Default Re: Trouble with SNGWizard, getting frustrated

1. You have almost 8 big blinds, so you are not desperate. Stealing the blinds does not increase your equity significantly.
2. You are pushing into 3 opponents. There is a significant chance you will get called.
3. Opponent stacks are almost equal so losing a showdown is a disaster.
4. Folding actually increases your equity due to the chance that somebody else will get eliminated.

Taking all these factors into account, I think you have to play pretty tight here. That said, pushing 99 is +$EV. The Wizard recommends a fold because it is slightly less than the default edge.

Meh, pushing 99 here is really standard for me and several other players who all do very well, all of whom are easily pushing wider than this as well.


There are a number of other spots similar to this on the bubble where it suggests a fold that are standard pushes for me.

Anyways, it just frustrated me that there are spots that have always been been very standard pushes for me and every other reg I know that SNGWiz is telling us to fold. Wasn't trying to bash the product or anything, I think overall it's pretty awesome.
