The Tournament Trimmer (v1.1.4w) was developed by JeffreyGB at http://www.FlopTurnRiver.com.

I think you take the term pushing wide to too much of an extreme. I dont like hand 8 at all.

Hand 7 was fine and hand 9 was good.

well the table had been playing really tight and against their stack sizes i thought this my be my last chance for any FE.

when do you push ATC? I'm on a 5x stack w/2.4m.
and yes i mean atc 32o type cards.

Hmm, ran it through SnGPT and ICM disagrees with me. As long as we have them calling with: 22+,A2+,KT+,QJ or tighter, then its a good push.

Out of interest, if you take the ante's out its a bad push at any but a REALLY tight range.

I found the same thing when i ran it through sngpt..

its sooo close depending on their range it could go either way, which is why it comes down to..

do i have folding equity?
everyone is playing tight except for 1 guy who had already folded.

I think i might break this hand out and post it separately.

Hand 5 is read dependent on whether the blinds are tight or loose. Unless they are pretty loose I usually shove this.

Hand 7 - minor point but I'd reshove rather than just calling

Hand 8 - again this one is read dependent, I usually tend to fold this but it could be a leak of mine. If opps call tight (say 44+, A7+, KJ+) this is a solidly +EV push.

Hand 9 - obv fine.
