I have been working on a tool to analyze open pushing in a MTT.
I of course make some simplifying assumptions, such as constant calling range, only one caller, etc. I dont think they are big enough problems that they take away from the usefullness of the analysis (the numbers arent exact, but probably give a correct push/fold signal 95% of the time). So here it goes. Schwza's original post I assume (rather generously) that your opponents will only call you with hands in which that have at least 50% equity, i.e. A8+, 22+. CEV Analysis Steal the Blinds 2250 % of time 56.5% subtotal 1271.082131 Showdown pot 21740 equity vs range 36.8% EV of showdown -1969.68 % of time 43.5% subtotal -856.957755 TOTAL CEV 414.1243757 $EV Current stack 9970 $EV $837.48 Current pot 2250 Steal success 12220 $EV $1,026.48 % of time 56.5% Showdown Pot 21740 equity 36.8% expected stack 8000.32 $EV $672.03 % of time 43.5% $ equity of push $872.27 $ equity of fold $837.48 $EV of push $34.79 So pushing this earns you 34$ over folding. To calculate $EV, I used a basic (% of total chips)*(money remainin). Questions, thoughts? |

I wish, Eastbay's tool is much more advanced than mine.
I would have purchased his a while ago if I was a regular SNG player, it is worth its weight in gold. I am working more on MTT situations, and figured I would learn more working through this stuff myself rather than just using someone else's tool. |

I think the model is interesting. Most players have a mental map that does a better calculation based on their perception of the situation at the table.
I think the calculation of $EV(expected chips after being called) is wrong. I think $EV(Win stack) + $EV(0 chips) >> $EV(expected chips) in any tournament with most of the money going to the higher places. Intuitively, if you have 15XBB versus 7XBB then you have choices: raising, folding, bluffing, calling. If you have 7XBB you only have one choice. If you have 15XBB you don't push a8suited. |

Your average online player does MUCH MUCH MUCH worse than an adequate structured model. I know very good players that make huge mistakes in open pushing situations. Sklansky wrote a while back, how most top pros play very far from optimal push or fold poker. I will be the first to admit that my model isnt perfect, but I will bet it is better than all but the very good players for push/fold situations.

I took Locutus' advice, and it made it a 90$+ push
$EV Current stack 9970 $EV $837.48 Current pot 2250 Steal success 12220 $EV $1,026.48 % of time 55.7% Showdown Pot 21740 $EV(win) $1,826.16 $EV(loss) $230.00 equity 36.8% $EV(called) $817.39 % of time 44.3% $ equity of push $933.89 $ equity of fold $837.48 $EV of push $96.41 |
