Default Re: Give me a range to push here.

even donks only limp 40% or so, usually, if he calls 70% of that I would want a hand in the top 30% or so myself. Sure we may have thin edge with broader than that, but we dont have much fold equity, we would need to win the hand, and I am sure your the best guy at the table right? so lets preserve some edge... something like top 25-30%, thats something like :
44+,A2s+,K8s+,QTs+,JTs,T9s,98s,A5o+,KTo+,QJo,JTo

Card,

Considering I haven't played an MTT in a week and limped with QQ UTG a few hands earlier (and was immediately followed by 4 limpers), best player at table is a stretch
[img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img].

Anyway, I had J9s, which I thought was very borderline. I almost shied away from it, I pushed, he snap-called with K10o. Very marginal, IMO, didn't like it afterwards, but I'm slowly starting to see the more nuanced errors of my ways.

Remember he's not limp calling top 40%, he's limp calling 10-30% normally.

A limp is an exclusionary range calculation.

The limper, IMO, is calling a large percent of what he limped with. I'd say you are getting about 150 in FE once you assume he is a "level 1" player (which, judging from the hand I posted about him, seems fairly clear).

Not what I meant. What I meant is that you can't apply "limping top 40%" of his hands to his range. You need to subtract his raising range.

If he limps 40% of his hands, and raises 11% of them, then the range of his hand is between the top 89% and 60%, discounting a bunch of monsters under the bed.

This is sensible, MJ, but surprisingly when I stove it, it doesn't change the answer very much.

Just going with top 40%, I suggested that KTo would be the minimum shoving hand (which, not to be too results-oriented, turned out to be exactly what villain had). But when I subtract a bunch of stuff from the top of his range, the minimum shoving hand turns out to be QTs, and Barry's shoving range is almost the same.

Default Re: Give me a range to push here.

you leave out so many factors here...
what are the stakes ... $1 buy in or $30+? is this a SNG or a 450 person MTT??? how many players til the $$$?

i don't really know what this guy is thinking of pushing for without a premium holding... the guy is horrible and will probably call a wiiiiiide range.

take a free flop and wait for a big hand since he has you covered and could stack you, unless u're certain he'll fold to a bet that big...

i wouldn't push much... A10s+ (but me personally AQs+), AKo, and probably QQ+...if it was before the $$$, i would have a super tight range and not wanna donk out with 0 equity for my 60 minutes spent to get to 80/160 blinds.

after the money bubble, i'd push 77+, AXs, K9s+... and if you really wanna play loose add some big queens that might give you 40/60 equity against a raggy ace or underpair.

don't have flopitis... play a pot w/ him...

i'd for sure check preflop, lead a half pot value bet and cbet the turn if cold called depending on what fell...and find out where i'm at. 2/3 times he misses the flop anyways..... and you might just save yourself from a horrible bad beat story. like hellmuth, i hate the all-in move w/out the nuts or close to it.

is my range toooooo nitty? i don't think so... i either place first or generally don't money at all and i'm usually busted by a a donkey call (when i have the bigger weaker holdings AQ AK etc... .)
