SnG 1,50$ Fifty A7s vs K8o

You have A7s here and not ATs.
Pre-flop I’m raising a little bit bigger OOP in SB. I’d like to make it approximately 220 chips. This way the BB will fold more often, because he gets worse odds to call the hand IP.

The flop Cbet is fine with the nut flush draw. I make it a little bit smaller. Approximately 275 is better I think. His min-raise is suspicious, but with 1.195 behind I can’t fold the flush draw here and is pushing fine here. Even against top pair or better you have still decent equity to win the hand.

Thanks for the reply. Ill note the raisesizing. Is this concidering monetary value and risk premium?

I didn’t count ICM in this situation, but if you fold here you’re the short stack here and it’s also difficult to measure this, because you get also paid based on chip stacks in the end.

Shove>minraise>openfold

This is very simple. We are 14bb ef here. A7s is pretty much nuts bvb. A7s works much better by shoving than minraising. It`s hard to play OOP this way, specially with 14bb ef. You can just shove all the aces here but I would minraise-call with something like AQ/AK.
