$11 Bubble - What are your pushing standards here?
Party Poker
No Limit holdem Tournament Blinds: t150/t300 4 players Converter Stack sizes: UTG: t1105 Button: t2122 Hero: t1279 BB: t3494 Pre-flop: (4 players) Hero is SB with 7[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] Q[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 2 folds, <font color="#cc3333">Hero is all-in t1279 <font color="black"> Just curious.. I'm pretty sure my push is -EV given that it's into the big stack. Sometimes I get carried away at this stage. In general, what would the minimum hand be to make this play given that it's folded to you in SB? Thanks in advance. </font> |

I'd want something like Q8s, J9s, something where I have some additional suckout vig. Whatever that works out to be, top 30% of hands or something like that. |

Re: $11 Bubble - What are your pushing standards here?
I'm just figuring out how to use SNGPT so so I tried your hand for practice.
There's no setting for 800 chip buy ins so I adjusted the blind to 200/400. The calling range to give your push positive EV seems to be somewhere between the top 40% and the top 50% of hands. If the big blind will only call with the top 30%, then the EV is certainly positive. That's assuming I'm using sngpt correctly but I think I am. |

Eh? No, don't adjust the chips, that is nonsense. Why do that? You're definitely not using SNGPT right if you're doing that.

Re: $11 Bubble - What are your pushing standards here?
Maybe my reasoning was wrong. I was thinking that sngpt assumed everyone started with 1000 chips. That was probably pretty dumb since I told it how many chips everyone had...
I'll go back and try again. Thank you for the correction. |

Re: $11 Bubble - What are your pushing standards here?
No, it doesn't assume anything like that. It adds up whatever chips you put in. What chips you start with doesn't even matter to the equation anyway.

OK, with the right blinds in there it looks like the calling range would have to be 30% or lower.

Sounds about right. I think he calls more than that if he's your usual donky big stack at the $11s, which is the problem.

Thanks. This type of thing generally happens when I try to think for myself. I usually just do as I'm told but my wife is out of town.

Re: $11 Bubble - What are your pushing standards here?
I just bought SNGPT for the hell of it. Should be great for running these numbers. Thanks for the input everyone. Turns out I was dominated when called hehe (A7). Maybe next time I won't pull these moves on big stack table captain.
