UTG Folds, UTG+1 Folds


How does everyone feel about shoving these hands? When I got dealt them, I pushed them all thinking it to be an easy decision, but they're all folds in SNGWiz. Given my stack size in both relative to the blinds, I really think they're all shoves. There's antes in the 2nd hand also, hence the final pot.

So I'm looking for other opinions here -- are these actually folds? Assume none of your opponents are crazy and will gamble with like QTo or whatever random junk.

What buy ins & reads on the players, ranges? You have obviously run them on some sick wide ranges if you found them all to be folds.
1 & 2 are sure fire pushes. 3 may be a fold depending on ranges. Sure you are using SNGW right?

[jonkeponke]

Possibly not using it right. 32+3 buyin in all of them, assuming all normal ranges. I generally have all of them calling around 11-14% varying on position and chipstack generally, and haven't messed with the default edge at all. What range do you think normally constitutes a standard range, since I've noticed SNGWiz can give a default range of 25% for everyone.

I might fold 2) and 3) against crazy opponents ($16 and below) but 1) is even then a push.
