Do we call here vs a random? 90 hands on villain and he's running at 36/7. What if he's a reg? What are our ranges in this spot?

    Villain here is a decent reg and this is about the 10th hand at the FT. Folding seems weak, seems like a really good spot for shoving because villain must call really narrow here, 3b/c I like for the reason above and also because it looks so strong. Calling is an option too. Any thoughts? Would we say.. 3b/c>reshoving>calling>folding?

      you cant 't fold here. Push de AQ, villian has a huge bubble factor and AK should be a fold on his side and even if he calls and wins, you still have a stack


      the A8 might be a thin call, don't think a 36/7 looks as a reg. I'd insta call if blinds are just about to go up

          Is this stand. reshove against regulars?
          05-13-2012 , 10:21 AM
          There is so many bankroll suggestions that it is hard to pick one. I am thinking about 45man sngs.

          I was thinking, how big of a bankroll do i need if im playing -16 tables ?

          Hi, hope this is the correct thread...
          Where can I find some thread about pokerstars 18 man (turbo) strategy?? Can't find anything..
          05-14-2012 , 06:18 AM
          HU of a 45s regular (10 min levels). The Villain has me covered 2-to-1, so we're 30BB effective. He starts to push 100% of his hands. What range do we call? 40%? 30%?
          05-15-2012 , 10:11 PM
          He's jamming every hand?

          Leaning towards 40%, and a little bit wider to include more Qx and Kx hands.

            reshoves 99+/AQo+
            3b/c seems worse to me, he is not 4b/shoving real worse hands. we could 3b call if he had 25bbs and opening from HJ
            calling seems ok too, less variance

            If he is doing that, I guess he sucks a ton.
            I would lean towards not getting into 55/45 of 52/48 situations and fold some hands who could be good according to pokerstove. would search for some 60/40 type of edge so that's 35% of hands

            you're doing it wrong.

            just stove each weak hand against a random hand, not the whole range. i.e. 87s only has 48% vs a random hand, so you wouldn't call with that would you?
            05-16-2012 , 05:59 PM
            yeah lol wtf was I doing. hangover.........

            I stoved the range for at least 59.xxx%+ and that's what I got.
            If we're looking for 60% spots against a random shoving monkey, the range looks like this:
            {55+, K9s+, KTo+, A8o+, A5s+, QTs+}
            The whole range is 65% against a random shoving hand.
            05-22-2012 , 09:23 AM
            Does any1 have a clue of the formula for SNG wizard pushing ranges?

            BvB it's simple:

            EV = dead_money * FE + (1-FE) [ (2*smallest_stack + dead_money) * equity_win (pokerstove) - (smallest_stack) * equity_lose(pokerstove) ]

            But if we are in BU, I simple don't get it. I think general EV = EV_SB + EV_BB + EV_SB&BB (both in the pot at the same time).

            Thanks.
