He called me with Jack high!
title=catch
To do well in Sit n Go's we need to play well when the blinds go up and know how to push. How do we know when to push? " <font color="green">By the ability to put the opponent on a calling range</font> " - quote, Mr. Raptor517. So help me out with the standard calling ranges for the average Party 55 player.

Scenario 1
If this thread gets going, I figured people could add more scenarios. I'll start out,
Scenario 1: 4 people, equal stacks (2500 each), blinds 200/400. Hero is CO. What are the calling ranges of Button, SB and BB? My guess: Button: 88+, AJ+ SB: 77+, AT+ BB: 44+, A6s+, A8o+, KQ. What do you think? |

Re: He called me with Jack high!
DEPENDS!!!!!
When it is 4 handed and there is a short stack (3x BB or less), you can push with any 2 if u are chipleader-- because people don't want 4th. However, people DO get fed up and start calling you w/ A6o or QT with the 2nd largest stack in this scenario (BIG MISTAKE)-- and this should make your pushing range tigher (not by much). If you are raping someone's BB when it is 6 handed, they WILL get fed up and call you w/ A9o or even KQ-- it ALL depends on the player and situation... If you could figure out their calling range, then you could 16 table the $55's and easily make $100/hr-- even raptor hasn't gotten up to 16 tables @ the $55's. |

Scenario 2
another example...
Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t200 (4 handed) converter SB (t1720) BB (t2330) UTG (t4340) Hero (t1610) Preflop: Hero is Button with X[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], Y[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]. <font color="#666666">1 fold</font> Let's say Hero has an average image (some stealing but not abundantly), what calling ranges do we put SB and BB (average Party 55 players) on? My guess: SB: 88+, AT+ BB: 88+, AT+ |

Re: Scenario 2
$22 table (last night)
4 left, basically all equal stacks, I had been short but caught up by pushing everything without a call. I knew one guy was getting annoyed and wanted to spite call me. Sure enough I'm UTG w/ AQ and he called w/ 3 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 4 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] He called w/ 4 high! FWIW, he won the hand and knocked me out. |

Re: Scenario 1
Not only buy-in dependent, but read dependent. We can go with the "standard 55er" read for the three opponents, but how do they see us? Have we been pushing a lot? Fairly quiet? Even with relatively unobservant opponents, our previous behavior has a huge effect specifically on push calling ranges.
If we assume that we've been following the "standard 2+2" pushbot strategy so far, those calling ranges seem pretty reasonable, though maybe slightly broad for all three (I have a hard time seeing most BBs calling here with 44, for example). |
