One hand

[jimmy44]

Hi guys,

Was this play -EV? I don't have SNGPT so I cannot test it myself ...
Something that I just tought of now is that if the villain's stack was not bigger then mine I guess this was +EV, am I wrong?

Don't show the results of the hand! It makes it look like a bad beat post (gotta love the runner runner after you hit your Q though )

        	equity (%)  	win (%)	tie (%) 
Hand  1:	69.8750 %  	69.33% 	00.55%      { AsQh }
Hand  2:	30.1250 %  	29.58% 	00.55%      { KdQd }

At a $5.50, I think the push is fine. You have good fold equity, and if you're called you will often see a bunch of hands that you beat (Ax where x<Q, KT-KQ, maybe even QJ) and with either UTG or UTG+1's dead chips in the pot (assuming that one of them folds) even if you're up against a pocket pair lower than QQ you're getting more than the right price to flip.

BTW, SNGPT can't analyse this for you, you need SNG Wizard. I ran this through it and this push is +EV unless opps are very tight which is almost never the case in a $5.50.

Thanks for the answer taipan!

I guess unconsciously, I wanted to hear that I did the right play and I had a bad beat ... I'll not post the hands results in the future!

BTW, where can I have a look at SNG wizard? I've googled it but I cannot find anything ...

Thanks!

SNGPT can analyse any hand where you either open push all-in or call an all-in. SNGPT cannot analyse hands where you are pushing over somebody else's raise or limp whilst SNG Wizard can. Plus the SNG Wizard interface is also a bit nicer.

There was a post on 2+2 that set the differences out - link here
