I am never playing a tourney to min cash, so am just pushing pretty close to cEV here.

Range= 33+, a10+,a8s+, kq, qjs+.

How easily can we fold to min cash? If like folding a couple of hands in this spot guarantees us a min cash then we should be folding pretty much everything? The jump from $0->$500orwhateveritis is pretty big, esp if there's another 3000 players before a money jump.

Folding another orbit will guarentee getting paid

But I was talking to a few mates and they said play to win etc etc
But there's still 7k players left to beat

Would u just fold anything to get to 350$

I think at that point i'm happy to fold to lock some cash up. Playing to win is fine but there's a long way to go yet. I'd be tempted to just sit out for 10 mins and step away from the computer.

If this was a $3 tournie would you approach it in same way?

these are redic statements as the money has inherent value to someone

In short thou Paul - if we are a few hand from the $$$$ no point in engaging in ICM suicide (*EMSBAS 2010) - just lock it up and open up post bubble- afterall everyone else will do the same

No.

But if it's a tourney i'm taking a shot at (as implied by topic title...), then the entry fee prob means a decent amount to me. I'd be happy to lock up a cash in this situation. We can focus on winning the thing after we've done that.

If you aren't going to play the tourney properly don't play it imo. If you have satted in take the $t.

If I qualified for the WSOP me, i am taking the money if available to me or I have satted/ bought in with the intention that the 10k isn't that important to me and I am playing for the win.

Okay so what about if yoy satted in for $500 and when you said Ill take the $$ please they told you this wasnt an option.

I know its not quite the same but if a min cash meant a chunk to you then what do you do here?

Tbh Stu I would never attempt to sat into WSOP for $500 these days if I couldn't take the cash.

I have found in the past that playing for money that makes me uncomfortable really effects my game, therefore my solution has been to never play a game that I am not ridic overrolled for. I am currently 1000 buyins deep for my avg stake on stars!

I am never playing a tourney to min cash, so am just pushing pretty close to cEV here.

Range= 33+, a10+,a8s+, kq, qjs+.

seems way too wide

Calling range is probably AQ+ 99+ So shoving 33 is the same as shoving 88 right? Could even be jj+ depending on the player, and others aa+, so many satalite players.

Ha ha

Okay let me rephrase

You seem to have developed a bit of a sleep walking issue

You wake up on de plane to Vegas, whilst youve been sleeping the last few months it appears you have been sleep grinding WSOP sats.

WTF?

Can you get off? NO
Can you get the $$? NO
How much have you spent to get in? $478.78

You get to your hotel room and think FML what the hell is going on and fall asleep.

When you wake up your on the bubble of the WSOP.

What to you do now?

We are playing 8bbs effective with antes taken into account. If you are folding 55, kqs and a10 here you are making pretty big mistakes regularly imo.

You are on the WSOP  pure bubble - you are going to lock up £20k, plus a 15k pca package, and whatever else, the table behind has a bloke with 1bb who is currently UTG.

You wake up with A2 and 10bbs and its folded to you in the SB but the BB has 1000 bbs and has told you he is calling any shove

You still jam?

Nah, I do a fold. Think its very, very different to walkign away form the computer for 10 minutes to lock up a mincash in this tournie. Also WSOP has a ridic clock so 10bbs in there when I'm on button next   >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> 13bbs in Sunday million with antes and a turbo structure.

^^^^^^^^^^ that has got nothing to do with it. Your "its a game line" is nonesense. Its a +ev shove so why you not making it?

yeh if you're gonna go for the "it's a game line" then you should be making the correct shoves in all spots. Folding A2 BoB in the ME would be a mistake if that is the way you're going to approach the tournament. However, if you're like me and every other low stakes grinder that miraculously finds themselves on the bubble of the ME then obviously you're going to fold the A2, wait one hand and lock up 20k.

Every players situation is different. You are of course right if you are talking to someone who plays a lot of these games and variance and all that evens out. In this case you can't just get your A2 in.

Yeah to quote someone on here, I want to play optimal, I don't want to engage in ICM suicide. I love the concept of poker as a game, doing the "right" thing with the intention of winning. Walking away from the computer just completely baffles me. If I get AK/1010+ I am fistpumping. I'm super happy that I have a good chance to double up. If I shove A2 and get called I'm never really happy, with his calling range we are flipping at very best.

Interesting convo- course money matters. Yes we play to win but you also play for $$$$

Sigh calling the Ironside one and getting really pissed off when the git hits his kicker.

Never ever folding it though in this comp.

If it was WSOP bubble I'd fold it 100% of the time. It just comes down to how much the min cash means and $20k means a lot more than $450.

Anyone saying it makes no difference is an idiot.

Does the fact that there's 3000+ people to be eliminated before we even hit a pay jump not make a difference here?

Obv in an STT play to win carries a lot of weight in bubble situations as there's so few players left and the pots can be a lot of the chips in play. In this comp however any pots we may win at this point do help, but they by no means guarantee us a better finishing position. We could so easily still min cash even if we double up. But by risking this we could also not cash at all. Folding might leave us slightly worse off after the bubble but a double up and we're right back in it - pretty much the same situation we're in now.

Prob worded that really badly but hopefully it makes some sort of sense...

Or putting it this way...

FOLDING
100% chance of $350 (what ho said mincash was)
100% chance of $tournamentev1

CALLING (and let's assume we're 70/30)
30% chance of $0
70% chance of $tournamentev2

So is 0.7 x $tournamentev2 a greater value than $tournamentev1. I'm not entirely convinced it is with this many runners.


And these last 2 posts aren't even considering the taking a shot aspect. Seems pretty clear cut to me.

this is a really funny spot. You have 15bbs (which was tourney ave from level 5 to finish pretty much). In your spot as you describe, I have no problem folding here (sigh folding obv). Given the nature of the quality of play and the fact people have cashed, there are going to be tonnes of random spews as soon as the bubble does burst.

So id fold here, and take similar spots (or less) once we have been paid

With AKcc against this maniac that is 3bet shoving lots etc? I'd think about folding AQ, I'd snap this off.

Why are we clashing him as a maniac? Yes he has 3 bet shoved on me a few times but never seen those hands, hands shown were against other players, I wouldn't have classed him as maniac just aggressive when in a hand

edit - it doesnt change my action because (playing as you) im folding

but AQ and AK play very similar anyway against what I would percieve to be a widening range the closer we get to the bubble

edit - ive just looked back - this is a much clearer fold with Banetta still in the hand and to act when he shoves - i had thought this guy was the CL prior to this

I don't think you can play massive field tourneys and regular tourneys the same imo

Don't think you can just say I'm playing ftw when there is 7k players left.

I would call, but don't blame anyone for folding.

I've got a mate who is a multi millionaire.

He folded KK in a similar spot in the WSOP main event, which totally gobsmacked me.
