Re: SB push with 53s ... stay with me
[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ] if he's a good player he'll probably call with any hand that's better, equal, or a little less in value than a random hand.. [/ QUOTE ] unless you've seen the guy do something like this before, i'm not giving a random player credit enough to make good borderline calls. No way do you get looked up here 60/70% of the time. 25%-30% is a lot closer. Examples of hands in the top 70%: T2s, J2s, 34s 35s 36s etc etc. Any pair, any ace, and broadway, a few extra random kings/queens. is like 30% of hands, aand i think is what i'd give to this player that we decided is 'good'. [/ QUOTE ] my thoughts exactly. he's not desperate enough to call with freaking ANY TWO, hands like 76s or something. probably something like top 25%-35% - any pair, any ace, most kings and queens, and some jacks and tens. |

Re: SB push with 53s ... stay with me
I push all the time here with good results. It's rare for me to see somebody call with less than A-high, a pair, or two broadway cards, and many players are even tighter than that, waiting for a pair or a medium/strong ace. Add in the times when 53s wins the pot and you're well in the black.
I hate folding around to a guy with a stack that small and calling will just entice him to push into you. I think you have to force him to make the call and then win the hand. |

Re: SB push with 53s ... stay with me
Most players overestimate their fold equity.
Villain only needs to be ~40% in the hand, and is in critical chip situation so may make calls with less than 40%. roughly Villain calls any suited, any ace,king,queen, 1/2 the jacks, tens down to t8, 9 down to 98. roughly 80% of his hands. Hero is only 40% against this range, substantially EV-. |

I doubt that, and villian isn't stupid enough to call with all suited trash hands. I mean, I think this was the best guy to steal from at the table. |

Re: SB push with 53s ... stay with me
A player with 4XBB left is the worst player at the table to steal from.
From villain's point of view, Folding 75% of the time is a terrible option when you have 4XBB left and your opponents range is likely j6++, but maybe much wider. |

Re: SB push with 53s ... stay with me
If he folds 37.5% of the time, then your bet is a break-even bet. If he folds more than that, then your bet increases your expected chip count. Otherwise, it's a loser.
Here's the math: chip counts Chips if folding: 6800 Chips if pushing and villian folds: 7400 Expected Chip Count if Called: 6440 [53s wins about 36% of the time against a combination of pairs and overcards. So if you push, your expected chip count is 6440: (.36*9000) + (.64 * 5000)] Fold Equity needed Solving x for this equation: 6800 = 7400x + 6440*(1-x), where x = fold equity x = 37.5% expected chip counts If villian folds 37.5% of the time: 7400 chips * 37.5% = 2775 chips 6440 chips * 62.5% = 4025 chips Total: 6800 chips (exact value if you fold this hand instead) If, instead, the villian folds 50% of his hands: 7400 * .50 = 3700 6440 * .50 = 3220 Total chips = 6920 chips outcome Let's say that he does fold 50% of the time. Then your outcome is: 50% of the time you will have 7400 chips 32% of the time you will have 5000 chips 18% of the time you will have 9000 chips So overall you gain a bit. |

Re: SB push with 53s ... stay with me
Let's suppose your numbers are correct, which they're not.
Villain has to fold 37% of the hands for hero to break even, or 453 hands out of 1225 possible hands. Villain would have to fold about 98s to make it break even for hero, not reasonable for villain to fold this much. As villain's calling range incresaes, so does hero chances of winning rise to about 40%. |
