Title: Shoving Range here
Post by: AAroddersAA on December 05, 2013, 11:35:38 AM
PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, 2.5 Tournament, 125/250 Blinds 25 Ante (9 handed) - PokerStars Converter Tool from http://www.flopturnriver.com/

BB (t2,910)
Hero (UTG) (t1,805)
UTG+1 (t5,100)
MP1 (t5,165)
MP2 (t2,220)
MP3 (t2,545)
CO (t3,486)
Button (t5,935)
SB (t2,910)

Hero"s M: 3.01

Preflop: Hero is UTG with XX

Table is a normal $2.50 Table. A shove here could easily end up getting called by QT type hands in some spots.

What would your range be and why?

Anything connected; anything suited; any pair; any ace; any broadway hand.

With 7xBB, I really don"t like to let the blinds come through me, and with the general stack sizes, you have reasonably fold equity against most.

This really. Don"t fancy picking a spot with a 5x stack where I am more likely to get called so I am looking for an excuse to not shove. Don"t think I would shove just "anything suited" though. Our fold equity is not that great

i"m tighter than that I think - not a massive amount of FE difference between 5 and 7bb so I won"t be shoving any old crap from UTG.

Obv any Pair, prob any Ax, K9+, QT+ plus some suited connector hands

22+,A7s+,A5s-A2s,K9s+,Q9s+,J9s+,T9s,ATo+,KJo+

dependant of course on villain"s calling ranges, but going by your hunch of QT type hands calling with 8 to act behind...

all on how many players behind you think will call wider/looser than normal....

When my "M" falls to just 3 and my fold equity is less I"m either tightening up my range or looking for a later spot to jam. I reckon in that spot  I"d shove 66+, A8s+, ATo+, KTs+, KQo+. I don"t know if its optimal without looking up my charts and they re on my usb stick somewhere.
