Default Re: SNG mid-game: opening on the small blind 15 BB

I start by not open shoving any hands here for 15bbs.

So I'd probably raise/fold those 3 hands against player 1, and raise call against player 3, in almost all circumstances. Against player 2, I'm probably usually raise/calling all three but it depends on my image and table dynamics.

Given the ranges assumed in Slim's last post (with the graph), raise-calling with KTs is clearly a bad option (I don't know if it's strictly -$EV since I don't feel like doing the math, but I assume it probably is), while open-shoving it is clearly +$EV. This is probably (part of) the point of this whole post.

It's also got to be exploitable to shove KTs and not shove 33 and A7o, but Pudge's point that the hypothetical villain isn't going to exploit hero often (at all?) is well taken.

I still like shoving here, 'cause I play SNGs so I don't have to think. :-)

Wow i need to get SNGPT. I'm running well without it but clearly i still need some ICM learning. I rarely if ever shove 15BB's deep, and all the talk here is about how marginal hands like KT, 33 and A7 are great unexploitable pushes. Dayyyum, i need to get SNGPT.
