$12/180man SNG, PS - Final Table - 77 UTG: Push or Fold?

bruno_pro · #1 11-18-2007, 03:29 PM

I find this to be a tough spot given stack sizes and prize distribution.. I don't know where the dividing line stands but I think it would be 77 or 88, while 99 must be a clear push and 66 a clear fold... the blinds are huge though and M ~ 4, so.. what is the correct action? Is pushing a bit too agressive/-EV ?!

Pushbot chart says yes pushy

i probably wouldnt but i can see why you would.

mostly because everyones stacks are always shallow in a turbo so its not the biggest rush, especially if you can effectively steal from LP

jonnyd... what u wouldnt?
i mean.. i didnt understand your answer.. u think is PUSH or FOLD?

jonnyd · #6 11-18-2007, 11:02 PM

i probably wouldnt push. sorry for the vagueness

Push everytime

push any pair with your stack...maybe fold less than 55 but 66+ is a easy push

I forgot to mention that this is the final table and there are big money jumps.. so, a push is certainly +cEV, but i'd like to know if this is a +$EV push, since I'm 3rd in chips and MAYBE could find better spots... does this change anything towards folding 77 UTG in that situation?
