SNG Quiz

[lastchance]

This quiz will be general, and it will also show huge flaws in your thinking if you answer incorrectly. Every good SNG player should answer every question here easily and correctly.

Hand 1:
UTG (t1000)
Button (t1000)
Hero (t3000)
BB (t3000)
Blinds are t300.
Standard 50/30/20 structure, Party tournament.

Folded to hero with AQo. BB is a very good 2+2er.

1) What's your play?
2) With what range do you move in?
3) What are you thinking when BB calls you?
4) You are now BB. With what range do you call here? (no reads on SB).
5) Assume you are button instead of SB. SB pushes, BB calls. How does this affect your equity? (AKA, is this series of events good or bad?)

General Questions:
6) There are more than 4 players in L5. How often are you limping?
7) Do you push often with J2o? Do you call often with J2o?

1) Easy push
2) Any two. Another 2+2er isn't going to call anything but top top hands here, since there are smaller stacks out.
3) "Uh oh. C'moooon luckbox."
4) Aces, MAYBE kings.
5) Good. I hope one of 'em busts.
6) Zero!
7) I push with J2o a ton. I call with it almost never.

(All assuming 50/30/20 payout)

What are the blinds and payouts? I can't answer those questions without that info.

[lastchance]

Payouts are standard. I noted Blinds already. Assume standard Party Structure.

lol first of all by ssaying that every good player will answer the question correctly meaning the same as you is arrogant and the belief that there is only one answer is categorically wrong. for example there are different good 2+2'ers that range in how they play that spot. but my answers...

1. i raise to 800
2. AK, TT-AA, aq wouldnt be bad.
3. umm anyways
4. no reads i call with JJ-AA, AK
5. Great
6. Limping sucks
7. i mean this should be self evident it all depends

OK I'll go for this, I haven't read any other answers. Let's hope I've not got too many huge flaws.......

1 Poosh
2 against a 2+2er any 2 and then show [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
3 shiiiit
4 QQ+ AK
5 sehr g00t
6 not very often, I like limping with AA sometimes
7 Do you mean any 2? if so yes and no

I disagree. These questions and answers are mostly based on ICM principles, which don't change just because you want them to.

Anyways, back on topic.

I'm with you, but I definitely add kings to my call in 4.

[tigerite]

1) Push.
2) Any two.
3) That unless he shows me a high pair, he's an idiot.
4) 99+.
5) It has to be good, because barring an unlikely split (which wouldn't affect my equity at all) I've just improved to at least 3rd, with a chance for 2nd.

6) To trap from EP with AA, or rarely with KK on an aggressive table, or very rarely with QQ on an extremely aggressive table. Otherwise, never.
7) When the situation calls for it, yes. Which is quite often. As for calling, only if a small stack pushes to me in the BB, and to call won't damage my stack to any significant amount, and I have pot odds to do so.

Pretty standard stuff.

I agree. I just did the math on it.
