KTs in BB vs SB push

[fjuanl]

3 table Sng. Villian is profitable tag. 18/15 with a steal percentage of 46% through 120 hands. I've played virtually no hands so far and the table is full of nits.

My gut said: If he's shoving close to atc, call.
SNGPT says: If he's shoving 30%, this is +0.2 to call.

TY sir, I just might have found a huge leak of mine.

Meaning that it's not profitable in the long run to call with KT? What requirements should we have here? PP and good aces?

I mean it is profitable to call against players who have any idea of what they're supposed to do (which is shove ATC). Against a profitable tagg this is a call every time. These values of course are strictly for this exact scenario and not completely (or in some cases, at all) applicable to other situations. With PPs and Ax I guess this is an instacall against everyone except the nittest of the nits. This is a bit of a surprise to me, I've played quite a bit tighter here before.

I think this relates also to 1-table SNGs just as well, although these situations (high blinds with several players left) don't come up very often.

Oh yeah, one important thing, does top 5 get paid?

[Clar17y]

I think this definitely applies to 1 table SnGs.

I've been playing a few $11 SnGs on party and it seems that everyone there knows to play tight enough to not go out until the blinds are at least 100/200 and you often find yourself with the blinds 100/200 and 7+ players left at the table.

If it folds round to button with 7 players left who pushes and you hold KTs is it a call then?
How do stack sizes affect your decision? Against a smaller stack i guess you would be more inclined to call as the blinds are worth more to him than a big stack, but what do you do if a big stack constantly tries to steal your blinds with all-in bets and you wake up with KTs?

I'm instacalling this against virtually all players.

I would most probably call against a button pusher with KTs in OP's position and stack size. Stack sizes really matter because if the pusher was the big stack and I was the second stack, I'd almost never all this.

whoops i forgot to mention there are still 2 tables left. and 5 pay.

[DetroitHusling101]

i call. Even an easier call knowing he's multitabling tag player. He knows he has to shove just about ATC here being BVB and both under 10bbs.

[DetroitHusling101]

I wonder what is the correct range to be calling here? Mine personally is any mid pp (probally 66+) and K10 , KJ , KQ , any ace. I don't think i call with Q10 , QJ , or J10 though which might (probally) be a leak. I just really hate QJ and Q10 , i love J10 but not really vs. a shove.

[Deanglow]

The fact that he is a winning player makes this easier. Call.
