JJ+ AK imo

I think our range should be a little wider than that. My shoving range is AQ+ & 99+.

I think this depends alot on the read you have on BB. If you know he is a solid player and won't call down with a big range here this is a good shove. If not you can still fold since you are not in a bad spot yet chipwise.

Yeah, I think the 1.10's are a rip off. It is easier to make a profit on the 5.20's your win rate can be lower and there really is not much diferent in the games.

Yeah I could see calling if more then 1 other person calls. Even if the short stack is favored if 3 or 4 call it would reduce his odds to less then 50-50. Maybe less then 25%. If he wins and a number of people call he will have more chips then you and all the pressure is on you. So you need him out.

With 1 caller I would fold if wins he still has less then a 1000 chips and then you can pick a better hand to steal blinds or fold and let him act first.

Dammit, why did you just register on top of my 20 game set?! Had you in 16 of them, and I registered in blanks...

No suckout lol, but i felt if i don't make a play at this pot now i am digging
myself to much of a hole.

DOG.

Looks fine, hes the only stack you can really shove into.

Why do you have to open 20 game sets? It makes it difficult if we want to avoid the regulars and give everybody a better chance at the fish. I shouldn't have to wait for 20 tables to go before getting decent table selection.

Is it that hard to either:

a) take a leak and come back in 5 minutes to register in fresh sets
b) register in SNGs 21-41

Sometimes you cant avoid it.

I've waited for a reg's tables to load before taking a seat and as soon as they've finished another reg registers for another 20 tables.

btw i hate when reg's do that, register for 20-25 tables all at the same time and you have a huge list which probably scares away fish.

very good post Rainbow,makes you wonder if they really are worth while,seems to me the better option ob bankroll building would be to stick to stts.

At certain times of the day it takes at least a minute on average for each game to fill in the $20s at least. People won't wait nearly half an hour for you.

Hi

What Should I do here ?

->If I fold the SB can sometimes fold because he don't care, and the short get a walk. ( or the SB limp and the shortstack find a good flop and double up )

->If I push, the SB can call me, and the shortstack fold and its bad for me.

->Minraise is a bad idea because If SB push I will fold; and as the Blinds hit me first I will lose.

->I could limp, hope SB limp, and bet any flop.

What Is the best option ?

Shove it. The BB is very unlikely to have a hand nearly as good as yours and the SB will (should) fold most of the time.

In all likelyhood you'll get called by the BB with an inferior hand. This is a far more favorable result than giving the BB a walk and letting him practically double up and pull almost even with you for free.

If you get called by the SB and he has you crushed that's a cooler, and it sucks, but you have to risk it imo.

Ok, which one of you guys is 15-tabling Stars $1 DON with 23% ROI? You made me wait 15 minutes to start signing up for my measly 4 tables.

But I'm really mad at the guy who has nonstandard (not on standard US keyboard) characters in his name so I can't Sharkscope him and find out if he's a winning player or not (not every multitabler is good at it). So I have to play it safe and dodge that guy too.

a wtf river/checkraise spot. should i not be betting the river here?
