    Default Using SnG Wiz HU - Question

    Poker Stars $3.00+$0.40 No Limit Hold'em Tournament - t200/t400 Blinds + t25 - 2 players - View hand 1222432

    Hero (BB): t7382 M = 11.36
    BTN/SB: t6118 M = 9.41

    Pre Flop: (t650) Hero is BB with Q J
    BTN/SB raises to t6093 all in, Hero calls t5693

    I've recently bought SnG Wiz.. Before that I used to analyze many hands with nash HoldemResources.net: ICM Nash Calculator.. which is a great tool but not as good as SnG Wiz of course..

    Now it's time to correct my nash leaks with SnG Wiz.. I also used HUD now but srr that I don't have any reads/stats on this villain cuz I forgot to marked this hand during my play..

    Anyway, so let's just assume that villain tends to be an unknown tighter player.. Using SnG Wiz I'll put villain here on 31.80% pushing range (22+, A2+, K7+, K3s+, QT+, Q9s+, JTs+).. so SnG Wiz says I can only call 15.50% which is 44+ A7+, A5s+, KQ, KJs+..

    So in this case my QJo was a fold.. but what I would like to know is: Can you really fold 33,22 and any Ax here? I mean I thought during this high blinds HU any ace, any pair is a "monster".. ??

    Of course I think I should follow SnG Wiz here but just wanted to have a 2nd opinion cuz I used to call any A and any pair HU 200/400 or higher.. and like I said need to fix my nash leaks..

    Any advice is appreciated..

    Given the range you have put your opponent on, he doesn't have hands we dominate often if we call with A2-A6. He isn't shoving K2-K6o, so we only dominate suited kings and lower aces. I would say most players won't make much distinction between K3s and K3o, so your range is a little incorrect IMO. Still, he probably doesn't shove hands like K3o or K3s much.

    It's pretty standard that you can fold the lowest PPs in this spot. I might choose to fold my worst aces based on how aggressive he is, but I'm felting most of them.

    You mean to say a bit too loose? If yes, I agree.. It's because of the "wiz hand range tool"

    Oh didn't know that.. so major bad habit fixed (the low pp's).. thx for that ..

    run some numbers vs ranges and it should be fairly clear low PPs and weak Ax are never monsters.

    quick example, 22 is a dog vs 30%.
