have about 13 bigs last orbit i have jammed 4 times and got no action
you can easily fold to min cash what range would u jam with here
the cash is not significant but it s an nice sum of $$$

would u change ur range if it was significant money?

also 7450-3000 has no pay jumps

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.

Jamming 77+

Suited broadways.

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?

This.

Poker is a game, its all about winning, everything you do is about getting all the chips. Playing like this isn't poker, you should always play what you deem to be optimal.
