30+3 on bubble

yes

this might be an easy push A) because its easy and B) because im drunk, last drunk post of the night, sorry mom

can i guess offhand that any Ax shortstacked is a push? if so, does this apply on the bubble? that's what i'm really curious about. on the bubble, you play tight, but everyone else plays tight, so you should play loose [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]

i think with even stacks utg im folding A5 and below if not more, but this is just off hand and depends how big blinds are, but like others have said get SNG power tools so you can play with it and really get pooooshing mechanical

y didnt u reraise all in on the flop? with MPTK heads up against the SB i am pushing 136%

[Absalon]

136% of the time

does it matter he's the SB? i don't think his strategy really changes much for a few hundred more chips at this level.

you might want to think he is trapping by completing, but odds are he is a moron willing to give you 200 more chips. People complete all the time from the SB with crap hoping to get a free flop and either hit something or buy it. If he completes like this im pushing a lot of hands. I like to think any ace and king for sure

yeah, that makes sense i suppose.

one worry is that if he's big stacked, he'll call my push anyway, and odds are he'll bust me out (say he's 4x or so).

side question, i find it's very hard to get reads on players, since you rarely see their cards and i usually haven't played them before as well. and since late in game everyone is trying to steal usually anyway, if i use this power tools how do you go about rating the players? that really affects their hand range.

If you dont have reads its good to just try and use a "typical" range. What you normally expect until they give you reason to think differently. I 10 table and dont believe reads are really necessary at the 30s because most people are pretty bad.
