I guess sometimes you need to switch format
Hi all,
My previous blog is now inactive, I have moved from cash games to donkaments.
The catalyst for my move was a super hot stretch of variance where I won two tournaments back to back, and since then the large prizepools relative to buyin have been too tempting.
As a former cash micros player, I think I my strengths are postflop play, with disadvantages being ICM (new to this) and preflop ranges at super short stacks, i.e 15bb shove/call ranges.
Here are my results so far across all aliases:
I'm definitely a sun-runner in this recent sample, of that I'm aware.
I'm making this post mostly due to having no-one to talk poker with or share results with.
And in the spirit of improving at the game, I will also post a spot I do not know if I shouldve found a fold.
This is a satellite where 5 get paid. Steep bubble with 7 left.
I would snap fold KK here, but do I fold AA also? If I win this 80-20 I will get the ticket. If I had 20bb id snap fold.
Is this a massive ICM punt? I have not ran the hand, I'm just guessing.
Spoiler
My goal is mostly to just improve and move up. I'll try make some valuable strategy posts after some study sessions, since in tournaments im not worried at all about edge (lol that I didnt want to share at 25 and 50nl).
I'll be updating every so often, at least once a month.
GL to you all on the tables.

yes AA are an insta muck in a satty - its the same thing as having KK's - right ur pretty much GTD a seat - whats the point of playing anything?
im not just saying this - its actually the correct strat
seems quite close with 2 left to bust with stack sizes, it may be a stackoff with AA, you’d need to run it in icmizer
Thanks for the replies, I will run the hand, but what do people suggest, icmizer or hrc ?
I decided to go with HRC, it looks like AA is literally the only profitable call if I ran it right!
It was not a punt!
The big stack CO should jam very wide according to this, I am new to this software so take it with a grain of salt
