Discussion Thread: SNG Preflop Strategy

Hello

I can not see some charts and questions on articles and quizz.
And question 6 from first lesson is wrong, because I am in CO, not in button.

Hi there

Which article are you referring to because I cannot reproduce being unable to see the charts in the articles

now works ok. And see my error, it was K6 suited.

lesson 2

Hey pLAYERsjsk,

Thank you for pointing out this issue! You're totally right that this spot is a very close one, however, according to our calculations based on adjusted calling ranges and a certain level of edge added to the cEV needed, we've marked this hand as a fold on 11bbs (push on 10bbs and less). Of course against many opponents this hand might be a no-brainer push, but we've decided to make it a default fold on 11bbs and a default push on 10bbs. It's not a big difference though, as it all depends on opponents' calling ranges, our edge on a given table, and - last but not least - on a given type of a SNG. Making it "universal" requires some simplifications ;).

Best regards

K7o also depends on what happens with BVB after you would fold here.

no it doesnt. icmizer is calculating with posible colision between players bnehind us if we fold as you can see in the screenshot i upload.

gaaish: thank you for reply. i definitly agree with what you said. i just hate to "fail" the quiz... maybe in the quiz there shouldnt be such a close / questionable spots.

It does if you change those ranges yourself and not leave them as nash.

i don't know calling range how it is work please explain to me thanks

Example top left:

- you are knowing that your opponent pushes 5% of his range
- you do need 60% equity for a call (see the article for how you find the %)
=> you can call with the top 0.9% of all hands

How do you know which hands belong to 0.9%? Simply check it with our tool equilab: free download

oh oh i see thanks you

I’m not sure what you mean, but if you put you’re hand in icmizer it will be calculated automatic for you if you use the $ev option and the right pay-outs and you click on ‘Calculate Nash equilibrium’. You can always change ranges it to what you think your opponents will play.

With 14 blinds effective there will not be more many players at the table, so no early positions right? Is the early position push chart ever used?

In a 1-table 9 handed sng with no antes, do I start pushing at 8 bb effective? Should I not start pushing earlier at 12 bb effective?
