    Default Please take the time to read this post.

    If it is folded to you these are the deciding factors for pushing

    In order of importance
    1) Your stack size
    2) Number of players still in the tournament
    3) Number of Players left to act
    4) The other player's calling ranges
    5) Your cards

    If you have a question about push folding, please please dont look at the results and then ask based off of that.

    Your question on push folding should be governed first by answering the questions above, and asking the forum if your answers to the questions above were the correct ones in the said situation.

    For instance
    Hand Number: 229,016,668
    Table Number: 2,944,550
    Event Name: Sit & Go Table Korshak (#2074209)SNHB
    Game: No Limit Hold 'em
    Level V: 100/200 Blinds (25 Minimum Chip)
    Average Stack: 5,000 (1,000 starting chips)
    Remaining Players: 2 (10 started)
    Seat 5 : kcknockuout starts with 8,625
    Seat 6 : thirteen starts with 1,375
    Seat 5 : kcknockuout has the dealer button
    >>>DEALING HOLE CARDS<<<
    thirteen dealt down Js As
    kcknockuout posts the small blind 100
    thirteen posts the big blind 200
    kcknockuout calls 100
    thirteen raises 1,175 to 1,375 and is all-in

    1) You have less than 10xBB. What does this mean? It means that you are in push or fold mode and should generally only consider pushing or going all in.
    2) You are heads up. What does this mean? It means that you should tend to be more aggressive
    3) It is headsup so there is only one more person that has cards. What does this mean? It means that you only have to worry about one person!
    4) What is his calling range? Is he super tight? Is he super loose? Is he rilla?
    5)You have AJ in this sitation. What does this mean?

    After answering these quetions you can come up with a suitable answer for the pushing situation. Lets say in this situation you say " I can push" becuase of 1 2 3 4 and 5.

    What if after you answer the 5 quetions you cant come up with a good conclusion on whether or not to push, then you ask the forum. By aswering these questions first, it makes you think about the process as opposed to just memmorizing, Push this, fold that, fuck this, fuck that.

    I hope this post makes some sense.

    payout structure counts too! doesn't really apply in your example, but it usually does.

    i assumed everyone played 50 30 20, but yes its different for multitable SNGs. It goes somehwere on that list, but, as to where, I dont know.

    That's a part of #2.
    Up my bankroll - buy Saints Row.
  5. #5
    Down almost 7-1 I'm pushing literally any two cards.
  6. #6
    heres a hint
    depending on the size of hte blinds, you should be pushing any 2 regardless.

    "READ THIS POST"

    Im just posting to say that I haven't read this post becuase of the title.

    Maybe if you said "You should highly consider reading this post." or "Would you please do yourself a favor and read this post?" I woulda read it.

    You mean to say you don't consider # of players left in tourney much? Thought you were a big fan of bubble agression...

    Bleh, the whole list is gay. They all run so close in consideration that I've never assigned value to them.

    It's like IF it's the bubble, and you're stack is 10 bets, and there are 3 players left, and they call with xx+, Then you can push with this.

    I don't think there is an order of importance.

    The lower your stack size, the less important the rest of the factors are.

    The fewer people there are after you, the more you can get away with, the less mistakes you can make based on calling ranges.

    I think theres a difference...
    but o well.

    i agree with rilla, they all kind of go together, i don't think they should be put into some certain order. another thing you forgot to mention is the stack size of your opponents is important too
  15. #15
    Other factors:

    Blind size
    Your table image

    Stack size is blind size
    VQ Wrote "Your stack size ". If you have a stack of 2000 chips your behaviour is different if the blinds are 15/30 or 200/400.
