Hand 50 T5o fold

Till now i have folded 50 hands, blinds are 50/100 i still have 1110 Chips and 5 players are left.
Chipleader has 8365, 2nd 1915, 3rd 1565, me 1110 and the fifth 545. The fifth is a scandinavian

maniac and he is soon out. That's a typical sng-course so i'm not in any worry.

Hand 51 66 fold
I'm bigblind, the scandinavian raises from utg 4bb. If he holds a pocketpair, my 66 is probably too

small. If he holds AK or something i'm avoiding a coinflip.

Hand 52 K4s fold
Hand 53 A4o fold
Hand 54 T4o fold
Hand 55 34o fold
Hand 56 62s fold
Hand 57 53o fold

4 players left i'm very low in chips at 50/100 and pretty soon i need a hand for a move.

Hand 58 3c3d
I'm utg, not the best position, but i have no choice and no folding equity. I have to push, hoping that no

one calls but surely the chipleader calls with K7o. I'm a 52% favorite on the flop my pair became a set.

I usually play turbos but heres my thoughts:

Hand 58 3c3d
[ QUOTE ]

I'm utg, not the best position, but i have no choice and no folding equity. I have to push, hoping that no one calls but surely the chipleader calls with K7o. I'm a 52% favorite on the flop my pair became a set.

[/ QUOTE ]
With ~7.5 BBs this is a fold without high fold equity (tight blinds).

Hand 71 A3s
[ QUOTE ]

Preflop: Hero is BB with A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 3[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img].
2 folds, SB raises to t375, Hero raises to t1570, SB folds.

[/ QUOTE ]
Seems dangerous, ok with a strong read I guess.

Hand 118 A3o - Pushing ~18 BBs on A3o is thin value at best and horrible for your image.

Hand 123 ATo - I complete here, with a read Button only limps trash your push is probably fine.

Hand 128 A7 - I bet the flop. Raising PF is also an option.

Hand 139 87o - Push (preflop)

Hand 143 J4s - Push

Hand 146 J3s - Make a small bet on the flop or check-raise instead of pushing.

Hand 148 QTo - I bet the turn once the straight hits. Also on the flop my intention is to check-raise all in.

Fuxl · #3 09-08-2007, 09:44 AM

Thank you for your feedback IFold.

Would you be so kind explaining me your thoughts about Hand 139 and Hand 143.

Hand 139 - maybe i'm a coward but i don't have the cojones to push with 87o. What i know now the minraise was the badest move.

Well in the first case with 87o your opponent has to call wider than 32% for your push to be bad, for the J4s he has to call wider than 40%.

Even if he knows these hands are on the edge of your pushing range he can't profitably call wider than this against your pushing range. In the long run these are unexploitable pushes, if he calls wider he is simply giving away value to your strong hands.

So unless he spite calls these are break even pushes at worst. More likely he has no idea that you are pushing this wide and these are around 0.3-0.5 %EV pushes.
