From what I have read/understand, once you are above 13-14BBs you are not always pushing. For me I go into push/fold mode around 10BBs. If I am on the button or cutoff I think it is fine to steal 3x instead of shove, but ig I have a decent hand I usually shove.

Have just started playing these yesterday too, best i've done so far is 2x 6th place finishes, both of which took around 75 mins, so I would say that theyre not lasting much longer than that to take one down.

How much volume are you looking at getting in? I stopped reg'ing at around 9:15pm so I wouldnt be wrecked for work in the morning, but only started at around 7:30ish after getting the kids to bed, pretty worried about how much volume i'm gonna do as i'm only 6 tabling atm

Yeah Me too, think i started around 8:30 had up to 10 tables open in one point in the session i think i played 12 games last night busted my last game in fourth @ about 10:30, i also had a mix of turbo's and non turbo's so just wondering what will suit me best

Think i may open a thread as i would like to get some people's opion's on it

I change the filters on Stars to include completed games to see what time similar games started and finished. 180 turbos can take 1.5 - 2 hrs, longer with rebuys obv. Turbo 45s are around an hr, 90s between 1-1.5.

he seems to be on the taggier side, hadn't seen him do anything out of line as yet. running like 17/16 over a decent sample (80+ hands - non-turbo FTs last forever!)

i'd supersnapfold in a 45man but is the icm a big enough factor in 180s to fold as well? think it probs is but just want a check.

this seems really borderline and with those stack sizes late game i'd be inclined to fold marginal and wait for a better spot.

he needs to 3b really light here for us to call if i'm not mistaken. even with 22+, AJs+, AQo+ our equity isn't that great.

quick question about sngwiz-

i'm trying to work on my shoving ranges - what kind of edge do you use for general tournament play? obv. there is always some sort of bubble factor at every stage, so you shouldn't just make every marginally +cev jam (at least that's my understanding), what's a good rule of thumb to use?

do you change the edge based on positions of opener etc? how much should it change between 10 and 20bb?

don't really want to change it based on buyin etc, 'cause i don't want to have to adjust everything when i move up.
09-24-2011 , 11:59 PM
ive been told by smart folk to keep it at 0
09-25-2011 , 12:24 AM
Generally the deeper you are the bigger the edge... Personally I leave it at zero and "tax" myself if I think it's appropriate/necessary, I like to see what's mathematically profitable ignoring edge eitherway
09-25-2011 , 10:03 AM
cheers guys, that makes things simpler at least.

you still use 0 edge for calling ranges too?
09-25-2011 , 10:05 AM
$7/45 turbo FT, exact bubble.

how wide should we shove here?

Seems like a very easy shove here. 22+ A2s+ A9o K8s+ KTo+ Q9s+ QJo J9s+ JTo or something?
09-26-2011 , 10:45 AM
Since then I improved and agree - it's an easy shove. + I sucked at wiz back then. I'd add some connectors, suited gappers to that now.

ICM Spot. Villain is unknown, although has reggish stats (small sample) and has been shoving rather wide from LP. Notice UTG has 1bb. What's my calling range?

    Hmm if he is an unknown and we don't know much else then maybe like 66 a9o a8s kqs or maybe a bit wider
    if he is definitely a reg shoving atc then much wider, 30%+
    you can go tighter a little since in this example the icm doesn't account for the fact that MP is BB next hand (and very likely eliminated, so we'd lose a little more equity than sng wiz/icm etc calculates if we bust here)

    edit: for the 180 man hand

    so you call ATo? I thought pretty much along same line except a little tighter range. Felt ATo was pretty close.
    09-27-2011 , 10:21 PM
    yea close eitherway
    09-27-2011 , 10:38 PM
    FT bubble. he had been v active.

    that pay jump isn't enough to make this a fold, right?

    09-28-2011 , 03:04 AM
    No, not even close
    If this were 4 handed ITM it would even be ok to call since you're the shortest stack (although not by much) etc.
    His range will be like 80%+ here unless he knows both of you are regs, call and say f u scamma
