And as Tom points out, you might not have the choice to make a move on 8bbs anyway - you might have had 40bbs and lost 34 of them in a single pot to some horrible suckout. What then?
wilfuiljoker said she'd been getting 'unplayable' hands like 47s, 94o etc. What we are saying is that these hands aren't necessarily unplayable. There comes a point when your stack dictates you should make a move, not your cards. In this instance she didn't lose 34 big blinds as part of a suckout, in this instance she made the bigger mistakes of blinding down, and is now wondering about a question that shouldn't really exist.

Should she have lost 34 big blinds as part of a horrible suckout, then shoving nearly any two cards when she has those 6 big blinds is the the thing to do.
