hand one just check

hand two is a simple sngpt question but I would probably fold

hand three is a push, if the blinds were 200/400 I would probably fold

To my untrained eye, H3 is the biggest sngpt question. I'm punching in numbers in sngwiz, and it keeps coming up fold.

H2, I think the stack sizes have to be given the highest consideration. I'm still in OK shape and I don't think he's pushing a crazy wide range yet.

Does SNGWiz suggest than hand one is a good move? I'd never push that, and I doubt it's very profitable at the $16s, given how many donks will limp/call any push with QTo or whatever. When pushing here I'd like to at least have a semblance of a hand, at least ace-high or KJ or something. But if the math indicates it's a good move, perhaps I should broaden my horizons.

H1 - check. You don't have that much FE and you certainly don't want a call. (Unless you have a read that he's doing this with marginal hands that is)

H2 - Fold. You are in fine shape, wait for a better spot. Button has a wide range, but you're not beating it by that much, and losing puts you in a tough spot.

H3 - Push. Q8s is better than 50% and you have the biggest chance of getting it HU now (if SB folds or pushes over BB). Next hand you will have to call with any2 and might even face 2 players who will gang up on you and check it down.

Hand 1 and Hand 2 are totally read dependant.

Hand 1: What's the guy's vpip/pfr?

Hand 2: I would tend to call this against very good players or very loose players. The button should be shoving a huge range here because you are the opponent he expects to have the most FE against. But it's close.

Hand 3: Make sure you turn the "discount for next hand's BB all the way up in the equity modeling section of SnGPT. Is it still -EV?
