I don't know if I played these hands too passively. The Hand 1 and Hand 2 occured in succession and with the same villian. He was running 17/8. I don't know if I should have pushed any of them.

imo the first two are shoves (2nd a bit closer than first) and the 3rd is a fold. First two you have f/e and can get called by worse and 3rd one even though your M is small you're utg and crushed a lot. I'm interested to see what actual MTT ppl think.

Yeah I think its pretty hard to make a good argument for folding 1 and 2. 3 is a fold, there are better spots for a 15bb stack.

what they said ^^

You often won't have much of an advantage if called in hands 1-2, but you'll sometimes get villain to fold preflop and increase your stack by 30% !!

99 is 54% vs a really tight range of 88+ AJo+ KQ

AQs is 50% vs the same range

equity win tie pots won pots tied
Hand 0: 55.046% 54.35% 00.70% 541597704 6972426.00 { 88+, ATs+, KJs+, AJo+ }
Hand 1: 44.954% 44.25% 00.70% 441018372 6972426.00 { 99

Looks like 99 is not a favourtie. But does the fold equity make up for it? It seems like he is never folding TT+, folding weak part of his range.

i think f/e DEF makes up for it because of how much shipping that pot PF does for your stack. The 99 shoves seems the easiest of the three because there are more combos of AK/AQ etc.. (though I guess there are more combos of 10s, jj, qq etc but whatever shove!) But yeah also in the AQ hand the guy is punishing a limper which generally means his range is a bit tighter whereas 99 is an open raise so more often air.

I'm not crazy about the range you set; ATs and KJs should not be calling here. But hey, it's a 1.1 tourney so anything's possible.

Hand 3 is a quick fold UTG

Aren't we pushing 1 and 2 regardless of the stakes we are playing and of excluding ATs and KJs?

How would you guys play these hands against a player running let's say 10/4? I don't know everyone thought about the stats because nobody mentioned about it.

1: Yes, I would think so anyway. Excluding ATs and KJs just makes our decision easier, and it is a fair assumption.

2: I'd be concerned about sample size first and foremost. Even if it was large enough, he could be getting desperate or just trying to capitalize on his tight image. Either way I think he is folding back often enough to justify our move.

Drmcboy or someone better than I should clarify imo Smile

I think the type of player matters more than the stakes. Vs a 10/4 I would almost always fold the AQ situation if its over a decent # of hands. The 99 situation is just an open so this can be a little bit of a wider range. Plus you would have FE against that type of player so I think a shove would be fine.
