Title: 6.50 45 man 7 left icm spot
Post by: buzzharvey22 on January 24, 2011, 04:56:45 PM
Could someone tell me if this is correct to call or fold please. mostly in relation to the smaller stacks left.

7 left and 7 paid. Villian is playing 20/10ish over a small sample. he completed the sb previously out of a 5bb stack and folded to my jam.

Poker Stars $6.00+$0.50 No Limit Hold'em Tournament - t600/t1200 Blinds + t75 - 7 players - http://www.handconverter.com/hands/1139053

UTG+1: t28051       M = 12.06
MP: t14915       M = 6.42
CO: t707       M = 0.30
BTN: t4677       M = 2.01
SB: t7745       M = 3.33
Hero (BB): t7670       M = 3.30
UTG: t3735       M = 1.61

Pre Flop: (t2325) Hero is BB with Ac 5d
5 folds, SB raises to t7745 all in

Pretty sure this is a fold, with co stack and your read that sb is unlikely to be anywhere near as wide here as he should be.

I think its a fold but only due to the number of micro stacks around. If you were all evenish I think its a call

if the player has any idea at all what he is doing he should be shoving super super wide here. my grasp on ICM isn't the greatest but my understanding is that it kicks in more when you get to significant pay jumps. i don't consider the jump from 7th to 6th in a 45man $6.50 anywhere approaching significant so i'd still be playing for 1st here.


I've just loaded up pokerstars to get the cashouts and realised this was a tourney, not a SNG. so what i said up there probably isn't relevant. payouts make a difference here. any chance you have them? i don't know why i assumed it was a 45 man sng

It is a 45 man sit and go, payouts are as follows:

84, 60, 42, 30, 24, 18, 12.

Like i say i called by i wasnt sure about it.
