[OFFICIAL] SSMTT quick checkup thread - Page 16 - MTT Poker Strategy

Just lateregged some tourneys and this is the first hand I am playing today. Its BIG16.50. I think I folded one hand in this before this came up.

villain is SuperNova from Uzbek and I have some old stats which says he is playing 17/12/2,6 3b in 117 hands, but I don't have a clue when or in which tourney are those hands played. Seems like a little weird push this deep. Can't exclude the top of his range, because if he is multitabling like a madman, he might just go for max value pre vs EP-isoraiser.

Just LOL-click call and be happy about it?

Rip it without reads. BB should't flat with blade here, so its more likely that he has TT-JJ/AK type of hands which he doesn't want to gii pre for some reason.

Ep limps, limp, limp, Hero in BB shoves for 11k with J2o...

This is a little thin. I would option check pre.

This is not a dumb spot. I am not sure if I could call actually - AK QQ for sure. A lot of it comes down to how the big stack plays... reads etc. Usually with 40bb I'm OK to gii and likely would.

BIG 5.50$. Second hand at this table so basically readless. Dunno if it matters at all, but there is two good regs still left to act. What is our bottom to gii?

Is BB calling 100% of time if u call? I suck at satellite spots, but this looks like a call to me. Don't know how much better we can hope with 5.5bb.

I call, if we do fold and CO gets KO'd we still have a heck of hill to climb (and we would be in the BB).

What do you mean by heck of a hill to climb? Its 90$,109$, 109$ if CO busts.

In terms of getting the 1st/2nd place ticket we want.

If we fold and BB KOs CO, we will be in the BB with 0% FE, about 4BBs and if the big stack has a clue he will raise/call pretty much any two.

Also, CO should be shoving lots of AXs, KQ-T that we beat anyway... A tightish range for V:

(Equity,**Win,**Tie)
Player 1:**56.1%**52.8%**6.67%**[AsJc]
Player 2:**43.9%**40.5%**6.67%**{22+, A2s+, KTs+, QTs+, JTs, A5o+, KJo+, QTo+, JTo}

On the flip side, if CO doubles we are in another difficult situation, hence I don't think we will get a better spot than this.

I don't think we will get a better spot either, but if Co busts there is no hill to climb at all. If he busts the payouts are superflat and it doesn't matter that much if we bust or get a ticket.

BR dependent though right? I mean if we invested 1$ to play the sat, we can't afford to pay out another 19$ to play the tournament we are meant to be satting into?
