The 10 big blind rule is only a suggestion, not an absolute law. Here are some guidelines to use when you are first to act or everybody in front of you has folded:

• If you have less than 10 big blinds, you should either push or fold. Any other action pretty much commits you to the pot so if you are going to play a hand you may as well push and maximum your ability to get others to fold.
• If you have more than about 15 big blinds, you should either raise a standard amount (about 3 BB) or fold. Stealing the blinds does not affect your stack enough to risk pushing.
• From 10 to 15 big blinds is a gray area. Depending on your opponent or your hand you may push, raise, or fold. If you have a really strong hand like AA or KK, you probably want to raise to encourage action. If you have a marginal hand like a small pocket pair or AJ, you may want to push to encourage opponent to fold.

The Wizard will analyze just about any hand, but you must keep in mind that it only compares pushing to folding. If you have more than 15 BB, pushing is probably not your best option and you should use the Wizard’s recommendation with caution.
