Default Re: Sit \'n Go Strategy study group -- Part 2: Mid Blind Play

In Full Tilt Poker Strategy guide page 98-99 Andy Bloch has a table with hand rankings which differ from the S-C-numbers. The table is used for determining where its profitable to shove from SB and when one should call in BB. Its called the jam or fold game - limiting the actions to either jamming or folding.

They are for tournament play and also for when the opponent don't know the others hands. Notice that the hands are given with a stack size when its profitable to play them -it says at which stack size should one jam or fold for it to be optimal play for a given hand.

The number of big blinds to shove in SB and call in BB are:
Hand SB BB
QTs 103 22
22 52 15
A2s 48 24
A7o 40 29

Notice how its much more profitable to shove with a certain hand than to call - thats the gap concept in play. Also notice how A2s are stronger than A7o because A2 is easier to get a straight or flush and even if a 7 is higher than a 2 both kickers are so low that often neither of them play.
