Should I have waited a little longer for a stronger hand or is this optimal?

if you do the math on how often the entire table wakes up with ak or better...you'll find you pick up the blinds often enough to make up for the times you are behind....

if you add it all together....its a winning play

but you have to wait for a 2nd opinion before you can be sure of my answer!

Actually I prefer a hand like 8,9; 9,10 or 10,J here, just less chance of being dominated. The idea is not to get called but if you do, don't be dominated.

theres so much win in shoving here it doesn't matter....keeping in mind a k and q blocks plenty of good hands and does well against all other pairs...

these hands would be a good start...

22+ A3s+ A9o+ K9s+ KJo+ Q9s+ QJo J9s+ T9s 98s

in a weak game like the 180 turbos...im prob shoving at least

22+ Ax+ K6s+ KTo+ Q8s+ QTo+ J8s+ JTo T7s+ 97s+ 87s 76s
