Post by: ThatsSoMinusEV on October 08, 2008, 08:53:09 PM When thinking about stack sizes to shove instead of doing straight up 10bbs try another strategy.
I was moved onto something called "true bb's" which is basically 2/3's or the starting pot. Here i think if i worked it out ok, 5.6k is a true bb. Any stack less than 10 "true" bb's is a push/fold stack, so with 51k yes you should have open-shoved pre. He did not have implied value to call w suited connectors but oh well, live and learn Title: Re: Was the error pre-flop or on the flop?

Title: Re: Was the error pre-flop or on the flop? Post by: ShatnerPants on October 09, 2008, 03:25:44 PM I would just shove pre with antes in play. I spend too much time thinking of my stack in terms of Xx BB, even when antes kick in. In this case the M is about 6 I believe. At what sort of M do you start pushing preflop ? Title: Re: Was the error pre-flop or on the flop? Post by: Longy on October 09, 2008, 05:02:31 PM M of about 8 and below imo. 10bbs without antes= 7.5 in M terms.
Fwiw I think in terms of bbs as a sng player anyway. |
