PUSH OR FOLD

23.03.2018, 16:13 0

MP player is a LAG and entered in push/call with hands such Ax+, KTs+ and suited connectors.
Do you call this shove or fold?

According sng wizard if the mp pushes with 6,5% of this range would be a easy fold, but, as you can see bellow he pushed with more than12% and its a easy call.

Hi Arnalsan,
SnG Wizard assumes players play rationally. Or at least make decisions based on their cards. This is not always the case.

It is tough to gauge a player's opening range based on one hand -- has he been tight previously? Loose?

I'm interested in hearing what others say here.

All the best,
VS

Bizarre hand? Post it in Hand of the Day!!

It’s a LAG player and he’s the chip leader. TT would be for me an easy call all day.
Especially that you aren’t a stack that can fold ITM as 4th in chips in most likely a 9-man KO SNG.

A you mentioned hes LAG and you only got 9BB left, easy call here for me as well. Actually a pretty thankful spot here I think.

Thanks!
For STT SnG there are 2 current lines some "winning" players are doing: 1) Nit ones who plays just push or fold mainly with premium hands, example LOADER999 2) LAG players as SerkeyKr3, the villain in this hand [the last 8 SnG he played he was 4 in ITM --- 25% ITM accordingly sharkscope] - They play marginal hands initially to double stack and manage it in spots like that. [I'm not saying that is clever or dumb choice]

What is opinion about it?
