:
I personally think that shove is standard here.

However I do like Jons thinking which, if I"m not mistaken, is to try and get another hand (that is a big dog to 99 and would normally fold to a shove) to shove.

This strategy does have many pitfalls but probably does increase the chances of a double up, and also of busting out.

deanp27:
my opinion is that if you don"t shove this then you perhaps should take up marbles.

my shoving range may be alot lighter than this in the situation with 6bbs
