oh, same as helem.

trickier questions please! :P.

move a couple of the ATo situations to the bigblind and force us to make a difficult call!

1) push
2) fold
3) push
4) push
5) push
6) fold

3 & 6 are similar but in hand 3 think the player would call because UTG is in BB next hand with limited fold equity & may push with any cards

wtf? so you put UTG on a wider shove range than... say... the same stack on BU?

i don't know... read about that in HoH as well, with all the "first-in vigour" and stuff... but (IMO) if your opponents play decent ICM, then it's -EV to shove wider EP than LP.

the UTG with 4 BB , will lose 600 of his 1700 in the blinds in the next two hands and its when you make your move before you are blinded away

I have played SNG for several years & get good ROI & I dont like calling with AJ or A10 & would rather push with 72o than call with these hands

hmm... you're more of an MTT player, although i don't see prize structures making a great deal of difference in this situation

what are the right answers?

Hand 1
AT is too strong, to be folded in the blindbattle even against the chipleader, so this is an easy push.

Hand 2
Here the decision isn't that easy, if villains pushing range is 15% of his hands, than we should fold here.
But when villain is loose and he pushes 20% of his hands, then our call/push would be +EV.

Hand 3
The short stack is pushing from UTG, so he should have a wide range of hands, to do this with, when we have this in mind our push here is absolutely clear. Only very tight reads on the UTG pusher would lead to a fold here, and with very tight I mean, he would have to be tight to degree, that is very -EV for him.

Hand 4
With these stacks we could raise this hand, but the question was about pushing or folding, and a push isn't exploitable, so it is the correct answer for this hand.

Hand 5
We are first in from the button, so we are pushing a very wide range of hands from this spot, so A10 is a very easy push. Even more, because we may get called by a hand like A8, which we have dominated.

Hand 6
Again we can't say what is the correct answer. Vs an extremely loose villain we can call here. But he has too push more than 24% of his hands here, to make this call +EV, and we would risk our very good stack and with it some better chances in the future, with all this in mind I would fold here.
