Drill PokerEight blinds from middle position is the workhorse of the tournament endgame: this spot comes up more often than most, and the equilibrium here is more generous than people assume — 43 hands, 19% of combos.
Push from MP, 8 BB stack
The range holds every pair from 22, any suited ace, offsuit aces from ATo, kings from K8s and KJo, queens from Q9s, plus QJo, JTs and T9s. Compare with early position at the same stack: there the pairs started at 44 and the suited aces at A7s. The two or three players who have already mucked widen the shove half again — position works even when there are only two decisions.
A common leak at this mark is folding small pairs "because a call is almost certain". True, a call is likely — but 22–66 play a coin flip against a typical calling range, and on top of that come all the times your opponents fold. Added up, the shove is profitable, and the alternative is paying blinds and waiting.
The second leak is the mirror image: shoving K9o, Q9o and the rest of the "almost-broadway". Those hands are folds — they are dominated by nearly everything willing to go to showdown with you.
