Default Re: Help with end game (final 4) of tournament

Hi jared, welcome to the forums.

You'll definitely want to read about ICM. If you can afford it, purchasing a tool like SNGPT will help you.

Other than that, it's impossible for us to help you when you make a post this vague. "What do I do at a 4 handed table?" - The answer is, every 4 handed table is different, and every hand you get dealt is a different situation.

A lot of things matter besides your hand and how many people are left. Some things you'll want to think about in EVERY hand are:
- your position
- your stack size
- stack sizes of other people, and their relative position to you
- reads
- there are a host of others.

Start by skimming the FAQ and the tools sticky. I believe in the FAQ there's an 'anatomy of a hand' section or something similar where it breaks down several things to consider in a hand.

A great way to improve your bubble play would be to follow this process.
1. Purchase SNGPT.
2. Review a tournament. Look at every hand you played once you're playing push / fold poker. Do your best to assign calling / pushing ranges to players. Think about all the different factors of why they should be loose or tight.
3. For any hands SNGPT can't handle (2 all-ins, etc), convert the hand and post it.
4. Read the replies.
5. Repeat.
