I agree with the fold just because we have a really short player that have just a blind
Well I put the hand in the sng wiz and without make any range adjust (on the BB) it would be a fold (the push range would be 99+ AQ+ AJs+), also wiz assumes that the villain range to call is pretty wide (17%) for a bubble situation, considerating my stack.
Which i think is really closer to the villain real range. So I agree that it should be a fold.

BB never calls that wide and you don't actually get any prizes for being nitty.

I decided to call here because sb is regular and i know he will be very wide.According to nash suprisingly this is a fold.According to wizard even if he is in 100% range this is a fold

I would like to hear any thoughts here

Seems like a standard fold and probably JJ+ (ish)

KJs is definitely a fold, might be calling AQ sometimes

Hero?? The villain was a 24/17(over a small sample).. I would like to know if u guys think the shove here still profitable, knowing that he gonna call me many times here after he raises and also assuming that he's range to raise from the UTG is not so wide.
thx all!

Quick question regarding attainable roi in the 1.5 $ turbos.

Currently I am mixing 6man 9man/knockout and running at 17% roi over 500 games. I assume this is just me running good but what is a normal attainable roi for a solid player at this level?

villain is 26/12, not really super loose but pretty passive

what is your play on the river?

C/f unless he bets really small or something. This run out is too nasty so I would just c/f versus any reasonable bet. He will be scared of the 4 straight and checkback pretty much everything. The board is too bad, as many TP/2ndP hands have gotten there. It is not really a balanced line, but you will not get exploited here often imo. We maybe lose value against a half dozen hands, so its not like we are really even giving up much value. I'd guess we are very close to 50/50 versus his calling range, even though its pretty hard for him to have a set.

I would bet rather small and hope he rivered two pair / heros random pair. Just check/mostly folding isn't a bad line tho imo

Spoiler:

This was a 9 max SNG.

To be honest I'm pretty clueless when it comes to bubble situations, I usually just play to try and win.
I'm not sure what the right play is here. All the other 3 players were regs.

There was 550 in the pot pre.
Would appreciate some advice here.

I just played a bunch of 6 max hypers on stars and realized I don't see an EV line (red line) in my graphs in Hold em manager. Is there a reason this is not showing up?

I think betting bigger on the flop is preferable so you can get more value, by only betting half pot you lose a lot of value from FD/Qx/6x hands that villains like to call with on this level.

without further reads/stats and if SB and BB folded I would recommend raising/shipping and stacking off here. I think you are very much ahead of villains line especially if its just a random at the 1.5 $ level.

Btw WeeDan121 I have played with you some on Ps

Well here I think that he would do this just with something way better than my TP or maaaybe in a FD(but generally when have a FD they just call and a few times makes a big reraise)..

BTW What is ur nick on PS?

thank you for the comment!!

I am no expert but I think he has AJ/AT/FD maybe some straight draw + second pair enough off the time to make raising and stacking a little profitable, however I guess you can fold too since its pretty early in the tournament and you can find better spots later on.

nicking Vaseline27 on PS. are you grinding the normal 9 man turbos?

HEM doesnt show ev in hypers correctly? You found gold. I found there is no correct red line for 18 mans
