Hand 1 Output:

http://www.holdemresources.net/hr/sngs/icmcalculator.html?action=calculate&bb=300&sb=150&ante=25&structure=0.5%2C0.3%2C0.2&s1=3435&s2=1130&s3=4800&s4=4135&s5=&s6=&s7=&s8=&s9=

So BB's call with AK is definitely fine.

Hand 2 Output:

http://www.holdemresources.net/hr/sngs/icmcalculator.html?action=calculate&bb=300&sb=150&ante=25&structure=0.5%2C0.3%2C0.2&s1=4160&s2=5735&s3=1305&s4=2300&s5=&s6=&s7=&s8=&s9=

Again BB's call with AK is fine. Note however that Nash:

1. Assumes Hero (BB we're looking at in this case) has 0 edge when in reality he can definitely find better spots AND

2. Assumes BU (that's us) is pushing any two cards. Which I said we aren't due to the reality of us sometimes getting called too loosely.

Hand 3 Output:

http://www.holdemresources.net/hr/sngs/icmcalculator.html?action=calculate&bb=800&sb=400&ante=50&structure=38%2C25%2C16%2C10%2C6%2C5&s1=1704&s2=5134&s3=3910&s4=15709&s5=9560&s6=11825&s7=6558&s8=5750&s9=

A close push according to Nash (Nash has our range as 96s+). Note however how wide Nash assumes BB will call. I feel both BU and SB's ranges are about right here, but BB I do not imagine calls off his stack here with A9o or A8s or A9s for that matter. So I'm still very very happy with my push. When in doubt in these spots sticking by this rule is best at the small limits:

When making a close decision whether to push or fold, pushing is best (especially true from late positions!)

When making a close decision whether to call a push or fold, folding is best.

First time in a live coaching session for me on here and was very impressed with the overall presentation of it. I thought your overall thought process was concise, and you explained the situations well.

Look forward to the next one. _cool:

He SmokenS,

it is totally easy - whenever a live coaching session is going to take place (just view the schedule on the coaching-tab at the top of our page) a button "Tune In" will appear on that coaching ~10 minutes ahead of the scheduled start.
Once you enter the coaching you will see our coaching player software (no download needed) and will be able to listen to the coaching itself. Chenny8888 is usually playing live in his coaching.
Due to a great tool, called join.me, you will be given the opportunity to see the coaches screen at no cost for you: just click the link that is provided in the top left of the coaching information in the coaching player pop-up.

If you have any further questions - don't hesitate to ask them!

the times that show up in the coaching schedule are set up according to your computers time zone, so you do not even have to change sthg in your profile.

he kiromanAAKK,

I wanted to spare you the sad story. You know,its getting bitterly cold all over europe.
And what are chenny8888 and TerrorBlade, our guys from New Zealand doing? Going on vacation to a nice beach with party location ...
I hope they'll post some pictures when they, but for now I just better don't think about it (and thus did not inform you here guys) :-(

They will be back from Monday tough....

I'll probably be back next week! These last couple weeks have been dedicated to live poker. I could've actually done the coaching today as I busted from my tournament super super early however I had it cancelled before I left for the casino. When I got back my contact had already gone offline (timezones :( ).

Sunday next week is day 3? of the Star Poker Summer Series Main Event. Given how I've been running lately I probably won't make it that far ;). So I'll pretty likely be here (hopefully not though _cool: )

He guys,

I am sorry that the coaching has to be cancelled another time for this weekend.
However we are arranging to have a second coach for the SnG beginner-coaching, so that cancellations will be the clear exception.
Again - my apologies!

yes,
chenny has been at the PCA, playing the tournament in the Bahamas. Now he is back in the southern hemisphere, but only to play a team event at the Aussie millions tomorrow.
Please be reminded that we will have a silver-coaching session with Unam in the evening.
Chenny should be back next week.

In case you guys missed the last 2 coachings:

akrammon is now assisting me in the coaching! Make sure you tune in this morning as we get some fresh thinking in our approach to SNGs!

FWIW today's coaching will be held on Pokerstars as Partypoker still haven't gotten back to me on the status of my account (I think it was hacked, lost <1$ though so it's fine ^^)
