50% of the prize pool goes to 1st place - so example 1 I"d jam.
The button has open raised 7 out of the last 10

My thoughts too. Jam Example 1 as there are so many hands he just can"t call with, and jamming means the tighty in the BB can"t play unless he has a monster. A3 is going to be ahead of the button"s range so much of the time.
Example 2: Actually I would fold. I would want to avoid the horrible situation where I connect with the flop and end up all in against the button... lose the side pot and get knocked out, but see the shortstack win the small main pot and get to HU.

This thread has convinced me there is still value in 1 table sng`s.

As recently as 6 months ago I could make a decent return on these on Stars.... but it"s getting so damned hard now.
shozboy1:
although I haven"t invested in it it would be worthwhile plugging it into SNG wizard and seeing if each situation is + or -EV. i would easily fold hand 1 and call hand 2 and hope to check it down
Swinebag:
first hand I jam. A3o probably plays ok against his range here and oppo is folding enough times to make this profitable.
second hand - errrr??? If I had more chips than villain, I"d jam again. But we dont so I wont. I"d fold here to preserve my chips for the HU battle.
These are both maths decisions though. Any takers to spew the figures out??
noble1:
u got the chip counts right AMRN ? 13500 chips in play in std 9 handed turbo..
Anyhows if i stick the extra on , this what i think -
hand 1 only push - 88+ ATs+ AJo+
hand 2 only push - 77+,A7s+,K9s+,QTs+,JTs,ATo+,KJo+,QJo hand 2 i give a push range of around 14to15% as i think u have far more fold equity..
hand1 i added an extra 1000 chips to the button , if he is a reg i"d expect him to raise around 40% , your equity is to high to push to wide unless u have a good idea of villains call range here..if he is a reg then i"d expect him to call with about 1/2 this range so A3o is a NO NO imho.. Even if i add no chips for hand1 to u or villain i"d still expect BTT to open around 40% of his range but with your equity the push range is still narrow imo around 7%
A3o versus a 20% call range [so he folds 50% of range]
Ac3s - 41.288%
66+,A4s+,K8s+,Q9s+,J9s+,T9s,A9o+,KTo+,QTo+ - 58.712%
so if he is playing correctly [imo] then opening his top 40% would not be to surprising to see 7out of 10 raises on the button short handed.
