Now I know this question is probably posted under the wrong section, but ill try anyway. When it comes to the ICM trainer, I am having a real problem with a particular spot:
There are four players left and everyone folds to you on the small blind. When do you push with any two cards and when do you push 75%? I am just confused.
Sometimes it says push 100% of your range, and others it doesnt.
Any thoughts?
Hey all
I also have a micro account on pokerstars that I play for a break from the big accounts. I play $1 stt or practice NL2 BSS. If variance drops me to under $2 then I play the $.10 - 360 Mtt.
My strategy for the 360 player dime:
Blinds at 20-30:
(position is not that important)
AA-QQ raise 5x unopened or push vs a raise
99-JJ push all-in
88-22 call for set value
KTs, QJs, JTs, QTs call for monster value (push flop if I hit a 12 outer)
AJ+ push all-in
KQ, KJs, A8s+ raise 3x unopened or call small raise. Fold to re-raise and only continue flop if you hit.
I try not to spend more than 100 tokens calling and save the rest for push or fold
Blinds at 50-100 (or BB 14+)
AA-JJ, AK raise 4x and go all-in if reraised
All other playable hands look to steal (late pos) or isolate fish to your right (mp, ep) raise 3x and only conti-bet when isolating
Blinds 150+ (or BB 13-)
Use the stt push chart
The early game is very fishy, standard raises get you into big multipots, so I prefer to push all-in preflop with most hands, often one player calls you with a rag hand and you get a healthy stack to play with. Once I double through I switch to uber-Tag and wait for a premium hand or push or fold stage (sometimes both happen at once!) IF I get a monster stack I let the cards decide if I tighten up for the bubble or push the smaller stacks around.
These are loose guidelines, I often adjust my play on the fly vs bad fish. I also use this strategy in freerolls.
BR high point: $20.48
BR low point: $.17
Current: $1.77
At .17 I was down to my last game and cashed 5th for 2.4 wooooo
Its the roll that never dies! ♦
Happy chum hunting!

Sorry to hear things aren't going well for you. All is not lost. Surely you have accumulated some fpp's by now. You could try playing in the $500 mtt tourney which costs 10 fpp's to buy in and it runs 3 times a day. Typically there are usually over 3000 players but plays like a freeroll tourney. All the donks and fishes looking to double up on the first level. Payouts are a little bit better then the $0.10 360 player mtt, so you might wanna give that a try. Good luck to you.
Matt.

Blinds at 20-30:
(position is not that important)
AA-QQ raise 5x unopened or push vs a raiser (this is correct)
99-JJ push all-in (no in position, no nothing, no stack size, just push, is that a way to lose fast?)
88-22 call for set value (so if someone bet you just call out of position, which stack?)
KTs, QJs, JTs, QTs call for monster value (push flop if I hit a 12 outer) (Is that chinese "call for monster value")
AJ+ push all-in (I wish someone push all in AJ+ every time I bet early position)
KQ, KJs, A8s+ raise 3x unopened (or call small raise= u mean DONK). Fold to re-raise and only continue flop if you hit.
I try not to spend more than 100 tokens calling and save the rest for push or fold (you won't get much push or fold that way if you donk every hand, except if you get lucky, but you cannot be lucky playing all those hands)
Blinds at 50-100 (or BB 14+)
AA-JJ, AK raise 4x and go all-in if reraised (not bad)
All other playable hands look to steal (late pos) or isolate fish to your right (mp, ep) raise 3x and only conti-bet when isolating (It will be hard to isolate a fish if you're the fish, and you don't isolate with 3bb when you bet 5bb with monster hands, actually u bring them in with your "weak playable hand")
Blinds 150+ (or BB 13-)
Use the stt push chart (why don't you just go read the articles on how to play SnG early stages??? or else you won't make to late ones without pure luck)The early game is very fishy, standard raises get you into big multipots, so I prefer to push all-in preflop with most hands, often one player calls you with a rag hand and you get a healthy stack to play with (go play bingo instead).

These are loose guidelines, I often adjust my play on the fly vs bad fish. I also use this strategy in freerolls. = don't ever use it in real money game!!!!!BR high point: $20.48
BR low point: $.17
Current: $1.77 maybe with a good use of the strategies, this would have never happened !!!At .17 I was down to my last game and cashed 5th for 2.4 wooooo
Its the roll that never dies! ♦Happy DONKY hunting!
I'm sorry to do it like this ... I'm just trying to prevent you from going broke!!!
As a motivation, there was a challenge that one player will start with $0 BR and build it up to $10K in 30 days. Well, he did it in 20 days ♦.
