He had been playing tight in this game and his stats back that up as well
so should I raise/call here when I am probably dominated or flipping?
ICMizer says this is an easy call, but there is no way he is shoving as wide as it suggests
These are some more likely ranges I think
AQo against
22+,A9s+,AJo+,KJ+ is 0.4% (still think that range is too wide though)
55+,ATs+,AJo+,KQs is -0.54% ( and I think his range might be even tighter than that as well)

On reflection I think I should fold and preserve my nice stack

Seat 7: Player7 ( 1962 ) - VPIP: 20, PFR: 16, 3B: 5, AF: 2.7, Hands: 520

Poker Stars, $3.11 Buy-in (60/120 blinds, 15 ante) No Limit Hold'em Tournament, 5 Players

MP: 3,058 (25.5 bb)
Hero (CO): 3,392 (28.3 bb)
BTN: 2,614 (21.8 bb)

Preflop: Hero is CO with A♦: Q♠:
MP folds, Hero raises to 240, BTN folds, SB raises to 1,947 and is all-in, BB folds, Hero calls 1,707

I like how "nice stack" sounds :f_biggrin:
I would fold unless I knew SB was good and other short stacks were good as well so I needed to gamble a bit. I would also look at bully I was from my opponents' perspective so I deserved a punishment :f_biggrin:

Sounds like a good plan, but I would most likely call as well against a TAG player.
He isn’t looking that tight for a 9 man SNG player.

I'm just not sure how often I am ever dominating him in this spot, I think I'm either flipping or dominated most of the time

He has to be shoving a lot of weaker aces and is he really shoving A6+ and hands like that?

If he knows your CO stats and uses them, then he would shove accordingly. Otherwise, he would be most likely tighter than Nashwise, coz most regulars (which he knows you are) tend to play tighter as well at this limits (a good Russian turbo/hyper SnG regular mentioned it in one of his tutorial). I would stick to his 5% 3bet shove stat here against which we are behind

You're definitley right about most of the regs at these limits, they shove and call way tighter than NASH, every now and then I see one do what looks a crazy play but actually turns out to be correct so they get a note straight away

What videos have you been watching?

It is one of the coaches from pokerstrategy (ChDenis), he does not make videos in english(.
Like Collin Moshman videos and watched some Aarnimesta's tutorials but not sure if I like them.
