*** Official MTTSNG quick checkup thread *** - MTTSNG -- Two Plus Two Poker Forums

Need help on how to play a Push/fold spot? Curious about how to play a hand 15bb effective close to the bubble? Need some helpful resources on how to grind these? This is the thread for you!

(as this thread goes people will be easily able to see how to play a very wide range of hands, as long as they arnt lazy they will easily figure out how to crush at the very least up to the 2$ and 4$ 180's)

edit: thread moved from SSMTT

can someone remove the poll?

This hand is completely read dependent. If villain is a nit or loose passive (that is, limping here with weak hands when he should be raising), KJo is a snap-fold. If villain has any sort of clue, KJo is a good call.

In spots with minimal/no FE like this, just calculate your pot odds as if villain open shoved. You're risking 2,724 chips to win 3,499, or 1.3:1 odds. You need to think you'll win at least 43% of the time to correctly push.

You're a little too deep and blinds are too low to openshove this. I'd make a 2.5x raise and go from there. I'd plan on c-betting most flops.

I has questions...
How many tables do people usually play? What percentage of players use TableNinga, Pokertracker or other software, and helpfulness playing 180s? Tips on multi-tabling in general?

On Monday I'm gonna start donating to these games
