Hi,
would you please reply to these two questions?
a) Hero has two hands, sitting on the SB in the bubble.
1) http://hands.holdemresources.net/?id=4h015xzzvv0o
2) http://hands.holdemresources.net/?id=skd8enx3vmin
In the first Hero should call 100%, in the second only 17.9%. I am not sure in reasoning why?
1) BU pushes 17.5%. When Hero calls, BB is calling 7.5%. Hero should call 100%, when he does not call, BU most of the time will get the pot.
2) BU minraises 12.2%, Hero calls 17.9% and BB is calling 5.5%. The numbers for BU and BB are very close, but Hero should be much more tighter. When he calls, BB will not be very loose in 3-betting. When Hero does not call, BB is often pushing and wins the pot.
Is this the reason, why Hero should call only 17.9%? If it is, it is still not clear for me why, because it seems to me that in both examples it is only a movement of the blinds to one or the other big stack.
b) Regarding using ICM or FGS in HM2 it seems to me that in HT 6max on Pokerstars is better to use ICM calculations where one of the stacks on bubble is smaller than 300 chips, FGS when it is bigger and something between when it is close to 300 chips. Do you agree?
