Hand #1 Id raise flop. But fine as played.

Hand #2 Call or fold pre depending on UTG. Id check/fold flop. You are basically setmining here.

I don't know whether preflop is a fold or not, against a good reg I suspect it would be, but here I felt that the button would play pretty straight forward. I'm normally a cash game player so this might be really trivial.

The 2 short stacks seemed like regs, but I felt they played overly nitty throughout the SNG. I don't know if the button was a reg or not, probably not given that 2.5x was his standard. He seemed to understand that he should be opening a lot in this spot, but given the nittyness of the short stacks I think I'd be opening every hand, which he definetely wasn't, which made me think he wouldn't put too much pressure on me postflop.

On the river I'm sure I should be folding, in cash games it might be close, but calling here has to be ICM suicide.

Fold pre.
ICM pressure as high as it may get, the least thing you wanna do is playing as medium stack oop against the bigstack with shorty around on the bubble. If he has some understanding, he can push you off a lot.
As played it depends, if he knows he can bluff a lot, he's probably betting the river with his entire non-spade range, so in this case I'd call but we shouldn't be in that spot in the first place.

Anyone good recommendations for Antivirus-Software? Free or fair price.

Free version of Avira Antivir is getting on my nerves with ads popping up more frequently and recently redirecting new tabs to some christmas offer without my approval, which is ridiculous.

From my own experience Id recommend Eset smart security, its like 75e/2yrs. I think thats more than fair price for the level of security you get. Check it out.

Avast is a good free option with ~0 ads (afaik it only gives you the upgrade ad once in awhile and only when you update the software, I can't even remember the last I saw one), avira is indeed over the top annoying with those ads. Other good options include AVG, BitDefender, and Comodo essentials. Last I checked all had no or very limited ads.

Paying for anti virus is meh. Unless you're a dumbass you shouldn't really be getting them anyway, defense is the best offense here. Running a free antivir alongside some combo of browser add block, Malware Antibytes, Super Antispyware, and Spybot S&D should really prevent you from getting anything bad at all on your computer

I play low stakes 50/fifty. But i saw that the turbo sngs you pay more rake and thus earn more vpp faster. But the thing is those games take longer than 50/fiftys.


Is my logic wrong that turbo sng are better b/c you pay more rake but then 50/fifty is actually better b/c you can put in more volume? Is there a common denominator of which is faster to say pay $100 in rake faster just as an example. Such as is it faster to play $7 turbo sng vs 7 dollar 50/fifty?


To make it simple say 12 tabling $7 50/fifty or $7 turbo sng and do it for 3 hours each. Which one would earn more vpp in that 3 hour span?

Hello everyone I'm interested in becoming a studying 6-max hyper turbos in 2014. I'm a Supernova on Stars after grinding 180s for 2013 and some $7 hypers with decent results. I want to perfect my preflop game(nash pushes/calls, bubble play) and hopefully tackle the $15 & $30 6max hypers. I am looking for advice on where to get started, I've looked at some video packs but they seem too expensive and more focused on postflop then I would like. If anybody out there has had good results at these games and can coach for a fair price I would also be interested. Thanks guys.

Is this call good? The opponent is pretty tight, like 25-30% of his hands, so I could only put him on Ax, some Kx, maybe something like QJs and some air.

I don't play 6m, but I guess this must be some -5% call or worse which should rank it pretty high in the "worst call 2014" leaderboard
Openlimping pre probably isn't good either, I'd 2x if they're not shoving all that wide.

You'd profit most from reading some posts about ICM and getting used to icm calculation software

Do you have any offers on free ICM software? Because my roll isn't screaming "use me for software" at the current moment.

Don't know which are free and to what extent you can use them without paying cause I consider buying all of them a good investment. Google will certainly help.

Yea definite fold. I think there is a free trial for the holdemresources calculator and would highly suggest to look at purchasing it

+1, that tool looks neat. Also has a free Nash Calculator on their site.

Also, SNGWizard has 1 month trial. SNGPowertool should have some kind of free trial too. www.icmizer.com has 3 free hands/day.

Hi all,

Can you recommend a good video series for someone new to 6max hypers? I am a winning hyper husng player (using video packs to improve) and have played plenty of 6max cash and want to get into playing these.

Thanks

So, I have little sng experience. Been a cash game player for the last few years. Just got into 6max hypers recently. Is shoving any 2 here good? Just inquiring on what exactly to do here.

What are some interesting/ frequently updated blogs by SNG grinders out there? I'm interested in frequent updates and interesting content, not necessarily whoever the "best" players are.

PG&C is like a blog for many guys

Hi everyone, I have a question:

I'm playing 6 max hyper turbos, using PokerTracker 4.

Wich "line" I should care to know if I'm adopting a winning gamestyle?

"C Net Adjusted" line or "Net Expected Chips Won (#) ???

I'm asking this becouse the first is growing upwards, the second one is strongly going down.

C Net Adjusted. You need quite a big sample for those games, like more than 10k probably.

Thank you.

Another question:


- Where the edge should be?

I mean, to win you must be good reading opponent's ranges.

But in that case it's hard to have good reads since the played hands are not so much.

So it's all about having luck to push higher Ax and being lucky to do not find opponent's top ranges?

(Forgot to say, I'm playing 6max hyper turbos sats, with almost no postflop plays, 10 bb games)

I don't play those, so can't offer much help. Maybe someone else will. No doubt the obtainable edge is small.

Depends on villain, if he has some grasp of ICM (or doesn't but is tight anyway), shoving 100% can't be bad, though inducing with top of range is probably better. Just need to plug the numbers in an ICM calc and see where 32o breaks even, gl.

hey guys, i am a small stakes 6max NL regular on Stars, have been playing 235FPP buyin 10bb with ante 6max Turbo sats to sell my T$ bc i am unsure if i will play enough volume on Stars this year to reach SN (play a few other sites) - have downloaded some push/fold charts off the interweb but i still am unsure on my calling ranges in general - have CR EV'd a few interesting spots i came across but i am looking to find info on calling ranges and/or a sweat a session of either me playing or someone who regs these games playing, also any vid links on these would be appreciated - please let me know if that possible at all thx

edit: also this hand would maybe be an ok starting point, please let kme know on your thoughts of folding / calling in a vacuum vs two unknowns thx
