Title: Don't normally play turbos Post by: jjandellis on February 04, 2013, 11:23:22 PM I don't normally play turbos and it appears people let their stacks get shorter before shoving...I don't know if this is a fair assumption??
Anyway couple of scenarios I found myself in, that are pretty simple in a normal/deep tourney but found a little strange in this one. Hand 1 I'm about 17/55/2716 Poker Stars $4.00+$0.40 No Limit Hold'em Tournament - t7000/t14000 Blinds + t1750 - 8 players - View hand 2089889 (http://www.handconverter.com/hands/2089889) DeucesCracked Poker Videos (http://www.deucescracked.com/?referrer=converter_dc) Hand History Converter (http://www.handconverter.com) UTG+1: t148246 M = 4.24 MP1: t125992 M = 3.60 MP2: t103255 M = 2.95 CO: t99978 M = 2.86 BTN: t162662 M = 4.65 Hero (SB): t129496 M = 3.70 BB: t158807 M = 4.54 UTG: t92293 M = 2.64 Pre Flop: (t35000) Hero is SB with Th Td UTG raises to t33000, 5 folds, This is screaming monster hand to me. Action? EDIT: Villain PFR/VPIP is 6/6 (although tbh sample is only ridic small 15 hands) Hand 2 Now sitting 14/29: Poker Stars $4.00+$0.40 No Limit Hold'em Tournament - t10000/t20000 Blinds + t2500 - 8 players - View hand 2089896 (http://www.handconverter.com/hands/2089896) DeucesCracked Poker Videos (http://www.deucescracked.com/?referrer=converter_dc) Hand History Converter (http://www.handconverter.com) CO: t296992 M = 5.94 BTN: t444876 M = 8.90 SB: t73978 M = 1.48 BB: t188662 M = 3.77 Hero (UTG): t212661 M = 4.25 UTG+1: t138807 M = 2.78 MP1: t251875 M = 5.04 MP2: t139034 M = 2.78 Pre Flop: (t50000) Hero is UTG with Th Ahrt Shove or fold? * I actually realise now after this that my was 4.25 - and bottom of my shoving range is usually AQ - so thinking I may have made a mistake with this one. Thoughts? Title: Re: Don't normally play turbos Post by: mondatoo on February 04, 2013, 11:28:12 PM Not folding

Sometimes they have it unfortunately. Get it in.
H2: Shove with this hand and 10bb. Title: Re: Don't normally play turbos Post by: MC on February 05, 2013, 11:26:39 AM Yeah #1 you run into it sometimes but never folding. Hand #2 is an easy shove.
