In Full Tilt's tournament guide, Andy Bloch has a chart (which he says Ferguson also came up with simultaneously and independently) showing what stack sizes should push or fold / call push in a SB v BB game. See p 98-99.
It is the same chart Chen and Ankenman published in Mathematics of Poker. See Jam or Fold tables at p. 136 After conversion, the numbers are different than the S-C numbers. (The Bloch/Chen numbers are expressed in Big Blinds, the S-C in small blinds minus 1 big blind). To convert the numbers, you either double Bloch's and subtract 1, or add 1 to S-C and halve it. Bloch says his table is more realistic than the S-C numbers. In the S-C game, the BB knows the SB's hand. In Bloch's game the BB does not have perfect information. Bloch says this is more like real poker. As a result, Bloch says suited connected semi-bluffing cards are devalued in the S-C perfect information game. Has this been discussed? Has David commented on Bloch's game or responded to Bloch's commentary? |
