hi_am_chris:
My shoving range from late pos is a hell of a lot lighter. I just think you can find better spots to chip up than shoving utg or utg +1 with a small to medium pair. Even if the blinds hit you you still have fold equity and can open shove from late position. I think 9 handed its not uncommon to run into a bigger pair.

It"s not uncommon because of the quantity of hands that get dealt.
But isn"t it about 16/1 that you get dealt a pocket pair?
If that isn"t exact, the probability is still higher than 9/1.
i.e. If you are dealt a pocket pair it is likely that no one else has been dealt one - let alone a higher one.

... and even though I"m not saying that isn"t an unreasonable position to take generally - in this instance you have 6 big blinds! How much better are you going to get in the next few dozen hands?
hi_am_chris:
hand wise probably not going to get any better but assuming the blinds go through me, hopefully ill get the chance to open shove from late position, anyways i pretty much insta shoved and got called by AA in the bb and the board ran out 34567 (not in that order), happy days lol
