ICM tell me to push. Is it so good here ?

[danger_mouse]

You have too push. You have a half-way decent hand and perfect position. You will most often pick up the blinds uncontested.

[Ryendal]

I forget to say that I will have only the 100 blind on the next round, and not 150 wich let me some FE for the next round.
And try to accept the calling range. The ICM EV give exatly +0.5, take it as it is.

I regret that all replies give the same answer. Nobody fold here ?

[bennies]

I push here too, sorry... . I'll fold it from CO or if I had 100 more chips.

By the way, I think this is a perfect situation for the icm tool, I for one would bow my head and obey its suggestion [img]/images/graemlins/smirk.gif[/img]

do u have sng power tools? if so, do this exercise:

plug in the stacks if you do fold and act like it's the next hand...now hit the compute all button to get all ranges that are +ev for u to push...consider how likely it is you will get one of those cards next hand...then take some of the weaker ones it says and plug it in and hit compute to see if it's closer to 0.1% or .5%...try to find what hand u need to have a .5% or higher chance before the next time blinds hit u...

that'll give u an idea of the odds that u will find a higher +ev situation this game than the one u are in now

It's not so easy to imagine what hand I should have in the next few hands, and furthemore when there is variance on theses hand to appear or not.

[Nicholasp27]

well it will tell u that you can push the top x% of hands and be +ev...so if you find that after folding and blinds going up, you need a top 25% of hands to be +, then u know this hand is ur best bet to get a .5%+ ev push in there

[curtains]

Yes this is a very clear allin in almost every situation.

[Ryendal]

Ok, actually I push here, but I had big doubts, may be because I have been called to much etc ...
I needed this refresh.

I have the same problem in ITM. If I raise to much blinds, everybody take me for a maniac, and with some 0.5 +EV I will get called to much versus my A5o etc. May be I will post a more precise hand with 2500 stack for me and blinds at 300 in ITM...

[Nicholasp27]

if u feel they won't respect you as much, change their calling ranges to loose or maniacal

if u haven't pushed in awhile and seem tighter to them, tighten up their ranges
