Depends a lot on BB. With 8BB you can generally open up much more than 10BB. If BB is playing honest and your image is clean, I would shove K8s+ or something like that.

Hand 1:
Depends on the players a lot, I'd probably shove readless.

Hand 2:
According to Wiz, call is +EV as long as he's shoving wider than 50%.

Hand 3:
Read this post for help HU. http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/18...ubukov-560408/
Nash has it as a shove and chubukov has it as a fold (althogh only by .25 SBs).

Yes way off

Look at chipEV and see what hands are decent pushes, then see what kind neg edge that equates too

Btw I start to consider ICM when we're like 2-3 from money usually, otherwise chipev ftw in most spots.

I am looking for 6max hyper turbo videos, no luck yet. Is it ok to watch turbo/regular sngs and learn something that way ? Also is it helpful to read Collin Moshmans book for sngs ?

yes and yes, imo. I don't think he covers 6max all that much though.

There arent many videos in 6 max sup turbo.I found 2-3 and i didnt see them yet.The edges in sup turbos are tiny thats why it is hard to get decent videos.The pros want to keep the edges for themselves

But reading it or any other kind of book/thread about sngs would give me rough idea to work further on my own game right ?

Not being funny, but is this "normal" variance? 50% $15, 50% $30 and also approx 50/50 6-man/9-man.

edit: forgot to add are all turbos (stars).

Sorry to break it to ya shimmy, but that isnt' even a big swing that is classified under the 'super standard' category. Even swings of up to 60-75 buyins are fairly common

I'm playing 18 man turbos, got about 1400 games at -2% ROI. I feel like I am running terribly but the only indicator is chip EV on the reports tab...

I will probably get 'keep playing' 'keep posting hands' but I would like some idea of how I am running...

Would 330k below EV say I am being unlucky? My winrate in BB is +ve as well but I just lose loads of all ins...

Hard to make out but it's -230k winnings, 100k EV adjusted and 2.7 bb/100

Fair enough, I'm largely a cash game player now and a few years since I played SNGs in any great volume - guess I'll have to get used to it. TY for reply, GL.

Wondering What the Average time it takes for a 9 Man Hyper SNG, from someone with a good sample size.
Searched the forums and interwebs cant find an answer.
9 Mins for a 6 max I hear
so I guess around 12?

Easy shove pre for 12bb effective stacks. As played you just created a difficult decision, since BBs overcall is likely AK+, QQ+. Im not that concerned about sb, hes a reg and he could be wide here. I think i wouldn't fold though since AQo is just a tad to strong in a 3 way pot. Also we do have enough stack to find out.

AK QQ seems like a pretty insane overcall range. Random semi fish is not folding TT AK AQs here, potentially throwin in some worse too.

Shoving pre seems like a pretty insane play, why would you want to force them to fold a bunch of reshove/fishflat hands

. ~Minraise is the only play there

Seems like a really close fold as played, I would call if suited. I would call if SB has a solid reshove game, but most regs are way too tight here and he's prob reppin a 15% range or w/e

If you would 2x/call for the reasons you just mentioned i would understand it.
But how can you argue, that we would fold out reshoves to which we fold anyway. Wouldn't it be better than just to shove ourselves? Interested what your 2x range at this point is. I personally think its hard to balance (if the reg knows your game).
I think you would be absolutely right to 2x if both are fish, which make the flat a majority of the time but otherwise fold alot to openshoves.

This doesn't make sense. We're only even considering folding cause 2 people shoved, we are always snap calling 1 guy. My shove range here is comprised of a tiny few hands I'm r/f or r/c most everything else

Interested what your 2x range at this point is. I personally think its hard to balance (if the reg knows your game)..
I'd say I'm raising like 35-40% here or more. Don't think it's very hard to balance such a spot at all, what troubles you with it?
