Bad shove?

edited September 2010 in The Poker Clinic
Don't play that many MTT.. I have about 12 BB here with 36 people left.. Is it right to shove or should I have waited for a better hand??
When should I be shoving and with what kind of hands?
Any help would be appreciated. :)

    hmmmmmm it's dodgy,

    I would raise it to 678, and fold if there's a shove behind. 

    Still got 10xbb behind if it goes wrong, and u dodge a bullet baby ;)

    Personally, I think it's either fold or shove. Your not in much of a position to try and steal, preferably fold and wait for hands such as any pocket pair 9's and above in my opinion, and obv hands such as AJAQAK! But it's not the worst of plays.

    I dont like the shove, i probably would fold in this spot but would prefer the raise of 700. problem with shoving here your only going to be called when your beaten, not really at panic stations yet, personally i will start shoving around 8 bb so you got a couple more rounds but thats how i play it. not a bad move as your add 10%(bit less) to your chipstack if everyone folds but i wouldn't be putting anything in here and im not a nit before you say :P
