Sit 'n Go Strategy study group -- Part I: Low Blind Play

[mcpst17]

Good points for me to consider in my next calcs. In doing these calculations I can see why the heart of the most problems are the hand ranges. Thx, looking forward to part II.

When does discussion on part II start?

Can you (or anyone) post a start-to-finish summary of their work on Hand 1-4? Part II should start Sept 1 or so.

I have not buy the book yet, but trying to work out example 1-4 using details provided by Slim.

blinds 30/60
Case 1 (Hero folds)
MP1 raise t200, Hero folds, Co and Button call
(*Using Slim's assumption, MP1 bet flop all folds)
Hero $equity 10.8%

Case 2 (Hero pushes and everyone fold)
Hero $equity 14.2%

Case 3 (Hero pushes, MP1 call but CO and button fold, and WIN)
(Assume CO and Button will never overcall, or they will call if MP1 fold)
Hero $equity 21.8%

Case 4 (Hero pushes, get called, and lose)
Hero $equity 0%

Using Slim's range
Initial raise: 22+,A9s+,KJs+,QJs,ATo+,KJo+ (12.1%)
Call a push: 66+,AJs+,AQo+,KQs,KJo (6.86%)

So MP1 will call (6.86/12.1*100) 56.7% of the time and fold 43.4 of the time.

PokerStove
equity

49.482% { AKo }

50.518% { 66+, AJs+, KQs, AQo+ }

$Equity when Hero pushes
(0.434*0.142)+(0.567*0.4948*0.218)+0=12%

Since Hero $equity when he/she pushes is higher than when he/she fold
so Push is a better option?

Slim, may I know where could I find the spreadsheet with ICM functions that you mentioned in this post earlier?

*Could you send to me as well?

Thanks
