SnG hand quiz

[hansarnic]

Some interesting (I think) PF decisions I’ve faced recently. All at Party $50s.

I tend to multi-table so rare for me to get good reads. What do ppl think is the right move in each case?


Hand 1
Blinds 100/200 6 left.
UTG (500) pushes, then CO pushes (1200).
You have 99 in the BB and about 2300 after posting.


Hand 2
Blinds 50/100 7 left
UTG (2000) limps (has done it before without a monster).
You are UTG+1 with 88 and 800 left.


Hand 3
Blinds 100/200 5 left
Button pushes for 525 (he has been blinding away till now).
Three other equal big stacks. SB pushes.
You are BB with 600 after posting and 84s.


Hand 4
Blinds 15/30 10 left
UTG+1 (1000) opens for 150.
Folded to you (800) with TT on the button.


Hand 5
Blinds 100/200 4 left
You have about 2000, UTG is about 1400, Blinds cover you.
Folded to you on button with A3o.


Hand 6
Blinds 100/200 5 left.
Folded to SB (3000ish) who min-raises you. 3 other stacks about equal with you.
You have 1500 after posting and 33 in BB.


Hand 7
Blinds 250/500 Heads up
SB has 3400 left after posting, has folded his SB a couple of times but other than that has played typically aggressive heads-up. He pushes.
You have QJs.


Hand 8
Blinds 25/50 8 left
Loose MP makes it 150 (2000ish), button (about same) re-raises to 500.
You are in BB with JJ and 800.


Hand 9
Blinds 50/100 7 left.
You open from CO with AJs for 275 (1400 left after raising).
SB pushes for about 900, BB folds.


Hand 10
10 left, blinds 15/30.
4 limpers to you on button with 87s. You call.
SB completes, BB makes it 250.
Three callers to you. You have 900, 220 to call into 1000 pot, all opponents on roughly 1000.

5 fold
6 I lean more towards folding here, but maybe call &ck/fold the flop
7 call
8 fold
9 fold
10 fold

Do I win? [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

(edit: I answered these in about 10 seconds each to simulate multitabling conditions)

[jojobinks]

am i weak/tight?

1. fold
2. push
3-5. fold
6. fold or push. i guess fold, with no read.
7. fold
8. fold
9. call
10. fold

these mostly look like situations that seem better than they actually are imo.

[El Maximo]

Without and reads and having no experience at the 50s here are my answers:

1. Fold
2. ?? - In a later position I push. Not sure what I would do with so many to act after me. Im leaning towards folding.
3. Fold
4. Fold
5. Fold
6. Fold
7. Your behind a loose raiser here. But its close. I fold and pick a better spot.
8. Fold
9. Fold
10. Fold preflop and fold to raise

That 10 folds for me.

[MikeyEdge]

1. Fold. Have to fold this to raise and you'll be out of position the rest of the way. UTG may move all-in behind you.

2. Limp. I think I limp here and try to see a cheap flop. If some raises for LP then I move all-in.

3. Fold. You are way behind here. If you get a good hand in the SB move all-in. If not you have a full orbit to try to get 500 in to double up.

4. Call. Tough decision here, but I think I call and see what the flop brings and if the raisers bets out or not.

5. Raise. I would make it something like 600 to go.

6. Call. Try to flop that set. I don't think I'd be willing to push here.

7. Fold. If he is typically unaggresive I fold this and put him on an Ace. I'd wait for a better spot to get all of your chips in.

8. All-In. You have a lot of options here, but since this quiz is so long I feel like gambling. Move all-in.

9. Fold. He has at least an A-Q here and you still have plenty of chips left if you fold.

10. Call. See what the flop brings. If you can catch here you may bust a player or two. I certainly wouldn't push all-in.

[Madd]

I don't play the 50s yet, so take my answers with a grain of salt.

1) Fold
2) Push
3-5) Fold
6-7) Call
8) Push (?)
9-10) Fold

How did I do?

[assron]

1. fold

2. fold, too many players left to be pushing 88 from UTG+1, you'll find a better opportunity

3. ouch... tough fold, I might call if I think I have no chance to win without the chips on the table, but I'd probably see if I couldnt get a better hand in the next orbit to 2x up on since nobody's gonna fold.

4. Fold

5. Push, Push, in the Bush.

6. Fold, I hate 22-55, and it's really hard to get a read on a flop if you call. Push if you really like gambling, but I wouldnt.

7. QJs is probably a much more playable hand than the one he's pushing at you, but you're a dog to any Ax/Kx/pair and you gotta think that's what he's shoving in your face. He easily could have AQ/KQ/AJ/KJ in which case you're in a world of hurt. Then again, you can end it right then and there, and have a hand that gets the job done fairly often. I'd make this call about 40% of the time, all dependent on the opponent and whether I felt I could school him if I missed the KO.

8. ouch. tough fold. hate that. Sucks worse too b/c you might be up in the hand, but do you really want a JJ vs AK/AQ flip at this point?

9. I'd call... if you lose, you still have 700 chips, which doesnt at all hurt your folding equity on pushes. You can easily make back all these chips in steals. If you win, however, you're six handed with a stack that will let you control the table.

10. I'd call every time. With that many callers, you're most likely even money with the field to win the hand, but the difference is that if you hit your hand, you're almost certain to be paid off huge, whereas if they hit their hands, you're not paying them a cent.

[Awesemo]

1. call
2. push
3. fold
4. fold
5. unless the blinds are tricky i'd raise to 500
6. push
7. call
8. fold
9. i think this might be a pot odds justified call, it's close between calling and folding.
10. i wouldn't limp in the first place.

Wow, you all fold this? Pls explain why, as i think this is a call:

1. UTG is about to get blinded down to 200. He could have virtually anything.

2. CO will therefore play a lot of hands here. Pairs lower than 9s and AK/Q/J I think.

3. If I beat both I am the big stack and very well placed as we are bubbling.

4. Losing to UTG but beating CO is obviously no problem.

5. Losing to CO is bad, but I still have a playable stack.

So worth the gamble I think, but clearly you all disagree [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]
