$55 - Two all-ins that might be very wrong

First one I feel pretty good about. Both blinds are tight (VPIP less than 20), and I have not pushed before, nor have I played with them before this tourney, so they don't think I'm pushing a wide range. It's +0.5% in SNGPT if I put them both on 88+, ATs+, AJo+ and I would be surprised if they call with more.

This one I'm not so sure of. Actually, I felt very bad about it. [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img] If I put everybody at 88+, ATs+, AJo+ again, it's +.3% in SNGPT. IF that's their callrange, it's an OK push. At this moment at the table everybody is playing tight push/fold poker. I've seen the guy to my left making calls with 77 and KQo, but the 77 was vs a guy who went all-in every hand, and the KQo vs a short stack. Besides that nothing extraordinary. So the table is tight, but is it tight enough??! [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

1st one is marginal, I think. 9%/10% ranges, whilst not out of the question for 20% VP$IP players, is something rather close to their actual ranges, and the EV is probably pretty thin here. I think I'd pass.

2nd one is actually better I think - 7/10/10. You have a position that will be more respected than the button also. There is, though, one thing I do not like about this - the BB. He's got 3.4k. It's a close one, but a better push than (1).

Thanks tigerite. I do believe the blinds were tight enough in the first hand. In the second hand the BB called with AK. Nothing you can do. [img]/images/graemlins/smirk.gif[/img]
