hey claydol im newish to torneys play cash primarily thought this was a really good concept from your video when i was making notes so thought i would post it here....
Blind versus blind shoving range factors to consider
1. Hand strength e.g. 65o does a lot better than 32o so may still be a shove against a loosish calling range in BB
2. Stack sizes. deeper we should play tighter, shorter we should play looser to capitalise on our fold equity
3. Opponent type... e.g. versus regular shove tighter because they should call us wider. Versus tight fish shove ATC because they fold so often. Versus loose fish shove tighter cause they call us widely
Example putting these ideas together
We shove for 10bbs in SB with K5o villain calls in BB with 12%of hands against his range we have 30% equity. On average we will be losing 4bbs from this situation (7bbs when we lose 3 bbs when we win 7-3=4) when called however when he folds we win 1.5bbs.. therefor 1.5times 88% -3times12% equals positive0.84bbs per time we shove here. To further this point if we are deeper then we should be less inclined to shove as wide because we clearly loose more the times we have a weak hand and our called. If our opponent calls wider then we win less on our steal and need to compensate by stealing with a tighter range. Need to balance these 3 main factors to ensure we construct the most profitable shoving range.
For practice learn how to adjust these ranges accordingly using poker stove and the simple equation provided
