*** Official MTTSNG quick checkup thread ***

[furo]

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?

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

[ftn_chris]

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

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.

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

[PAROOVKA]

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

[SMUTTTT]

Def. not shipping K7s there.

[Camzace]

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