Advanced S&G strategy? Or pure idiocy....
Someone in another poker forum suggested that this topic be posted on 2+2, so I figured that I would do the honors. Your opinions are appreciated.
http://www.wptfan.com/article.php?st...70809081004553 Hello all, this is my first post in quite a while. What do you think of my play in this $50 sig-n-go? 4 players left, blinds are 200/400 Gee_Man - 6,000 player 2 - 3,300 player 3 - 3,400 player 4 - 800 I'm in the small blind, player 2 folds, player 3 folds. I have AA and fold my small blind to player 4. My fold allowed player 4 to stay in. I then pounded the blinds of player 2 and 3 (they were tight wanting to make the money). By the time player 4 finally went out I had almost all the chips.

Don't fold AA EVAR in a STT!
Perhaps 3 years ago you could do this with reads. Maaaaaybe. Yugoslav

I wouldn't fold any hand here unless I had some really solid nitty reads on 2nd and 3rd stacks.

If I may emphasize on behalf of this person, his rationale for folding was this:
My fold allowed player 4 to stay in. I then pounded the blinds of player 2 and 3 (they were tight wanting to make the money). By the time player 4 finally went out I had almost all the chips.

People LOVE AT+ and HATE being bullied, even at the cost of EV.

I like this a lot better if BB has between 400 and 201 chips.
Whenever I make plays like this(although I never fold this strong a hand) the shortstack calls my next push with like A3 anyway

Re: Advanced S&G strategy? Or pure idiocy....
To summarize here we are folding AA preflop in order to keep someone in the hand, under the false assumption that we can bully and pwn the bubble? Ummm....
NO...That's just stupid here.. (FYI, next time list the hand like this) player 2 - 3,300 player 3 - 3,400 Gee_Man - 6,000 player 4 - 800 Just take player 4 out and use your stack to crush the two remaining players. Had this been the situation Gee_Man - 6,000 player 2 - 3,300 player 3 - 3,400 player 4 - 800 I would raise to 800 hoping to trap, otherwise shove. This whole concept is based on two players rolling over and dying, if that's the case it really does not matter much what you do. As played if the NITs wake up with a decent hand you'll double them up and be sorry that shorty is still around. Results mean nothing, even if it worked out this time.. I can't see this as being a +EV
