Meh, I was trying to keep it friendly, but yeah.. that shove is pretty awful. You're never getting called by less than a coinflip and 20bbs is plenty of chips to put pressure on people in much better spots. Without knowing exact stacks you're more than likely a double up away from a top 3 stack.

Don't agree totally with ^^^ 77s is a fine Nash jam but I'm not taking Nash in easy field mtts where are edge should be high. Also depending on stacks behind but not going to snap say 77sa bad ship .

very aggro chip leader BTN opens and i'm sitting on 77 in the BB with 20bb

the complexity of my decision is represented by this merry little tune:

Completely pointless to just rip 20bbs if you have any sort of edge on the field. Why take the agro spot in a soft Bovada field?

Don't take offense Angel, is this thread to get better or just for beats/brags? This is a spot that separates good MTT players and great ones. With 10 people left in what is a presumably soft field there is just no need no matter what a chart says. 2 years ago I always ripped it here too.... it's fine to pass up +ev spots at or near final tables if you have a skill edge on the table. Let others ride the variance wave and just let them **** up. It's a marginal spot at best.

77 is an auto shove with 20BBs vs a BTN open unless his stats are 10/5.

And where the hell does our edge come from when we fold 77 in that spot.

I never said to fold, I said shoving isn't great if you have an edge. There is more to do with 20bbs than just go all in, that's the easy way out.

The 77 is a super standard shove for 20 bbs vs a button open. Can't pass on that spot.

+1 for super standard, no idea what you're talking about iplayplo, if anything it's a leak to over-emphasize your edge in a tourney when you're sub-25bbs

"completely pointless to just rip 20bbs"
"I never said to fold"

then wat r u sayin bruh, flat? there's just no way flat is anywhere close to the EV of jam vs. any reasonable BTN opening range

Keep jamming it in boys, gl. I'm def not qualified to suggest different. ( rolls eyes)

Fwiw, being super standard isn't what makes you a MTT crusher, doing what isn't super standard is. Think about why that may be and you'll get it.

Iplay your our correct in saying you can pass up on A lot of small + ev spots but this is not one of them, if where not ripping 77s here then we're not ripping enough or where extremely not balance.
A good spot your trying to portray is let say a super nitty bb has 15bb and we have k3o, bvb we can rip this in Nash esp vs someone folding at high freq and not defending . But if he a total rando with no defense freq and hardly any 3 bets we don't need to risk our tournament lives where a 2.8bb raise Will accomplish the same and if we get rejam it's a clear fold . Dunno if that all
Makes since just my 2 cents
