What is your default in this spot? Flat right?

Sorry thought this was like a quick check up thread, guess it's only for shoves...

yes, flat. However if villain bets 1/2 - 2/3 pot here I just fold.

because the wizard says so?

shoveee

shove unless you're really bad

shove way worse for both

so much hellmuth style advice ITT... these are not arbitrary decisions... or at least when you're shoving it's hardly arbitrary... people are saying "fold if you're not comfortable", "fold in a $2 game" or "fold unless they're donks" or whatever far too frequently when speaking of what is a pretty much solved game. more questions about what to call with in spots would be more worthwhile because it makes you think about how much equity your hand has versus different ranges and is actually a bit interesting. fwiw i believe most of you are probably calling too wayyyyyy too tight and it's definitely correct because people are so horribly tight, but most would be suprised at how loose they should actually call versus looser/good villains.

"crying fold" that but it's probably not close and an easy fold... that spot actually sucks with QQ but i wouldn't be capable of folding QQ in a small buyin or rush tournament... i think this is one of those spots where it's so marginal (and so early on) that you should be folding it because your edge is large enough to pass it up

#1 is a shove? i'd fold. either way saying it's a shove and not mentioning any math is just arrogant seeming. cmon you can set a good precedent for your first stickied thread with some math instead of encouraging all these awful personalities to come out and boast about how easy of a shove that is, or whatever. big LOL at the egos ITT i bet you all talk a lot of **** while playing too (like me!)... having a big ego about this **** is so repulsive... it is no real suprise that a game that's easy as **** has fathered a bunch of thousandaire ****head kids as scummy as the average 21 year old live 1/2 grinder who think they're the ****... protential i'm not aiming this at you at all, just got caught up reading this thread for too long and given the chance to bitch at a bunch of arrogant SNG players in an elongated form i'm going to take it. please keep repeating your mistakes and berating the fish everyone, you awesome poker guize.

The opponents are tight and passive. What range do you shove?

Second hand of 18 man Sit n Go 0 read on villain... was line too passive PF, F & T and do you call all in on river?

It's early, make it a full 4x pre, even 5x.

Flop looks OK, proportionately.

Turn is too small for the draws on board, either bet bigger or check behind for pot control.

River is pretty meh, this being the first time he's bet I alternate either swear/call or swear/fold, pretty sure swear/fold is correct.

You like 3x + 1/limper preflop? What's your proffered bet on the turn?

Really struggling with walking the line between killing action and pricing people in

565/call on turn.

as played fold river. check/call, check/call, shove is usually the nuts at this level.

ATC or close to ATC i think

Checking up on a few ranges.

What range do you think BB calls here if I shove ATC if a) bb is a random b) bb is a decent reg and knows I shove light.

yeah i know what ya mean, but i think you should not worry to much about pricing someone in most of the time, unless its something like a river value bet and your betting an amount to be called by some of villians range.

just bet big and give villian a chance to make some mistakes

Preflop you can make it even more than 4x-5x.
I often make it 7x 8x and get a lot of calls.
With weaker holdings i dont bet that much. This is very exploitable, but no worry they wont recognize.

I'd push on the turn. All-in can look weak and maybe you're called by top or midpair. Of course, if he calls with any draw you've done well to get all the chips in when way ahead. As played, fold river–*you really can't beat anything but a bluff and you don't have any read on villain to justify a call.

a) prolly not much wider than A5s+ A8o+ KJ/pairs, maybe you fold even 22-55 cause he does not want to flip.
b) pairs, J9s+ JTo+ Ax K7o+ K5s+ or something like that if you shove ATC.

Need some advice on 3.40$/18m early-game/mid-game on Stars!
