Last 4 in $12/180: A6o in BB against LAGG

[taipan168]

The big stack on the button was LAGGing it up, as you might expect. Shove over here or wait until the (slightly) shorter stack busts out? Difference in payout between 4th and 3rd in one of these is approximately $150 vs $230 (with first prize paying just under $600).

how tight is the shorty? If he's not showing any aggression, I call. If he's trying to double up, I fold and shove wide as hell whenever the big stack isn't in the hand.

Shorty is squeaky tight. Problem is that he's to my right so and the big stack is LAGGing it up so it's a bit hard for me to shove into him without the big stack being in the hand...

Well, I get it in and load up another.

SB's M=2 which means that he will be blinded out in two orbits. I wait till he goes all in. +$80 in just two orbits isn't bad!

Interesting, I ran this in SNG Wiz and assuming that Button calls my shove 100% of the time once he has raised, shoving over is -EV even if he's raising ATC.

that is interesting...

guess i need to update my ICM play.
