This is the official MTTSNG thread for a quick linecheck or if you want a question to be answered quickly.
Be precise with your question and explain the spot to get good responses.
As always, be polite to other posters and treat each other with respect.


Example:

I have a scenario that I was a bit confused about when it came up:

It's the hand for hand on the exact bubble of a $15 180, blinds 600/1200/125 antes, here is the small blind with only 50 chips behind after posting ante + SB.

Hero notices that someone has busted already as "smallest stack" is now 0. Hero can safely assume that the busted player had him covered because his own stack is so small.

Dealt to Hero: 72

UTG raises to 3600, MP calls, Hero ?

edit: And if we are folding 72o, what is the bottom of our calling range?

the mods

win it you're at ~2500 with a stack that isnt worth much more than a mincash, lose you bust. you're like 25% to win it. would be more interesting if you had KK, no? get picked by AWice for the protege experiment and maybe he'll do the math for you!

woof

oh i didnt even see that mp called

MAYBE FOR YOUR NEXT EXAMPLE YOU SHOULD HAVE A HH FORMAT THAT DOESNT SUCK.

Calling range is very VERY narrow in this spot. Guaranteed $30 or something with the gtd bubble boy. Even if we call and win (which is so so unlikely) we only have a stack worth 3875. Think my calling range is either KK+ or AA

gotcha chris
good advice
also for everyone else!

Hey. I just want to know if I'm playing way out of line here, or if this shove is correct. It's the bubble of a 45man turbo. No maniacs or superdonks at the table from the stats I got, so I'm not counting on any light calls. So assuming I will be called very tight, is this shove +EV, or am I just way to loose here?

I'd rather tighten the range, especially in 45-man. People tend to be really nits in them, and, as Chillin Dude said in his thread, you need to start shoving wide from as little as 7-8 BB deep. That deep and from UTG+2, it's fold. You have great stack atm and should wait for much better spots than this.

Definitely too deep to be shoving here. If MP1 or 2 snap you off, (which is probably more likely than you think) you are in serious trouble. If you really want to get fancy, your stack is technically deep enough to min raise here and call off the button, however be prepared for the BB to come along for the ride and your flop play better be pretty decent because it could get sticky fast. Best is just fold.

fold, fold, fold, Hero ??


7$ 45 man sb/bb are unknown and tight over 40hands

13bb without Antes from BU - you shove like its a nobrainer?

I think the bottom of my range here is K9s Qjs J10s Ax

It's a boarder spot, and not no-brainer, but against two tight blinds I ship lighter, so it's an easy shove

Def. not shipping K7s there.

Think its a close fold, I ship 10-11 bb probably... maybe

I'm looking for a chart/program to train/check up on push ranges. I read somewhere that I can combine pokerstove with some kind of calculator to do it, but I can't find that post.
I'm playing mainly 45man so I suppose I would need something for both chip ev and ICM.

Here's an example of a hand I would want to check up on. I'm not looking for analysis on this particular hand, but for a way that I can figure it out myself. Thanks in advance!

ICM explorer is what you're looking for i think

Tried dl it but I rly didn't get that program at all.

I have SNGEGT atm that does what I want, but only for the finaltable. I need something that I can use pre FT and for chip ev.

Also, the more you play them, the more you feel comfortable in the particular situations. IMO experience is really crucial here.

sngwiz is the only program i think that really has a good cev calc.


you can use nash if you set the payout structure to 1.0 and that models close enough to cEV to get a good idea.

It seems to work alright. Thank you!

good shove, sng wizard.

22 players left, is this a standard fold or shove?

What is the minimum you shove here?

hey guys, i have a question. what is the threshold for when we do NOT simply do push/fold? Is it bad to play a raise/fold strategy 20bb? 15bb? 25bb?

$4/180 FT

i've been fairly active but nothing out of line.

couple of orbits ago he 3b me 2.5x and i folded - stacks were similar to this, we were quite a bit ahead of the others so it sorta felt like he was trying to icm **** me.

he seems to be on the taggier side, hadn't seen him do anything out of line as yet. running like 17/16 over a decent sample (80+ hands - non-turbo FTs last forever!)

i'd supersnapfold in a 45man but is the icm a big enough factor in 180s to fold as well? think it probs is but just want a check.
