When i use to play alot of Turbo DYMs i found that min raising was better because you only start with 1000 chips. At least then we will save chips in the long run if we dont hit the flop. I would just check on hand above. As Mr F says try and get to showdown, keep as many chips as you can for a better spot. On another point I would love to see the turbo start stack 2000 same levels as normal speed i would play these instead. Posted by stuarty117
In Response to Re: Turbo Dym? : Yea lol On other sites it would be perhaps closer to a hyper DYM just a bit more play than shove fold after 2 orbits Posted by stuarty117
The thing is, there are certain strategies for certain games. If you think that your strategy is better suited to something else other than shove fold 2 orbits, then you should find those games. Or learn a concrete strategy for these type of games. Yer man Ivan might be best placed to teach you these things with him having dabbled in Turbo's & Hyper's but I think the key is aggression. Limp, 3bet pre could very well be a better play here.

Yea agree thats why i play normal speed dyms just suit me better, bit more relaxed and can have a chat and stuff.
I'm looking to get into these games myself which is why I take a bit of interest. I mean, if there is a winning strategy to be had in Hyper-HUSNG's then why wouldn't we. The thing is, from what I've been reading, there is. I just need to learn it.
min-r AK there def. the worst option although you were super lucky to save your chips there!! If all players were employing correct (or near enough) strategy then shoving pre with AK is clearly the best play. All it takes is for shorty to get a couple of steals through and his stack size will be level with yours. Being the 2nd shortest stack, it's a "them or me" spot for you.
Lets look through the scenarios:
You ship, SB calls with anywhere between 15% and 25% of his hands. You have at least 60% equity and 60% chance to cash in the DYM there and then.
You ship, everyone folds: You now have 1580 chips and are in great shape to cash. You ship, someone else calls: Well, you'll likely be a 40% dog - but that's still 40% of the time and you're pretty much a lock to cash if you in. And the chance that someone calls where you'll be a 40% dog is very small (they need JJ+, AK to call)
You fold, BTN folds, SB shoves and BB folds - SB now has 840. Next hand you are in BB with 1080 behind. UTG folds, shorty BTN with 840 shoves with a v wide range. You now have the same "them or me" spot as before but instead have to call it off with not as good equity. If we fold, shorty now has 1140 and we have 1080 - we're now short stack.
So in hand 1 Johnboy has 1715 and in hand 2 you have 1930.
Snap folding the 99 in hand #1.
Hand #2 factors:
- Is villain jamming correctly?
- IF fold: Is villain in the BB likely to know he has to call with ATC?
- IF call: Does villain know he has to call and check pot down, without betting into us?
- IF call: Do villains behind us know they are not supposed to rejam?
I think its very close on the surface but those simple factors will 100% come into play on bubble. Guessing the stake you are playing they aren't thinking like this so I probably find a fold (Other point being we have invested 0 chips). If the BB folds note him down as whatever you wish, I like to use a particular C word.

Not bubble(5 handed) but another that i find tricky. My default here is to shove as the next hand will be 100/200 & not keen min raising 25% of my stack to fold a bad flop if called.

Just fold now?
Feel this was a mistake with a shorty but got away with it.
What would you do here.
Argument for folding with the shorty, though AK is almost always the best hand with just 4 players. Meh, probs just fold pre.
