AMT PUSH $38 Turbo Vid
Review: AMT PUSH $38 Turbo Vid: The Understanding You Fold Equity Video
Understanding your fold equity versus each stack size is CRUCIAL throughout the tourney.
10/20 Early:
*Tight is right early
*Min raising is not good – almost never and definitely not at this level. You’ll see who the weaker players are.
- Make notes on players. There is no substitute for solid reads.
- Limp 66 from UTG+1 in first blind level for set value. 73A monotone board – checks through and folds. Early in SNG play draws passively and for pot control.
- Min- betting, min- stabbing, and all that will widen callers’ ranges.
Middle 50/100:
- 50/100 starts the mid-game.
- Continue with tight in middle. Hands like AT, AJ, KQ are folds sometimes if you’re in a delicate situation with your tournament equity. Example: even with 13/14BB.
- 66 from MP is a fold with 12BB. Table was playing very loosely so we couldn’t expect them to fold ever.
- 75/150 level is still middle. You’ll see more open-pushing. You’ll see loose pushing.
- Fold the bottom of your range sometimes with awkward stack size to preserve fold equity for later.
- A7s is not a good enough hand to shove over 2 limpers. Some higher suited aces are – ATs+
- Open-complete @ 75/150 level indicates a weak player.
- A8s as 2nd stack on bubble was a fold.
- Usually bubble is @ 400 blind levels.
- It’s important to recognize when you have rapidly diminishing fold equity. For example, when BB has less than 5 BB you probably don’t have much fold equity. Players should open up completely with <3BB, but most do it at 5BB.
- Head up, K7o is plenty good enough to push with 11BB.
- A great way to learn good heads up play is the Nash Equilibrium.
