    Default $6.50 what do you shove back

    UTG likes paint and won't fold anything he limps.

    WHat hands do you shove over?

    PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $6.00+$0.50 Tournament, 75/150 Blinds (8 handed) - Poker-Stars Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com

    UTG+1 (t1945)
    MP1 (t1540)
    MP2 (t2500)
    CO (t1360)
    Hero (Button) (t1175)
    SB (t1695)
    BB (t1525)
    UTG (t1760)

    Hero's M: 5.22

    Preflop: Hero is Button with something in between 15 aces and a domino and an uno card.
    UTG calls t150, 4 folds, Hero raises to t1175 (All-In),

    Without seeing any posts about running it through the software yet, I will take my stab at it. This is a situation that I find myself in a lot with the number of players and my stack compared to the blinds. I might be too loose here, but if I KNOW I am going to het called, I shove 99+, AK+, AQs+.

    I am curious to see other responses. I feel this spot happens a lot and might find a big hole in my game here.

    Too loose? Too tight!

    I'm shoving wide here. Just basically tossing junk.

    Having some (even a little) fold equity here is a really important contributor to our equity if we shove.

    Anyway, I ran this in SNG Wiz and assuming that he limps about 38% (any PP, any ace, K2s+, K4o+, Q7s+, Q9o+, J9s+ and JTo) and never folds anything he does limp to a shove BUT excluding the top 3% of hands (JJ+, AK+) and assuming that SB and BB call a shove with 8% (66+, AT+) then we should be shoving 55+, A9o+, A8s+ and KJs+ in this spot. In practice I have a bit of a hard time believing that he limps that wide so in a game I probably shove 66/77+, AT/AJ+ or something like that.

    Limping K4o is a bit extreme.

    How wide you shoving gmml? Give us a range (also I already miss your old avatar )

    When I looked at this, I assumed liking paint meant matching (J10 through AK). If all he needs is a single face card, then I would be a nit with that shoving range.

    I didn't see the utg limp yo... probably 55+, JTs+, QJo+, A9+.
