It's not a hypothetical player, it's me 
I've played and won NL4 and NL5 SH cash, so I'm confident in my post-flop play at this limit (2.25's on FT). I will try 6-max when I've gotten back into the swing of things: Still a bit rusty after a long absence from poker. Thanks for the help!
Although ICM would be totally different in 6-max. Hmm. That presents a much larger issue. I guess I'll have to think about it!

Yes, I guessed as much
ICM is more a case of tweeking ranges rather than rewriting the book. 6mx sounds a good option for you, amigo.
Oh, sweet Any idea where I can study 6-max ICM? AFAIK the PS.com ICM trainer is 50/30/20 only.

Make sure you are using latest version. I just installed and there is a partypoker 6 handed option in "Poker portal Filters" (top right).
Should be fine for getting a good feeling for situations.

fold, fold, fold, fold, Hero calls $10, BB raises to $1,500 (AI), fold
BB wins $40
Anyone care to guess at his range? Perhaps the maths guys out there could tell me with what range this overshove would actually be profitable? What hands would you complete with the intention of calling here, as hero?
I would complete/raise sometimes from the SB if you know BB is aggro enough.. so it depends largely on the reg on reg dynamic you have with this guy. Although usualy not on this blindlevel, and rarely the TOP hands like JJ+ AQ+.
On 10/20 I just openraise the decent hands and complete or fold the rest. So I'm not completing anything on this blindlevel to 'trap' BB into raising.
If it's not a misclick by the BB I woulden't expect much else then top hands here anyway from him.

I would say misclick 
its interesting , i wonder if the SB can actually limp/call anything in this spot? top of your range is probably a weak suited ace? and limp/calling a hand like A4s this deep (considering your edge) probably not optimal. so can SB limp/call anything? probably no. therefore, BB can jam atc and pick up 40 chips 100% of the time? lol...
some food for thought. would be a very profitable trap spot for you if he continued to try and exploit this t20 sb limp by overbet jamming 75bbs.

Will try a few more times, then it's Aces baby. Speaking of Baby:
No doubt inspired by Kevin McBride's gutsy river call, my opponent today at a $100 had a similar plan:
Grabbed by Holdem Manager
NL Holdem $20(BB) Replayer
SB ($1,580)
Hero ($1,530)
UTG ($1,470)
UTG+1 ($1,500)
CO ($1,430)
BTN ($1,490)
Dealt to Hero J♥ 4♣
fold, fold, fold, fold, SB calls $10, Hero checks
FLOP ($40) J♦ T♦ J♣
SB bets $20, Hero raises to $60, SB calls $40
TURN ($160) J♦ T♦ J♣ A♠
SB checks, Hero bets $135, SB calls $135
RIVER ($430) J♦ T♦ J♣ A♠ 2♣
SB checks, Hero bets $320, SB calls $320
SB shows 3♦ 8♦
(Pre 41%, Flop 26.5%, Turn 15.9%)
Hero shows J♥ 4♣
(Pre 59%, Flop 73.5%, Turn 84.1%)
Hero wins $1,070
"I call: I play the board. Oh, wtf?! I mean, I table 8 high."
Hey Tim: Another question about the SNG's, sorry to bother you I checked out the 6-max ICM, did okay, and confirmed you were right about tweaking ranges, especially BvB, but not totally throwing everything out the window. Was hoping I could get your recommendation on something else. What speed should I be playing, normal or turbo? If the answer is "It depends" what are the factors it depends on? If the answer is "Either is fine", what are the pros/cons of each?
Normals will yeild a higher ROI.
Turbos will yeild a higher $/hr invested.
Turbos will generate more rake and therefore r/bk.
You simply need to estimate what will give you the highest hourly by simulating $/game for different formats and working out how many games/hr you can play.
Glk!
An amazing new food megalopolis has opened in my hometown. We were wowed by one adjacent to Central Park in NYC a few months back, and so it's pretty awesome to have one here for all our ogling needs
Thus inspired, tonight I made a smoked haddock, leek and marscopone tart. It was pretty foooook*n delicious, though I say so myself:
Nom, nom, nom.

Hyper turbos.
Unless you're a genius like Tim and can get 10%+ ROI on the highest limits.
P.S. Tim, do you consider cooking coachings?
what a tilting job stacking all those veggies/fruits so neatly 
omg tim!! looks delic! what you making tomorrow and at what time will you be expecting me?

Where the fuck is all the meat
Those fruits and veg are way too neat.
I'm suspicious.
Look at the peppers! 
I've never seen the like.

Whatever you wish:
p.s. All that stacking comes at a hard price, peeps. I might open a stacking (geddddit?) thread. If we all club together we might be able to aford a red and a green one.
Vonki, 7pm Sunday ok?
Roo, shurrup and eat your Spinach - it helps with working out pot odds.
Dude am so jealous!!!
I love cooking, but how can u cook without great ingredience...this is just amazing how awesome it looks...Lets hope that one day someone opens one in here
bon apetit
Told you it's close :P. But i guess if you consider futuregame aspects it's a reasonable call
Yeah, prolly a fold cos I doubt you are 90% there. Sorry bout the suckout. If it's any consolation, I'm $600 under EV today, so I really needed that suckout ♦
