Subject: SNG question
|
This is not something I played, just something sent over by a friend. This is a double or nothing SNG, meaning there are 10 entrants and the top 5 all get the same prize, double their entry fee (minus rake of course). Blinds are standard, and starting stacks are 1500. Based on that, here's a re-creation of the hand history: Villain sitting in seat 1 with 4150 Player 2 sitting in seat 3 with 1480 Player 3 sitting in seat 4 with 710 Player 4 sitting in seat 6 with 1355 Hero sitting in seat 7 with 4302 Player 5 sitting in seat 9 with 1382 Player 6 sitting in seat 10 with 1530 Villain has the button Player 2 posted the small blind - 30.00 Player 3 posted the big blind - 60.00 1 fold Hero with Kh Kd raises to 180 2 folds Villain re-raises to 300 2 folds What should the hero do here and why? --- Morphy xaqmorphy@donkeymanifesto.com http://www.donkeymanifesto.com "SHUT UP IDIOT" --The Great Patholio -------- RecGroups : the community-oriented newsreader : www.recgroups.com

I would think at this point to have garnered that many chips that fast that I would give very serious consideration to going "behind the log "(not playing ). This format strikes me as an interesting mix between "gamble mode' and "stall mode" when the gambling got you to a point you consider safe . I have folded KK ..3 handed in a sng when I have very little chips and other 2 are near even and have both gone all in . I thus assured myself 2nd place , or a much better shot at it . If I had ever intended to fold KK preflop, I wouldnt have played in the first place . I would either be in gamble mode or flat stall mode .NO IN BETWEEN. ON ANOTHER NOTE... i HOPE WHEN YOU SAY 'CLICK SIT OUT" THAT YOU DONT ACTUALLY MEAN LITERALLY CLICKING ON THE SIT OUT BUTTON (sorry caps and I aint retyping it ) I think that would give a signal to others that might in some cases be considered 'unfair". I would think that the sites offering this format would take the sit out option away from you OR SHOULD Those who can make you believe absurdities can make you commit atrocities.

If the BB > wants to raise fine, shove on him and see if he wants to bust on the > bubble. Good point about the shorties and open-limping. But not sure with those stacks, it would work. The shortie at button had 60K, with the antes at 2K and the blinds at 10/20K, even the biggest donk would have enough sense to know that they have no FE. If they have anything at all (2 big cards, any pair) they are likely to be calling your raise anyway. However, by limping, you give the BB no reason to fold. You are then in danger of a BB special...and he has chips to hurt you very badly. Unless of course, you play extra weak-tight, and fold to a flop bet if you dont hit a set, or call a flop bet, then muck to a turn bet. If your intention is to punish the BB, then a jam would be perfect. However, if your intention is to go through, you must assume that the BB has enough sense to fold KK/QQ...otherwise you are risking a suck-out. Is it worth the 20% risk when 20th and 1st pay the same, and there are enough shorties around to mean that you are more or less certain to go through should you fold? > --- > Morphy > xaqmorphy@donkeymanifesto.com > http://www.donkeymanifesto.com > "SHUT UP IDIOT" --The Great Patholio 'So donkeys, come rally, And the last hand let us raise!

If there are 21 players left in a 20-person satellite, and I'm the biggest stack, safe to say I'm not playing any more hands.

By folding, you are more or less certain to go through with 440K left and quiet a few shorties on 50-60K...by pushing, and if the donk was 'trap min-raising' with KK/QQ, and he instant calls....he sucks out 1 times in 5, you are in the BB next...with 50K, and blinds at 10/20K with 5K ante... Wouldn't like to say which is the better play, folding or pushing. 'So donkeys, come rally, And the last hand let us raise!

I like to use the "sit out bluff" sometimes. Sit out after folding in the UTG pos. Then when someone steals your blind, sit in before action gets to you and pop it back.

What's your goal, to double-plus win? You did see that this is double or nothing SNG right? (Regular SNG, there is TON'S more validity to a push here). A Call by this player is a disaster mathematically. Even if you have them dominated. All risk and no gain. And they may just be too stupid NOT to call. There is a lot to be said by folding here. I have no idea what notes on player 1 is, and whether or not he is just going to be a pain in the ass and ping you every hand. If so, noting this and figuring out a game plan is reasonable. More likely just a clueless player, folding doesn't really hurt. But are the other players playing REALLY tight or has there been action. If there is action, just sit back and take your winning. Player 1 may do all the action for you. I think all you have to do is play tight, and occasionally pressure a middle stack for his blinds if you can pull that off, and I think you win this tourney. This hand looks like it increases your winning percentages by just a few points. And has the risk of giving it all back way too high to make playing worth it. And you don't even really have splash chips against this guy. If you flat call you are set mining.

You're not in the money with 4,000 chips. They play tight as a drum. There's a big range for the min-raise from villain. Call is terrible. If he has AK, AQ, AJ, Axs (which are all in his range), you're giving him a free draw on the flop. Push here and he'll fold. ________________________________________________________________________ : the next generation of web-newsreaders : http://www.recgroups.com

Usually the big stacks feel like most of the rgp-ers here, and let the smaller stacks get off with no pressure on them

You don't want to take this to the flop. You want to take away the AK, AQ, AJ, Axs, any ace hand that he could be holding. You're a huge favorite to his range, but you don't want to tango post-flop. Take his chips and move on. After he folds to the push, you're auto-money. _______________________________________________________________________ RecGroups : the community-oriented newsreader : www.recgroups.com

Yeah, I figured that, I'm busting chops. Anyway, I had it all written out and just lost it and am not retyping it, but basically if the Villian is re-raising ATC, it's a shove. Else folding as a higher equity. (folding is about 18.9% of the prize pool, winning a push leads to about 19.7%, getting a fold is about 19.1%) You all can have your own arguments over whether or not the Villian is aware enough to challenge the bigger stack every time. ______________________________________________________________________ : the next generation of web-newsreaders : http://www.recgroups.com

Short stacks will just auto jam you and stay alive that way. I've seen situations where, even though against the rules, the players will actually say "hey this guy is sitting out let's take his chips and bust him". Sitting out is bad. Raising here is fine to open, and you are obviously calling any all-in, EXCEPT from the only stack who can hurt you. My personal thoughts on this hand are to re-raise to 1000 and fold to a push. There's a chance he's on any pair or something like AT/AJ and will fold to a re-raise. If he pushes you have to expect him to have AA a large % of the time, and it just doesn't make sense to get involved due to the structure of the SNG. --- Morphy xaqmorphy@donkeymanifesto.com http://www.donkeymanifesto.com "SHUT UP IDIOT" --The Great Patholio _______________________________________________________________________ : the next generation of web-newsreaders : http://www.recgroups.com

You win. There's no way you "sit out". You probably don't play a hand for a while unless there's a good reason (you're in BB for 200, stack of 400 moves in), but you don't sit out and make it easier for medium stacks to shove on your blind. You sit in, "debate" for a few seconds every time preflop before you fold, and wait to cash. And on this hand, I raise preflop and fold if the other big stack ever comes over the top of me. The people who don't are the people who make these SnG's profitable. ________________________________________________________________________ looking for a better newsgroup-reader? - www.recgroups.com

If you're going to fold now you should've just folded the Kings to start with. Getting 5-1 on the 120 chip call, you shouldn't fold even if Villian shows you Aces. You can call 120 more and then click on "sit out" if the flop doesn't hit you perfectly.
