dont mean to turn this into BBV, just a little tilted since I've bubbled a ton of these and can't seem to figure them out.

another hand I'm curious about, what is the correct shoving/calling range here?

Here is the nash if anyone is interested.

http://www.holdemresources.net/h/web...01089&s7=31572

I know nash is not entirely viable because of moving/increasing blinds or whatever.

What I find really interesting is that the BB is supposed to overcall only with aces It seems to me like if btn is shoving wide, and SB calls with a big equity advantage, a large amout of the time the bubble will not burst, and the BB would have given up his best chance for a huge chip up with KK/QQ. Thoughts?

edit: I'm stupid. The nash assumes the SB is a good player and is calling with only aces, so obviously you can only overcall aces or your lighting money on fire. derp

SB is supposed to be calling J8s? Really?

BB calls J8s vs SB on 90%+... but yeah it looks kinda funny. Defend your children!

Villian is a random, dont have a decent handsample on him.

Pukefold right?

EDIT: And thoughts on this riversize vs shove?

I like more on each street, river is a fold v most. Games will suck when calling there is standard

a bit more each st and just shove river vs random. even if i got to river like that i'd shove for 85% or w/e it is
as played yea gross but u can only call if u think he is bluffing or value shoving worse remotely often enough, my guess is a random is not

whats wrong with sizings ? unless BB is a total drooler, sizings are just fine

disagree on shoving river >>>betting 1/2 as played unless you have a specific reason to; after all this is the Sun500 not the 5r

If you can't shove this river then you're the bad reg

Exact bubble, I'm 12/13, shortest stack is about 9k. Sorry if it's trivial

If Btn has been active def jamming this

I think it's a fold unless BU is going to be calling it off really tightly

24 left in the Bigger 109.. MP3 is a random to me but has been very active preflop opening and 3betting other players at the table. Only pot I've played vs. him so far: I defend BB and c/r 843ss and he folds. This is one orbit later. BTN has moved to the table this orbit. He is also a random and hasn't played a pot yet. SB is a random but hasn't done much out of line. Not overly-agro either. Don't think I have a spewy or over-aggro image to the table but I have been playing aggressively. This table is really soft, but at the other two tables there are some very good regs left. I have an above average stack at the time and the current chip leader is around 850k.

I would call.
He is prob not going to call a shove with a worse hand, wont fold a better hand and he is not going to bluff big pot/oop/no sidepot postflop too often
SB range is prob 66-TT(AA?)/AJ-AQ

what about mp3

he's probably shoving QQ/AK so we can fold to his shove
i think he is going to call all of his pocket pairs and suited connectors/suited broadways so if sb checks on low boards we can easily shove flop or bet small/shove turn on many boards or check and try to get this to showdown. Note this is going to be a pot without any side pots, so he shouldnt bluff w/ air this pot if he has a brain

Jam with reads on SB, if he's not bad then it becomes a close fold

200 turbo many shortstacks,83 left, 81 make the money, I have about 70 seconds in my timebank. Who times down and who saves timebank?? does your answer change if you have JJ, 88, AK?

Villian is unknown to me this is the Sunday 500.

Time down the first one until it goes H4H or you have 10 seconds left, whicever comes first.

Second one we need location, ABI, recent history

just wanted to say thanks for this, still one of my all time favorite posts.

Jammer is good reg, caller is a fish. I'd expect him to play fairly straightforward in the sidepot, although there's always the random betting factor what makes this so close

call/jam?

Jam, think he's going to either a) fold way too much b) call it off with hands we're ahead of too much
