£10 DYM SNG Bubble play - would you call here, was I too aggressive??

simonnatur

situation  4 handed and all roughly equal in chips, I figured I had huge fold equity.

Not sure what I would have done with AKs here - I like to think with so much fold equity there will be many opportunities to pick up chips with less risk of getting unlucky.

Anyone agree or think AKs is a snap call.

Appreciate your views.

why?

He has almost 10bbs at 150/300 in a game where coming 3rd wins the moniez and shove will only get him 450 more which won't make a massive difference to chance of wiining and only called by better.

just playing devils advocate. Lets assume its 3 competent villains, all around 10BB

whats our gameplan?

Still survival, he has no chance of being blinded out when blinds next pass even at 200/400 so just sit tight and wait for others to make mistake.

I understand we are trying to survive but going thru blinds takes 15% of our stack and they come around every 4 hands

Whats our shoving/call a shove range? Assume villians are playing tight and waiting for others to make mistakes

Dudeskin8

Probably depends on who you're playing but if I'm very short it's ATC can be shove, but to call a shove when I'm safe i.e. currently 2nd/3rd I'd want QQ+ maybe JJ.

If you have to, it's much better to shove into the BB from the SB, here he has shoved light from UTG which is pretty suicidey

guys I know its prob a fold.

Just think the ultratight strategy that seems to be in vogue here mightnt necessarily be best at a table of good players, esp one who wont call off light

easy fold dyms are all about survival you have a decent stack why would ya wanna risk it all on j 5 just sit tight and cash simples

4 handed I would never shove with that hand, having that reletive stack.

Difficult to answer without an idea of the villians style, but 4 handed I might fold ak in that position too, (don't shoot me down), I would expect to be up against a high pair, but again depends on the specifics, how tight etc

JohnConnor

The shove is far too wide for me and I would probably fold the AK as well, but expecting other players to do that is not happening, sorry. To make that shove I probably need (if I'm playing my best/most disciplined) JJ+, AK. To make the call, probably, QQ+

u wer 2nd in chips ryt , absolutely no need to shove here in my opinion.  Also not sure why the guy shoved all in, he should have just flatted, and hoped the guy behind also called.

Personally im nearly always calling the ak here, altho i dont love it.  Defo proffitable Long-term.
