Thoughts?

fml I replied to all of these and hit preview instead of post....and closed the window.

re-replying now lol

[AlreadyBeenVaped]

Let me preface this by saying I'm much nittier than you nick and I do pass up on certain spots that are slightly profitable in better structured tournies (non-turbos).

Hand 1:
nh, I don't like opening into so many reshove stacks but its a turbo 180 and avg stack will always be 10-15bbs so I guess we need to open every profitable spot we can find, correct?

Hand 2:
Nash says we can shove 46%, 22+ Ax+ K2s+ K3o+ Q3s+ Q7o+ J7s+ J9o+ T7s+ T9o 97s+ 87s 76s
What's your reason for folding here, bc CL is in BB and will call off very wide whereas if a short stack was in the BB he might call too tight?

Hand 3:
nh, does he fold bc he wants to continue bullying with his chiplead by opening a tonne/pressuring all the other stacks?

Hand 4:
I get it in here for sure.

Hand 5:
I probably jam pre. Are you planning to r/f to the SB w QJo?

Hand 6:
Another spot where I feel I fold bc of all the small stacks, but I'm sure you've figured out that its profitable. What kind of homework do we do to find out if a spot like this is a profitable open?

Hand 7:
vnh I play it the exact same.

Hand 8:
ICM fold because of m_michalec and pokersssss stacks?

[RWPKRPLR1]

note i didnt look at alreadybeenvape's post, i wanted to work this out myself.
thx for posting them.

1. There is some Obv History here.I think this line is fine anyway since they're
Prob putting you on ATC.

2. A def shove here with two bad rec plrs..even if they were two good regs you
could profitably ship this, you just wouldn't make as much.

3. IMO nothing wrong with getting it in against his super wide range.

4. I could be loose here, but i think a call is in order. maybe a calling range like
this 44+,A9s+,KTs+,QJs,ATo+,KJo+.. he seems new to the game or is a cash player, so
he may not know what to do here, making his range tighter than what i have it at.

5. Shipping here is better. Sb could exploit your min raise.

6. at first i was like this is way too loose! after a some thought, you have
sufficient equity to call here. i just don't understand to open tho! is it one of those
raise now consider after spots?

7.Ya this is good, we have 39% equity against his range and we only need about
35%

8.you know what i actually typed out two different answers, one was shove is OK
and another that a fold is OK. i really feel it doesn't matter here both are fine
you're only worried about the btn here. pls correct me.

Edit: 8 is def a ICM fold because of the Btn

Hand 1:
nh, I don't like opening into so many reshove stacks but its a turbo 180 and avg stack will always be 10-15bbs so I guess we need to open every profitable spot we can find, correct?

ya reshoves stack are never a problem really i think, just whether or not they reshove light enough.

Hand 2:
Nash says we can shove 46%, 22+ Ax+ K2s+ K3o+ Q3s+ Q7o+ J7s+ J9o+ T7s+ T9o 97s+ 87s 76s
What's your reason for folding here, bc CL is in BB and will call off very wide whereas if a short stack was in the BB he might call too tight?

its an icm spot and ya im worried bb will call a little looser.

Hand 3:
nh, does he fold bc he wants to continue bullying with his chiplead by opening a tonne/pressuring all the other stacks?

Dunno why he folded. I didn't think i have much fold equity but thought i'd have some.

Hand 4:
I get it in here for sure.

vs a decent villain its ok, but i felt this player would be a little tighter. Add a little edge on the field and I think its a fold, or close to it.

Hand 5:
I probably jam pre.  Are you planning to r/f to the SB w QJo?

ya

Hand 6:
Another spot where I feel I fold bc of all the small stacks, but I'm sure you've figured out that its profitable.  What kind of homework do we do to find out if a spot like this is a profitable open?

well i wasn't sure but I thought it was. The small stacks are actually what makes it an open. We can look at it in the nash calculator as a min/call/fold. Also having a good fundamental knowledge of the min raising game can help produce this on the fly. I put in ranges in nash calc and q4s was right on the edge (profitable ;p).

Hand 7:
vnh I play it the exact same.

ya was icm so wanted to check it.

Hand 8:
ICM fold because of m_michalec and pokersssss stacks?

ya it was a pretty clear fold it seems

1. There is some Obv History here.I think this line is fine anyway since they're
Prob putting you on ATC.

ATC!!!??? are you putting me on atc? Are you opening atc here?

2. A def shove here with two bad rec plrs..even if they were two good regs you
could profitably ship this, you just wouldn't make as much.

icm tho?

3. IMO nothing wrong with getting it in against his super wide range.

if they don't fold ever 22 is close and often a fold.

4. I could be loose here, but i think a call is in order. maybe a calling range like
this 44+,A9s+,KTs+,QJs,ATo+,KJo+.. he seems new to the game or is a cash player, so
he may not know what to do here, making his range tighter than what i have it at.

icm again if hes nash then its a call (55+), but if they are a little tighter its a fold. My reads are they are a little tighter so i folded.

5. Shipping here is better. Sb could exploit your min raise.

We are never really interested in 'could' but whether they 'would' So for this hand you can assume I feel the sb won't exploit us.

6. at first i was like this is way too loose! after a some thought, you have
sufficient equity to call here. i just don't understand to open tho! is it one of those
raise now consider after spots?

all spots are fundamentally raise now consider after.

7.Ya this is good, we have 39% equity against his range and we only need about
35%

Edit: 8 is def a ICM fold because of the Btn

yup it didn't seem close really when i looked it up

[JodaB.]

its kinda weird doing it like this. These were just hands that were close and i wanted to look up with a calculator etc. Most of them have reads I didn't type out, which is fine, I don't expect others to guess these all correct or anything. They are just the hands that are at the border of some of my thoughts.

[RWPKRPLR1]

Thx joda, I really don't mind being wrong here. I know I don't know much about ICM, so this gives me some direction on where to improve my  non existent ICM game. I'll be back


edit
1. No I am not opening ATC here, I tend to play a tighter range here because of the high chance of a showdown. (I guess i fell back into that bad habit of assuming! I just thought there may be alot of history here.
