What do you do if you're chip leader on the final table, and there's a couple stacks that are about 5 blinds big, and they just keep passing back their stacks, and you're drawing dead, and your stack just keeps dwindling away? I have run into this exact problem for six games in a row and I can't figure out what the fuck to do about it. Am I just plainly fucked?

how deep are you when they are "about 5bbs" left?

Avg stack would be around 15 blinds, and for the most part, I'm 20 to 25 blinds.

if you are playing poker and you are being unlucky, then you lose. if the short stack - and with a turboish structure like you are describing then they're constantly committed preflop- keeps on winning, then that's just bad luck. there's no way to solve this. just play mathematically sound poker, unless it's a 1 or 2 table sitngo or satellite (or you're playing way underrolled) then you always wanna aim for winning. when the guys with 5 bb are going allin, you assign them a wide push range and call accordingly, and if you are big stack then also push really wide from late position, depending on their calling frequencies- but normally the "5bb survivors" have a tighter calling range than they should have (or they'd never reach 5bb.)

When this predicament happens, I find the best course of action is to whip out your dick and do the whirlybird.

Your probably not raising enough into them. If theres alot of 5 bb stacks you can profitably shove any 2 cards into them they wont call because of payjumps.

You are the chip leader, you are in the best position of anyone in the tournament and you are complaining. If the table is tight then you can steal ALOT. If the table is loose then everyone will bust each other. Sit tight play your hands, play your position, play your opponents stack size relative to the blinds. the 15 big blind stacks are going to have trouble calling in with Ax because you all of the short 5bb stacks at the final table, its icm suicide. But if you dont feel like risking 15 blinds, just raise. You can raise ne2 cards profitably into 5 big blind stacks. You are the button, you have 32o, the sb and bb have 5bb you can shove and be fine. Especially at a final table when they are more likely to fold. Players are bad they dont call wide enough and if they are calling wide and shoving wide the table will thin itself out quickly, you should be shoving very wide, but you dont have too, you can sit on your chips wait for good steal spots, good value spots and be totally ok.

What is the crime for apostasy?!
