FTturbo 6.50 bubble 99
I don't have the hand history but blinds were about 250/500, 4 handed and these were the approximate chipstacks
UTG Chipleader had about 5450 Button had about 2850 I had about 3200 Shortstack had 1350 i post 250 SB,shortstack post 500 in the big blind. UTG folds, button pushes all in. He's been real solid player even though the blinds are this high I know chances are it probably is a steal. I have 99 and at the last moment tried to click call but my time expired. I saw it like if he had 2 overs, it would be 50/50 but how good is 99 against the buttons hand? Noramally i call real fast but this player never seemed to push with anything worst than 2 overs in the whole sng. I did not like see myself coming in 3rd with this hand because shortstack would probably be out next hand. Was my fold really that bad? |

Not really, if you play sng for living, it is a good fold, your goal is to make money not finish 1st

Re: FTturbo 6.50 bubble 99
The fold is right given your read on the person. If they are tight and pnly pushing overs making you at best a 50/50 then I think you did right thing. If button is loose then it would be a call but given your comments I think fold is fine.

Re: FTturbo 6.50 bubble 99
Well i was thinking that there is of course a possibility he has an overpair but there is very little chance. chances of smaller pair is a little bit more. Most likely its a hand like A10 or something and I will have to flip a coin and I am currently 2nd place now with not that much room to spare.
Given the chip stacks and action, I would have Called if i had 1010+ and AQ+ but folded 99. Is my thinking okay? I do not use those Sng tools that most players do. I just look at the situation and think whats my best option. comments? |

Re: FTturbo 6.50 bubble 99
acording to SNG power tools this is only a call if he is pushing every Kx, Ax,Qx,J8+, every pair, and a few other such hands. So defintely +EV fold. good job. Basically call range in this spot is extremely tight JJ+, and maybe AK depending how tight he really is.

Re: FTturbo 6.50 bubble 99
thanks. I'm really surprised you people say this was a good fold or +EV fold. I feel like other people in other sites would say this is a an easy call. When i played a few years ago, i immediately called and of of course raced and won or lost a few.
But yea i definitely call with JJ here. AK would be an auto call for me as well. AQ would have been a tough one. |

Re: FTturbo 6.50 bubble 99
I call here, only because I play to win. Ill take a potential race to have a huge chip lead on the bubble. But im also a degenerate gambler.

I would fold. He needs to be really wide here.

Re: FTturbo 6.50 bubble 99
Eh I could see folding 99 but damn don't fold AK. Still though it would take someone like myself to make me want to fold 99 here.
