  1. I raise folded here against solid semi reg, just wondering if anyone thinks a shove or a raise/call is better (if its a fold what pair do we need be able to make the call) it was near money bubble in big 109

  2. 22 bigs is a lil to much to shove into an equal stack and a bigger stack. The shove chart says 22+ but we all know that shove charts work best between and M of 3-7 and you have an M of 9.

    I would prob be ok with 2x open and calling against wide range res-teal players and folding to tight players. As far as a range to b/c with prob JJ+, AQ+. I think AJ would be marginal vs some players and TT is so borderline. Good luck

    This will be player dependent in most cases btw
     
  3. Pretty much what cracker said. r/c, r/f and shove are all viable options, depending on the villains.

    I don't love r/c, but if villains are reshoving a very wide range, including some hands you dominate, it's not bad. For example,

    equity win tie pots won pots tied
    Hand 0: 48.447% 47.95% 00.50% 1876853772 19513668.00 { 22+, A2s+, K8s+, QTs+, J9s+, T8s+, 98s, 87s, A2o+, KTo+, QTo+, JTo }
    Hand 1: 51.553% 51.05% 00.50% 1998445836 19513668.00 { 55 }

    Of course, that's high variance. Open shoving is going to be lower variance and profitable, but won't always be optimal. r/f is preferable when the blinds aren't going to reshove light and their range is likely to dominate your hand.
