push, call and overcall and you'll have to sort out the ranges on ur own or pay me about $1k to teach you.

I figured that out on my own but from the site:

Explanation:

* PU: Pushing Player. Applies when no other player entered the pot yet.
* CA: Calling Player. Player pushes after another player (PU) is already in the pot.
* OC: OverCalling Player. Player pushes after two other players (PU, CA) are already in the pot.

now I'm a little annoyed.

I dont understand any of it either Aces Kid but lets learn together here. From what i can gather your UTG with ...well it don't matter what you had you are just asking what you should have done in whatever situation. From what i can gather you are not CA but a PU? if so then its saying that you should chuck it all in with any of these hands or above-

99+ A2s+ A7o+ A5o-A2o K5s+ KTo+ Q9s+ QTo+ J9s+

the top 24.7% of hands you get. Man i wouldnt be playing much utg there myself. I reckon i would...rats its hard aint it? I would fold AJs. thats about as much as i know. It doesnt agree with your ICM data mind (i think)
