33 closeish but should be fine

35ft pretty qide esp if you are unknown to him a good reg is prob atc with this stack size so just set on wiz and call similarly/accordingly. yes i know there is a little icm in the spot

[ste_mc_efc]

what sort of rois can regs acheive in the 15% 45 mans?

and my roi is roughly 14% in the 7s what will that translate to at the 15s?

[thearthurdog]

What is your sample size?

I really don't think there is a lot of difference between the $7s and $15s ($7s maybe a little fishier).

The guys at the top of the SS leaderboard (for $5 - $15, so both buy ins) seem to be about 12-15%.

thanks for the response

1200 games. Not a great sample I know, but I want to know if it's worth playing 15s too. Not sure if it's worth the added variance in terms of dollars or if I should just stick to the 7s for now until i have ironed out a few of my leaks and weak points.

I have a micro sample of 15s (150 in last two months) and judging from player pools i am confident I can beat them to an extent.

This hand came up in 3.5 / 45 today, down to last three. Call or Fold?

fold

[arrtvandelay]

fold even if villain is ATC.

[freeworld777]

What should we be calling with if he is shoving ATC?

[arrtvandelay]

maybe this: 77+,A2s+,KJs+,A2o+,KQo because of icm. Maybe that's too tight, but it gives us some 63% equity against villain, sounds good.

I'm beating the 7s and the 30s but getting my soul owned in the 15s; go figure.

[freeworld777]

This is on the bubble of an 8/180 . Villain has been active enough. I figured he was abusing the bubble. SNG Wiz says this is an ICM fold but a cEV call/shove. Not really sure its worth obeying strict ICM on the first money bubble.

Whats your move here?
