100/200/25

9 man STT Turbo Prizes 50% 30% 20%

Cutoff around 6,000
Button around 1,500
SB around 6,000
BB around 1,500

Hero is in the BB with AKo. Folded to the SB who shoves. Hero??

Villain is a reg that I keep seeing around and seems to not be terrible. So, he has to be shoving wide.

Also, any suggestions are free software where I could plug this information in and churn out a result?

Call. You even with the other shortstack. Had he had like 900/800 Its A fold. Given the circumstances of stacksizes and that villian is A reg. Call

That was my thought process as well. I called and villain showed 78s, caught an 8 and busted me. It felt nasty to bubble there and I wanted to make sure I wasn't being a patzer.

Do you have any suggestions for software to study this kind of thing? It seems like there was something back in the day called Poker wizard or something where I could plug in the stacks, my hand, shoving range of villain and prize ratios and it would churn out whether calling or folding gave a better ICM result.

Snap and it’s not even close, although I haven’t checked with ICMizer.

I’m question this. That T100 difference shouldn’t have such an impact, although the fact hat stacks are shorter makes doubling less valuable.

I like ICMizer, OP.

AKo is not a close call. Villain is supposed to be shoving any two, and it only becomes a fold when villain is shoving ~17% of hands or tighter.

I think I misunderstood mckrogh. If you meant we have 900 chips and the other shorty has 800, which is what I thought you meant at first, AKo is still a call by a wide margin.

If you meant the other shorty has about 800-900 chips and we still have 1500, AKo does become a fold. We should only call with {99+} in that case, possibly tighter if the SB is shoving tighter than he's supposed to.
