60- Pushing Range 5-6 Handed

[MatteyA28]

I've been having a lot of trouble lately with pushing in the middle stages of a tournament. When I started studying sngs, I put most of my time into reviewing bubble play and ITM play, neglecting the mid game almost entirely. I'd like to hear both 1- What range are we pushing and 2- what calling ranges are we giving our opponents.

I gotta get to class now but I may post more later if I feel it necessary.

Antes or not? As that will change the answers quite a bit.

[MatteyA28]

No antes for any of these hands.

[jason75]

Any opponent info?

[MatteyA28]

No I just pulled these from a recent HH so assume avg opponents.

[kleath]

All of these you should be pretty tight except you can loosen a bit in CO, these are pretty much sng pt questions though and depend on calling ranges.

[runhot]

hand 1 - AQ+/JJ+ folding everything else.
hand 2 - AJs+, AQ+, 99+
hand 3 - ATs+, AJ+, 88+
hand 4 - you say 1fold, but your utg.

these are just quick guesses readless, but probably right in the area of what you should be shoving.

[MatteyA28]

Thanks this is what I was looking for. I don't see what you mean in hand 4, I was UTG. Do these ranges look standard for everyone else??

[vers]

I would usually shove like one and something two hands lighter in each range that runhot stated. Obviously depends on the table.

[Dice Man]

1: 88+/AJs/AQ+ ..you can't be folding 99/10 10 here IMO.
2: 77+/A 10s+/AJ+/KQs
3: 66+/A8s+/A 10+/K 10s/KQ+..maybe as wide as J9s+ depending on players.
4: 99+/AQ+

Too wide? Maybe not. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
