Just started playing $109s. Two bubble HHs for dissection.

And hell yes the KJ is a very, very obvious fold

[mlagoo]

well shoot, i guess i'm wrong about the KJ.

i still call the A9. I put his range at somewhere around 55+, Ax, KT+, QT+, and SCs down to T9 or so. Like I said, no ICM, but intuitively we seem to be ahead of that range. Not to mention the fact that if we're behind, we can always suckout, which is always fun.

This is a great reason to call pushes. Please continue to do so.

I was just going to tell you that your wide calling range probably was a big leak in your game, but then I ran the ICM calc:
Hand 1: 49.7891 % [ 00.45 00.05 ] { AA-55, AKs-A2s, KQs-KTs, QJs-QTs, JTs, T9s, AKo-A2o, KQo-KTo, QJo-QTo }
Hand 2: 50.2109 % [ 00.46 00.05 ] { As9d }

$EV fold: 0.2081
$EV call/win: 0.3549
$EV call/lose: 0.0687
-------------------
$EV call: 0.212

I still think it is a mistake to make this call as 50% of the time you will lose your chances to make the +$EV situations that will arise in the next few hands amd I guess those will be worth more than the 0.0039 you gain by this call.

Against this range, SGA says it's close enough that folding and calling are both reasonable.

Against 22+,A2s+,A3o+,KTs+,KJo+,QJs, it's a (close) fold.

Interesting....

2359449479 - K4o UTG+1 - borderline - can see a push here, but I suppose with 8BB you can wait a little bit, if you choose to.

2359458110 - K7s UTG - I think this has to be a push. But I guess with the blinds having just gone up people may see it as a desperation move, I dunno.

2359463821 - 75o UTG+1 - Again, borderline, case can be made for a push because of your huge FE

2359467541 - Ugh, A9o, probably not quite good enough to call with. But must be close. I however would also fold it.

2359471469 - UTG+1 76o - I think this is a push because the blinds are about to go up, as well as the big FE you have.

2359472791 - UTG T3o - I wouldn't push this, as you also didn't, as you're UTG and blinds have just gone up, more likely that someone will "look you up".

Why no push on this hand. You pushed the previous 2 hands. Is this just a table image decision where you feel you are much more likely to be called on the 3rd push in a row?
