does it have specific examples / scenarios similar to my questions that I can compare them with (exact ranges for a variety of different situations)? couldnt find a free pdf so want to look that up first

yeah normally it's never a raisefold vs big but I thought strong ICM pressure could make it a raisefold

so many shorties though, shouldnt this change things? would I even have to shove this in similar situation if we were at the final table?

he's 3xing when your stacks are as above.

Id range him as oftenly having midpairs 66 77 88 TT (JJ)

and weaker stuff than your hand like AJ, AT, KQ, KJ, QJ

while occasionally he's also gonna have QQ AK KK AA 99 for whatever reason.

with midpairs he's protecting if he thinks of bad postflop playability (and thinks theyre to weak to shove outright with his stack).

with his broadway hands he wants to scare you off 3betshoving as he sees every single player behind him having a reshoving stack < 25 BB. He may not want to raisefold (or openshove) these hands with his stack.

for three bigs pre the price to go postflop is worse for you, so 3betshoving is better. youre shoving for max 20bigs effectively. going postflop to hit isnt optimal, youll miss in 2/3 cases.

he expects you to oftenly miss this flop so he can be bluffshoving a lot here. youve two overs to most of his pairs, thus the odds you get arent that far off even against that part of his range. altogether it's a call.

On rare occasions when your decision is very close, you may want, for the sake of getting a valuable read, choose the one which makes your opponent reveal his hole cards to you.

If he's betting on the river, you call, and if you're considering betting or checking back yourself, you go to showdown.

this reminds me of a recent hand of phatpots who considered betting KT and opponent revealed A9. That read is worth so much more than if we bet and he folds or every once in a blue moon calls.

Im in the SB with 10bigs, avg is like 13 bigs, other table has three players with 4-9 bigs and we're 11 / 2000 players left.

How wide should I shove vs recreg here who has 6.41 bigs in the big blind? 100%?

question 1) in normal ICMish situation
question 2) for GG with blind rollback

I limp here to get a feeling for if he's bad and will allow me to limp then mincbet my trash.

same situation like before, 10 / 2000 players left, other table with three 4-7 big blind stacks, avg stack around 10 bigs.

Ive 10 bigs and KJs in CO.

what's the play? I choose to raisefold.

question 1) normal ICMish situation
question 2) GG situation with blind rollback that will set the average to around 40 bigs.

10/2000 players left, avg stack around 10 bigs, on other table another three 4-7 big blind stacks.

Ive 3.67 bigs and assumed to have loads of fold equity to my shove from the SB,

as weve been playing the final table bubble for a century and it felt like no one was willing to call off another player lightly.

question 1) normal ICMish situation, shove KQoff?

question 2) here on GG we'll get a blind rollback that will set the average stack to around 40 bigs, shove KQoff?

there's also the effect of maany opps playing yolo getting it in when they cover you, so there's maaaassive chipEV for you

and a ton of future situations you can take for mystery bounties whose average may increase or decrease, but is expected to stay the same.

I dont know how weak you really want to call off when you cover people, since I havent found any reliable source on that yet (havent really searched too), but I used a technique to value mysteries in chips in the few mysteries I played and sensible future game considerations

@rick

A jam would look so stroong to a recfish

He called A9 on the turn, doubt he'll get into the sizing on river and put us on bluff if we bet more (rather the other way around, more inclined to call a smallish bet)

AT he also has. TX with weak kickers will rather be fewer suited combos.

Would you keep barelling the bluffy hands you listed into two players, SB and BB, on the turn after also seeing the flop 4way? How much you expect it to achieve?

so anything that makes you as relaxed as possible about it, best case just having a ton of wins and money already. ^^

yeah had same experience. takes fresh mind and spirit that isnt cluttered by previous experiences (except one wants to accept the possibly negative impact consciously and play anyway),

and kind of an non-attachment to the outcome, like not desiring the ft too hard, so it's beneficial when one can view it as one of a thousand equal situations that will happen and then this single instance doesnt matter anymore at all but it's just about the hopefully reasonable fusion of all of them.

so kind of approaching it from the getgo as "now grind 1000 such situations" and bring the spiritual setup of mind, energy and all that is needed aligned to achieve that

It can feel both ways, pointless and not pointless, and we can even choose what feelingsense to allow (feeling preceding path) (there are exceptions). Pointless the sense of abyss, pointfull the filled abyss.

True, spirit is like a chipstack. When you win chips you win spirit. You're a soul eater. Imagine all the soul you eat when you win an mtt. So much soul that moves in you.

Thanks I send her the energy through a channel hopebelieve she receives it 😃

there's a girl in this world who's really confident that the universe gives you another chance so we may as well believe her if she's thaaat confident 😃

it's not punishment imo,

it's take a second, connect with a new, more right way to see these spots, rewire, and dive in again.

maybe walk on a mountain to detach from poker.

nothingness expands into an abyss through its innate gravitational force like the universe is ever expanding, filling it with water or fire you can swim like in the ocean or burn like a comet, but nothing is as frightening as gradually dissolving in infinite darkness and emptiness until the last bit of your soul faded away forever.

what? who? me? it's just a flag

I paid out much, gg is fine

There's no normal variance in a game that intersects with the paranormal,

randomness manifests itself in matter through spirits in universe on the edge of energetical disturbances.

Variance is paranormal.

Mindish mathematical rules structure randomness in infinity but in finite realizations outcomes are unexplainable, absurd and deserving of vision that goes beyond any mind

It was dust and bones ^^

It's just the pokergod, the universe

randomness, luck and how things go is absurd and can feel really weird.

Me now trying to be Icm aware, new final table, thinking I will carefully pick my spots and..

You gotta increase your chances, have rituals, sacrifice goats, stuff like that

In vacuum Id go with A5 / A7 + and in 2nd spot 97 +

but Id have a more clear idea of my opps by that moment anyway and then deviations in both directions are probable

@qtang

it's obviously never a fold against population on these limits, I just like to build a clear idea of my opponents when playing, of what theyre doing and what to expect

the bet sizing we choose does really matter though, besides how strong, weak, weird or confusing it looks,

as we may be pot committed of course, but our two opponents have much greater stacks and they have to consider how the hand is going to play out between them. lj having to call pot is completely different than lj having to call half pot when hj is left to act.
