Scaling up the hill in SnG 9man micro stakes

Hello all,

I wish you all the best!
I know what you mean by " I realize that I'd watched them instead of learning."

I find it difficult to learn from videos for that reason -- my brain starts to treat the video like entertainment instead of instruction.

To help defeat this, I stop the video and back it up a lot, to review what the video maker really meant.

Respect for playing the 9-man turbos!
I found this the toughest format of all.

Best of luck,
VS

Hey VorpalF2F, thank you very much for your feedback.

Here in pokerstrategy, there is a complete coach for poker players and the majority of members included me(I suppose) uses this material like an entertainment. Agreed with you. (I'm trying to change and go further on)

Another day I was seeing a Collin Moshman vid and in the final, I looked up in comments and there was a question from @Maniac very important for the SnG player that Collin answered.

Here in Brazil, there is a guy named Joao Bauer that is a winner player and won "Main Event da WSOP in South America" and others and in his vids about his carrier he mentioned that pokerstrategy was vital for him in his carrier.

Thx Pokerstrategy

Yesterday I did an investment to boost my SnG STT carrier: bought Collin Moshman ebook @amazon.
I'd just finished to ready "low blind game" and look down deep every example that he mentioned
" drilling......"

Reading his books make me better understand some vids here.

I probably should have known about Collin's book, but somehow it escaped my attention -- I'll check it out.

Thanks!

I'm mixing STT with 45man 0,50 turbo and I would like a direction of how to play the following hand:

PokerStars, $0.45 + $0.05 - Hold'em No Limit - 300/600 (50 ante) - 6 players
Replay this hand on CardsChat

UTG: 9,127 (15 bb)
MP: 26,386 (44 bb)
CO (Hero): 12,791 (21 bb)
BU: 3,991 (7 bb)
SB: 7,371 (12 bb)
BB: 7,834 (13 bb)

Pre-Flop: (1,200) Hero is CO with K♣ A♦
1 fold, MP raises to 1,200, Hero 3-bets to 3,000, 3 players fold, MP 4-bets to 26,336 (all-in), Hero calls 9,741 (all-in)

Despite ICMIZER says that is a +3,27% EV it costs my jump on payout.

It was ok play or you think different?
Thanks

Don't forget that ICMIZER looks at massive numbers of trials, this looks at only one.
Such a huge stack can 4Bet fairly wide, but even so, will he risk half his stack?

As a general rule, the idea that you want to avoid tangling with the other bigger stacks applies, but if you are already ITM, I guess you have to call.
You dominate the Ax part of his range, you are flipping against 22-QQ and crushed by KK, AA

The question is: How big is his Ax range?
