Full Tilt 11+1 Turbo -> 2 hands for analysis

[die_rich88]

Hand #1:

Read: villan is your standard tight-agg player but pushbot when shorthanded. Villan has been pushing quite often, especially from the button (roughly 3 or 4 out of the last 6 times he was in button position).

I have a decent/mid stack. Do I call?

Hand #2

Push??
BB is somewhat loose (VP$IP% roughly 30-35%).

[Q..]

Can't call first, you are more tight caller on bubble then A9o even given the history.

Second is good i guess, bb will strike you soon, and there wont be better spots.

[die_rich88]

For Hand #1 - if A9 is a no call. What range would you call with? would you call with pairs 66+? what about A10, AJ?

[RexWoo]

I like the call on the first and don't like the push on the second but really I can be wrong and SNGPT / SNG WIZ or their friends would give you much more accurate answers.

[Knightsridge]

I fold Number 1

I push number 2

[RexWoo]

ok I sngwized them

1st he needs to push 30% + which goes down to JTs, K8 ... so it's probably close and depends on reads.

2nd I was wrong and looks like a good push vs any reasonable range.

[AMT]

the 1st one is an easy call and the 2nd one an easy shove, IMO.

AMT : what I thought but it's not (see above)

[Ruy Lopez]

I shove the 2nd, fold the 1st.
SNGWiz on the 1st:
If villain is shoving 35+, calling range is 11.8.
55+, A9+, A7s+, KJs+
If villain is shoving 30, calling range is 10.9.
55+, A9+, A8s+
If villain is shoving 20+, calling range is 8.
66+, AJ+, A10s+

So it's very close with A8, it becomes a call at about 37%. Don't think I'd want to stack off with A8 quite yet with those two ~2000ish stacks.
