What range to open shove late in SnG?

[bluedevil907]

I played two PS $3.40Ts a little while ago, both of which were INSANELY tight passive tables.

If it's 5-handed, and everyone has an M<10, all with calling ranges something like KJ+, AJ+, 77+, KJs+, ATs+, what % of hands are you open shoving from UTG, CO and BU with? I personally pushed about 20%, 70%, and 90% respectively. Eventually became the big stack on both and took it to 2nd place on each.

Just curious what PT/WIZ will say.

I couldn't get your exact range into SNGwiz, but assuming blinds are at 150/300/25, all players have 2700 in chips, and calling ranges of 44+, KQs+, A8s+, AT+ then hero should be pusing with the following (assuming all prior positions fold):

UTG - 88+, AQ+, AJs+
CO - 66+, AT+
BU - 22+, A2+, K4+, K2s+ Q5+, Q2s+, J7+, J4s+, T7+, T6s+, 98+, 96s+ 87s+ (this is 59.9% of hands)

You are pushing too wide from CO and BU

Wow, much tighter range than I anticipated. I really need to get Wiz to put in the different stack sizes and see how it changes as the chips moved around, as I imagine that would make a big difference on what to push. Thanks for running the general scenario, though.

glad I could help and yes SNGWiz is awesome. You can load an entire tourney in and then drill down into specific hands that you wondered about to see how you should have played them.
