If I know that the other short stack is a complete spewtard, then I'll probably adjust my shoving range b/c it's just a matter of time before he gets called. If it seems like he's also playing the waiting game, you have to make your move sometime imo. The way I look at it is that you can stick it out with the other shorty, hopefully to win 20% of the money, or you can try to pick good spots and exploit the bubble, hopefully to win 50% of the money.

6 max SNG on the bubble.

Blinds 75/150

BB: t1500
BTN: t1500
Hero (SB): t6000

Pre Flop: (t225) Hero is SB with Q

1 fold, Hero raises to t1675

Say I want to abuse the 2 smaller stack, the BB decides to put an end to this and start spite calling me with 40% of his hands (a mistake on his part), is he hurting himself and helping the BTN? What is the net result to me if he I am shoving 80% (which SNGwiz says is wrong)? Is the benefits as following: BTN>BB>SB?

Is there any simple way to get these numbers, or will I have to create a spreadsheet and use an ICM calculator?

Def gonna need an ICM calc, to just get the ordering should be inuitive though. The actual numbers you are going to have to do some legwork/maths.

I wasn't sure if there was some way SNGwiz would churn these numbers out. Think I should be able to get them without much fuss.

Thanks

Using HEM filters as following:

Stack size < 25bbs
Position CO,BTN,SB
Unopened pot
Faced pre-flop 3-bet = false

16449 hands

Stack size < 25bbs
Position CO,BTN,SB
Unopened pot
Faced pre-flop 3-bet = true

485 hands

It suggests I'm only getting 3-bet around 2.8% of the time, is this correct?

if u are very very good this is sorta sustainable, although a 150 games sample will tell you absolutely nothing, once u put in a few thousand or so of these you will get a much better idea and yeah 16 tablings ure roi should drop as apposed to say 4 table tiling , however its about finding the balance between your roi and your hourly rate

Is there an IRC channel or Skype group or something for STTers (small stakes) from here where stuff can be discussed in real time?

Hi, I am going to move from 9-man sng's to 45-man sng's for a while at least. What ROI is sustainable at low stakes? And how many BI bankroll do you need? Also I remember seeing a long thread about adjustments from 9-man to 45-man from a player that was making the same move not long ago, but now I can't find the thread so if anyone knows, a link would be nice.

searching for 'skype' in this forum gave this as the 3rd result:
STTF skype group

And another search for IRC gave me this:
STT IRC Chat

Anyone have any recommendations for Super Turbo Vids on CR or DC. What is an attainable ROI at the $5.50s?

Should I make any strategy adjustment when playing the non-turbo 18s727s on Full Tilt comparing to their turbo counterparts? I think in a nutshell it is playing very tight early and push/fold late, too. Or am I wrong here?

Thx

Stack off a little tighter the first couple levels since you'll be able to win more chips postflop than in the turbos (assuming that you're better than the field) Other than that I think you should just play each level pretty similar to how youd play it in a turbo.

Thanks for the Skype and IRC links!

Another Q>

In HEM, I am running at 14% ROI, albeit only after 180 games, but if I click the EV adjusted button the thing tells me I am at -2% ROI. The red line confirms this as its below $0. I checked the FAQ section for HEM but I am not sure I get it.

Basically, does this mean I am running hot and that I am really losing money instead of winning?

Thanks.

Why does HEM say that this is -$EV situation?

BTN shoves wide here.

Grabbed by Holdem Manager
NL Holdem $400(BB) Replayer
Hero ($2,020)
BB ($6,520)
CO ($3,520)
BTN ($1,440)

Dealt to Hero 9

fold, BTN raises to $1,440 (AI), Hero raises to $2,020 (AI), fold

New to sngs here. Im in need of some software/scripts. I basically just need something that closes tourneys when they finish. Also the tournament lobbys annoy the hell out outta me, I dont know if there is a script which can auto register when I open a lobby and make it close when the game starts? Those scripts would be very helpful.

also lets take the $5 level for example. What would be a "decent" roi%, itm% and win%.

thanks.

Well, you can't draw any conclusions from 180 games. Search for the HEM Redline thread.
The redline indicates that you ran hot over those 180 games when you (or others) were allin.

Also is min raising standard play when the blinds are getting high? A lot of the time Ill have a hand that seems good enough to play but it just feels like too much of your stack to raise 3bb. Maybe when you are say 12 - 15bb deep and you have KTo or 77 in the CO, how much would you raise to?

well, it depends on which hand you were up against.
The $EV Diff column just gives you the difference between what you HAVE won and what you SHOULD HAVE won.

e.g. in your case you won 1166 chips and $16.29 (equity) MORE than you should have. If i had to guess i'd say you had something like 60% equity?

you'll always win more than you should if you win tho (unless villain gets it in drawing dead).
