I'm mostly asking about my preflop game. I'm absolutely loving the MTT grind, but the one thing I have a lot of trouble with is preflop, namely all the limpers that will call your 10x iso raise and when you miss flop and check back they just fire with everything (not a problem when you have tptk, because you usually get 2 streets of value from them when they have 5% equity) But also push fold ranges. Mostly what range to call in the BB, what range to ISO a shove, and how having a shorter stack affects that. (eg. I have 19bbs calling an 11bb shove from the BTN with A9o. Even If i have 55% equity vs his tight button shoving range, because people don't shove even close to NASH at micros losing that all in will leave me with 8bbs and no fold equity when I'm pushing.)
-So the things I need help with most is BB shove calling ranges, how different bb stack sizes differ that range.
-20bb reshove range I'm doing pretty alright with, but more help can't be a bad thing
Am I just putting hands that are close and trying to guess his range and chuck it into equilab?
I also need help with this hand here, should this have just been an open shove? This is at the final table $3.30 5k GTD (ended up busting 4th place with a guy sitting at 6bbs when I open shoved 16bbs OTB with JJ and got snapped off with ATo in the SB D: A OTF
There's a ton of ICM pressure with 2 shortstacks to my right, and huge pay jumps. But I'm in an absolute **** position. I can't call shoves from the right (they're being extremely aggressive) and I can't steal any blinds because the big stacks just play back at me knowing I have to fold nearly the top of my range everytime here.
