SNG Wiz wants me to shove T3o in BU

Nash says I push 45% here, that's ok with me. However it expects BB to call 52% and SB 37% and except solid regs I don't know who will call like this.

If I adjust their ranges to what looks reasonable to me for 2 unknowns, which would be around 25% for both of them, this becomes an any 2 push.

Do I actually ever push any 2 here?

Hey TheLint!

you can just wait for a better hand... why should you push 103. you def. get a better hand, and with 6bb a lot of villains know that you can shove lose! and 25% are def. too tight.

Thanks. I see that I generally push to loose when I'm short. I would like to know your opinion on some other curiosities that I have, would help me a lot.

a) I see a lot of players having like 9/7 over 50 hands or something in my games and I generally call them (way) tighter then nash when they push, and I shove more into them. Should I do this?

It now looks to me like if someone played 2 hands a whole hour he expects to make his edge in push/folding so he might know what he's doing.

b) By default I push any 2 from SB into almost everyone who I don't have a few hundred hands on, if I have less then 10BB, especially the guys from a).

If I ask SNG Wiz about this, it says for 10 bb villain has to call me like K6-, K2s, Q5o- to make me loose money which I rarely see, even from regs (I think they probably start at about KTo).

However, there's a weird feeling in pushing 52o 30 chips less then 10BB pre-ante or exactly in the bubble like this.

Looking forward for your answer.

a) yes, shove or more minraise/decides

b) no need for any2pushes with 10bb unless you don't know their callingranges, 70-80% are normal nashranges depending on the spot

I don't know about sng wiz -> i'm using holdem resources calculator which I can recommend. Its much better than sngwiz!

Hi, followed your advice and started using holdem resources calculator. I hope you can help me with the following:

I started playing exactly like it says, including 3bets. Al calculations are made in cEV, unless i'm at the final table where i put the payouts.

So what I've done is integrate in my game a lot of re-steals with about 20BB when NOT at the final table. I would say that I now by default shove on CO, BU and SB raises with around any pair, almost any ace and most suited face cards.

My ROI doesn't really agree with this aproach. Am I getting to agressive?

yeah! because sometimes callingranges are too wide + especially on bu ip you can flat a lot around 20bbs with hands like kq, aj, a10 qjs, j10s stuff that plays well ip!

and from bb you get the best odds to call against minraises -> so need need to reshove a lot of hands there!

+ there are a lot of spots where you can also include small 3b/folds with 20bbs!
