Default Final table of 45-man SNG. Push/fold spot with 43o. Geeeeyah.

Top 6 pay, and 1st place pays ~8x more than 6th does....

BB is a somewhat-smart LAG running about 35/15.

I don't usually post push/fold hands, but I can't seem to get this hand out of my head.... any thoughts?

250/500 - No Limit Hold'em - 0:17:49 ET - 2007/03/21
Seat 2: thricer (9,530)

Seat 4: nando31 (14,685)
Seat 5: octaveshift (3,440)
Seat 7: 12toes (18,345)
Seat 8: jeremymckissick (8,290)
Seat 9: djdtucktape (9,780)
octaveshift posts the small blind of 250
12toes posts the big blind of 500
The button is in seat #4

IDC if blinds are 500/1000, BB is not folding ever here, and 43 can only beat 1 thing in most cases, and you know what the odds of him holding that is, haha

What range are you shoving here? Top 20%?

Orly?

I don't think you're quite shallow enough to be pushing 43 into the bb... you have little f/e against chip leader and more than 6xbb left. With no antes, you can affoard another orbit or two to find a better +ev spot imho.

I let that one go. You'll have 5 shots to push before you are back in a blind and every one of them will be better than your 43. And there's not a huge chance you'll push the BB out of the hand IMO.

OK, so let's boil it down to 2 questions:

1. What's your shove range vs. the BB in this spot?
2. What does BB's stack need to be for you shove 43o?

(I know this can all be solved mathematically, but I am bad with numbers and also at work.... [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] )

1) QTo or better, you've got some chips left I want a semi-quality hand

2) BB would have to be his all in. I really don't like this spot at all

Against this BB, I am only shoving 77+, AT+ that should kill the math for you.

BB should be one of the moderate/avg stacks for you to shove this, BUT EVEN THEN @ 250/500, with 3400 left you need to consider what the other stacks are too, in this case 2 people have about 2x as you and 1 other guy is short as you. EVEN THEN, I will NEVER shove 34 in this spot even if I only have 1500 left, 43 just cant beat anything really, even if you know you need to get lucky, you need to get really lucky.
