Is this shove very much -$EV if we think villain calls that wide?How tight would we need him to call?

supereasy shove and no ICM SPOT. he prolly calls with his Ax and KJ/KQ as well

JJ+ AK for me. too many shortstacks and he is not folding

1) std
2) i might fold here

Nobody ITT plays anything bigger than 10$ games?

I'll help out with some coaching if anyone is interested. I started with a 200$ br in february and I've run it up to about 16k while playing part time. I started with 2$ 180s and 1$ 45s and 90s and now I play $27-60 45mans and $7-36 180s, and tourneys from like $5-100. I've never done coaching before but from what I've read so far in this thread I can definitely help you guys improve your game. Feel free to PM me if interested and we can try to work something out.

My free piece of advice to you guys, don't be a nit!

Is this too nitty here? I might call the shove by either one of them, but I've got to feel like I'm behind here.
I'd suspect A10s+ AQo+ 1010+ is this reasonable (for them I mean)?

I'm probably getting it in here but if you have reads on the player then that would help. If he's been tight then you can fold, or you can try to stop and go. If hes been opening a reasonable amount of hands or is unknown then i would probably just shove over.

Maybe flatting pre would just be the best option here as you have position on the raiser and the first caller. Raising to around 1/5 to 1/4 of your stack and folding then is not good.

25/50 is in my opinion the hardest level to play because your not short enough for shove/fold but your too short to play a wide range of hands. And because of that, I would recommend actually being pretty nitty at this level. Also, the micro stakes sngs are harder to put a range on the hands that the higher levels so the utg+1 minraise and the MP flat can basically have a huge range of hands especially the guy who flats.

More importantly to this hand though... I pretty much never want to get AIPF with ajo until you get shorter. So to prevent you from getting in such an awkward situation theres 3 things you can do, one would be simply to fold and wait for a better opportunity, one would be to flat in position and see what the flop brings, and the other would be to 3bet a little bit smaller like 333 or 345 or 369 so that you don't commit yourself if they shove over, the problem with betting that amount is that if utg+1 calls then the guy in MP is getting good odds to flat again. So i think that actually folding or calling might be better than a 3bet here and I think that flatting is better than folding.

After the shove and call, I fold here, but the underlying problem is putting yourself in the situation.

1. more pre and i probably just jam over that stupid bet cause you have the nut draw and he's probably bad enough to fold.

2. i shove but i always feel super gross about these spots and it could be a leak of mine.

FINAL TABLE

If I give all three a 10% callingrange it´s a break even push.

Is that too tight? SB is reg and the other two donks.

^^ I think 10% is too tight, especially because the two shorties are in the blinds and one of them is a reg.

If your JT is suited, I'm definitely shoving.

2/180

utg2 is tag over 30 hands. no reads on CO

You didn't mention your sample size and ROI at any of those games.

Sure, running 200 dollars up to 16k is impressive, but what are your stats? How many games played? What's your ROI? What is your screenname/names? This is essential info.

At a final table. My image is LAG to these guys.

imho

8762+ ((.315x 70000)-(.685 x 60000)).35 = 8762+ (22000-41000) .35= +1k

since u cover 2 of the ppl left, and with 1 of the ppl u'll have like 35k left if u lose, this is a clear push.

I would filter for the last 120 days, thats pretty much the time that I've been playing a reasonable amount and after I got coached. So 15% roi at the 45's over 1200 games, 20% at the 180s over 2400 games and a 56% roi in a handful of tourneys in there too. And stars is pretty much the only site I play on.

Am I just asking to be put in an awkward spot (i.e. getting flatted by fish) by 3x'ing this here? ... Should I welcome that or just shove it in there?
