Hi geedo,
no problem at all. Get well soon!
It is just, that I like as many listeners in a coaching as there are interested people. 
Hi conall,
thanks for taking part in it, but I have to honest, that was one of the most funny coachings I had in a long time, such a "flood" of sick spots and hands.
Hope to see you all again.
Manu

And I couldn't start new tables, cause of the serverupdate, Stars doesn't like me. 
Could you play some 18man sng's in future coachings?
Pssst, run jij ook onder EV? 
Dat heb ik nou nooit! 
hy,
next week i will be a listener in your coaching.it will be my first one.i really need some coaching lessons.
Dear Unam and NoseKiller!
First of all i have to thank you both for sharing your thoughts and experience on SNG-Tournaments with us.
While your Coaching yesterday i recognized 2 Hands that i want to talk about.
First hand was that legendary "24off Call" for 2 BB in the Blindbattle.
You were asking for Nash-Calling-Ranges.
If i am not wrong, your call is correct. Please check it.
I understand the argumentation by NoseKiller that we will loose a fair percentage of the time. I think he mentionend 68%, we will loose.
So this call will make us loosing money. Because of Bubble etc..
If we loose here, we will be left with a stack of 1,75 BB. Plus the very next hand we will be SB with no foldequity. Not so CooL.
2nd Hand.
5 or 6 handend. Blinds 100/200 Ante 25
as i remember you were in the SB (6BB Stack) ,the "tight Chris102x" to your left (Bigstack).
A) it is folded to the Button,Button Limps.
B) You as SB were pushing K4off for 6BB. You got called by Button,who showed KJs in spades.
My thoughts on that hand are, that it was a really,really bad push.
You are only isolating yourself against better hands. You are behind against every pocket pair. you are only flipping against pocket 33&22.
You are closely to 100% dominated by every other KingCombo.
You are also beind agains every Ace.
Even against QJ it is a virtual coinflip. 52% to 48%. Not included the ties.
Last but not least: what kind of hands does a casual player at these stakes Limp in that spot?
Pocker pairs from 22 to 88 even to 99
AceCombos: A2s+, A6off+
KingsCombos: K2s+, K10off+
QueenCombos: Q7s+, Q9off+
Jacks: J9s+, J10off+
So against most of these hands you are behind. You are only a big dog against K2 and K3,which they will barely call you with in that spot.
I see some players Limp/Folding to a shove. But not often enough.
Maybe i am wrong, and you were forced to push your hand "All-In" because of Deadmoney and mathematical logics, i don't know yet.
Or you were just horny on the deadmoney. ♦
Last fact. You hade a bickstack with about 25 to 33 BB Stack behind you.
Who could read your push as a squeeze or wake up with a better hand than you had.
So...
That's all for now!

Hey there,
I will be joining your coaching session next Tuesday. Currently I am only a bronze member but due to the points im receiving at the moment, and the huge volume i am going to be putting over the next few days i will most definitely be silver by then.
Looking forward to it

I am genuinely tempted to get up at 3 am Australian time to see this coaching next week. Sigh, time differences. Hope it's worth it

Hi inkognitiv,
sry for the late reply, but I had to review the HHs to give you an answer and I had them on this PC.
The first hand you mention:
PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t800 (4 handed)
UTG (t5490)
Button (t3190)
SB (t1765)
Hero (t3055)
Preflop: Hero is BB with 2♠, 4♣.
2 folds, SB raises to t1715, Hero calls t915.
The charts you posted here are for the HU and only for the HU, it would be a big mistake to use them with out knowing that.
Back to the hand, I am getting good odds, I am calling my direct opponent and I am not busted when I loose.
When I fold, I am the shortstack, I am still pushing into the CL, I am not necessarily getting the chance to push first in cause the other guys will quite often push before it is my turn.
After analysing this situation in the SNG Wizard I can see, that he has to be pushing less then 40% to make my call slightly -EV, but then folding is -EV as well and hence even a small -EV call would be fine her, I think we can fold this, if he pushes less then 30%.
IMHO folding here is horrible.
2nd hand
PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t200 (5 handed)
UTG (t1570)
MP (t1375)
Button (t4330)
Hero (t1425)
BB (t4800)
Preflop: Hero is SB with K♦, 4♣.
2 folds, Button calls t200,
I reviewed my stats on these guys, the BB hadn't played one of the last 12 hands, and the BU player limped 9 of them and raist 1, after limping he folded 2 out of 2 times to preflop pushes.
So I assumed, that the BB is calling very tight, and the BU is usually deadmoney. It is an aggressive play and usually bad, but against these opponents I thought and I still think it is OK, the problem with the loose limper is, that I will very rarely find a spot where I am first in, and then there will be more than just a tight BB to my left.
So basically what we disagree on is, that the BU imho has a range of 80% and even if he calls a range, that is wider than the limpinrange, that you assume my push is still +EV, cause he is still folding 50% of time and I think that is something like a worst case scenario, and I did these calculations with BB calling 18% what he never would call us with, so if he is tighter the push still gets better.
I think it is great that you asked here, especially the K4o is very tough and just a problem of what I have seen the BU player doing so far. I am not trying to convince you, but I trie to explain to you why I made my decision.
Last session wasn't a good one.
