Very first hand of a Fifty50, you are on the big blind and every single player pushes all in ahead of you...what is your correct calling/pushing range?

Same question except there are now 6 players all with equal stacks (2500). You are on the big blind and everyone pushes all in ahead of you...what is your correct calling/pushing range?
two aces of spades...

Any thoughts on the hand I posted near the bottom of the previous page?

If he understands the concept of abusing the bubble, he might be seeing you trying to abuse it as well, being the big stack at the table and just one guy limping in front of you.

Cant run any numbers but IŽd snapcall this.

Call. I would treat this hand like a cash game, although you don't often see a guy just 3bet shove 30bb in cash games.


Opponents range:AK,AQ,44-KK,the occasional miss click,a few moron shoves.
I think his range heavily concentrated on AK and 88-QQ the way this play was made. I also threw out AA just because the way he shoved 30bb.

JJ is ahead of his range and the likelihood of survival if you lose this hand is very high.

If this opponent flipped up AKs here prior to making your decision, would you still call? I would.

So if we add in all of the other hands he could have, there is more pairs under JJ than over JJ in his estimated range. Therefore its an easy call.

Don't forget that if we win this hand the tournament will be over, and we'll forfeit any future equity we might have by continuing to pwn the bubble.

Not sure that's relevant in this case since a win will put us over 3 BI. I'd happily take that and end the tourney.

However, I'm still unsure about the call. I know I'm ahead of his range but not far ahead. If we include the big pairs (maybe he's hoping I'll think his overshove looks like a middling pair) and AK/AKs, I'm a coinflip fav. Obviously I become a much bigger fav if you exclude AA/KK.

Yeah, I probably should have called. I am ahead of his likely range and winning ends the tourney with a 3 BI return for me, while losing still leaves me a decent 2700-ish stack. Not very often in these you get a chance to secure a 3 BI return with limited risk.

Re: Fifty50 strat Discussion

Omaha is the wrong game for the fifty50 format. Hand values run so close in omaha that you're rarely getting your money in as a big fav. Not enough reward in the fifty50 format to offset the fact that you typically have much less fold equity than in NLHE, and you're basically flipping for stacks constantly.

Re: Fifty50 strat Discussion

How do I copy the suggested shoving/calling range by sng wiz? Im tired of typing everything out manually every time I make minor tweeks to my charts.

Re: Fifty50 strat Discussion

What do you guys think about me ?(SN Succeed1337) I may do sometimes terrible moves but I`m at least 25 Tabling sometimes if I`m bored I play ~40, so that drops my ROI ofc. Played mostly 10s some 20s/30s/50s

Don't believe i've played with you yet, but nice results so far.

I have a very good/advanced strategy if you want to succeed at the higher stakes, fold vs me if you think your hand is better than mine, and call if you think your hand is worse, GL!

Pretty decent for MTBing these. Not that I try to avoid you at the tables but I am not happy either if you are there
