You need to change your perspective if you are going to win at sngs.

This is not a cash game. In a cash game, you will take a 55/45 edge every time.

In a sng, you are focusing only on getting ITM. And you have a much better chance of getting ITM by folding with someone else on a shortstack than by taking a 2:1.

Tournament poker is not only based around hands, its about chips and jockeying for position.

I would assume with a pretty short shortie, AA and KK is probably your range. It might only be AA. I'd have to run this through sngpt.


EDIT: with a min. edge of .5%

villain pushes 100%
call with 77+, AQs+

pushes 50%
call with TT+, AK

pushes 30%
call with JJ+, AK
