This was a bounty hunter in the money last 26, I was about 22nd.

The 500/1000 level has also just started.

With the format is this an auto shove or too risky ?

    Think it's a fold, you can wait one more orbit IMO.

    Either/or for the reasons you know.

    Depends simply on what we think of BB

    To shove past 1 oppo you only need about 5 blinds, then increase it by the BB for each person. i.e shove the button then 6 blind, shove the cut-off 7 blinds. You have plenty of time

    What range of hands do you think the bb calls your shove with?

    How big is the bounty on your head? How likely will he be paying attention to the bounty as an extra incentive to call.


    Answer those questions and you can work out whether shoving pretty much any two is +ev or not.

    I've got a question here related to this.

    Most people here are saying fold, and yet I posted my exit hand in Thews @ Ten the other night and everyone said it was just standard. Both hands were SB v BB, both situations we had 12BB, both at similar stages of the tourney.

    Obviously the main difference was I had KJoff and Dude has 72s but (the point I made in my thread), if I ever get my KJ shove called, I'm always gonna behind, and am likely to be dominated alot of the time. The only upside I see to my hand is that I have 2 overs to smaller pairs. But Dude is much more likely to be live (obviously in trouble against a PP over 7s).

    So my question was, I'm not shoving for value as I never figure to be ahead and clearly Dude wouldn't be shoving for value, so why is mine standard and his a fold?

    Compare the equity of 72 vs KJ when your opponent calls ai.

    It comes down to what your goal is.  Are we playing poker?  Or waiting to find a hand with 12bbs?

    Why wouldnt we want to get through one opponent to pick up the 1500 in there when we only have 11bbs to begin with (11400).

    We are making a calculated risk.  Sigh... Beaheh sets out the technical terminology so I wont.  We  considor the range of hands that call us & what we perceive BB thinks of our shove in relation to those hands.  But he has to have a hand to begin with. 

    Need to get used to being aggro in these spots ATC outcome regardless.  We can factor in a lot of issues,

    Am not saying auto ship ATC (although personally my range is going to be super wide, unless bb is mahoosive station.), - as said initially - depends on what we think of BB.  But ultimately we are going to be needing to get it in real soon, plenty of arguments to say here is plenty fine

    I'm not disputing that you should get it in here, just the differing opinions between my situation and Dude's. As I said, KJ is clearly a better hand than 72, but once I'm called with KJ, I'm either gonna be miles behind to a big PP, flipping with a smaller PP, 40/60 with things like AQ, or completely dominated by hands like AK, AJ. The only hands I can possibly hope to get called by which I'm happy about are QJ and even then I struggle to see alot of players calling off 90% of his stack with QJ.

    72 is in trouble against most pairs, especially those bigger than 7s, but is 40/60 against the rest of his range (short of possibly A7 and A2).

    Really my only point is that when I get called with KJ, I'm virtually always in trouble, but it's still +EV because of all the folds I'll get, so surely 72s is also +EV for this reason, so I'm questioning the differing responses.

    (I wasn't shoving KJ for value)

    Haven't seen many hands with this guy and it's just after a break so have forgot loads a bit.

    If it was before bubble I'd imagine he'd be calling pretty tight as most hang on for min-cash, now that everyone's cashed plus he covers me comfortably it's probably most pairs 44+, Aces from say A5+ maybe just all aces, K8+ again maybe lower, Q10+. 

    Also I've been playing quite tight for the most part certainly not playing lots of hands so have a tight image, not sure if he picks that up though but it's summit lol.

    Against the range I mention here I'm not good but I also fold out loads others I beat so surely shoving becomes more +EV plus the fact it's just one guy to get through.

    KJ has significantly better equity v calling ranges than 72. Also 72 is worse than 40/60 v 2 overs

    Also fwiw what general range is an auto shove here against an average player readless?

    If I was this opponent and you shoved 12.5BB into my 28.5BB, I'd need a near-premium hand to call. I'd be happy to fold anything below AT or 77. I think most average players would have a tightish range too.

    I think you can make a decent argument for either a shove or a fold to be honest. You can wait a few hands if you like but in my opinion we have an opportunity here. I wouldn't want to miss it.

    EDIT: Read dependent, of course. Too often I've done this into a station who snap calls me with J4. lol

    oppo probs call with 22+,A2s+,KTs+,QTs+,JTs,A2o+,KTo+,QTo+,JTo - like 28% w/72s




    So we assume oppo fold 40% of the time (28.8% fold equity) ?
    if so then we have 56.8% total equity, so the shove is fine I think

    agree/disagree - discuss


    My figures may be off, not done it for a while :)

    disclaimer: I may be totally off the mark here )

    I can't imagine that an average player is ever calling off 40% of their stack with 22 or JT. I think that massively overestimates their calling range. Maybe I'm wrong... but I'm not. ;)

    What do you think calling range is ?

    dis TT+,AQs+,AQo+

    whats our equity versus this range

    and surely this decreases the percentage we are called, so we get folds 80% of the time ?

    Well, as I say, my calling range is pretty tight in this spot. I want to be making bets and 3-bets, not calling off. I'd think that the average player would have a slightly wider calling range than me, but not worse than 66 or KT/KJ...

    If oppo has a tighter calling range then surely we get folds more often than if oppo has a wider calling range so therfore ie. makes playing for folds - all ok !

    We only want folds more often

    Borin I think your suggested calling range is wayyyyyy too tight. 

    I'm surprised because you play alot HU? You must be clued up on shallow call/shoving ranges?

    Fold 77? really?

    To op I would shove wide here, but not any 2 yet. Foldit. 

    Any pair, Ace, suited Kings, some other broadways and high suited hands etc.
