Preflop: Hero is BB with [Qc], [3s].

Maybe my monitor is different than yours, because it looks fine to me. I actually did edit the HH, I replaced all the real names with X, Y, and Z.

edit: There, I used the hand convertor. I really didn't see how the raw history was so difficult to read.

The SNG-PT program allows you to enter your opponent's calling ranges and it makes the calculations from there (i.e. how often they are dealt those hands, how often they win when they call, how much they win, what their winning equity is, what your losing equity is, etc). I could be pushing any two cards, good or bad, it's going to cost you all your chips and I'll still be the big stack even if you double up, so you either have to gamble with me or wait for the big pairs. But by then you will be blinded away.

It's not all about folding equity. I do not expect them to fold every time. Even when they do call, I'm only a 40/60 dog to random overcards. Plus they are so short-stacked it does no harm to me and they aren't in much of a better position. That's why I said every push was +EV in this situation.

I'd even go so far as to say not pushing those hands would be -EV. Look what happens with those pushes: I gain the blinds while they get more and more crippled. I'm practically guaranteed a first by playing this way. If I just folded into oblivion waiting for good cards (since I can afford to), the short-stacks could double up off each other thereby decreasing my equity. Plus, I'd then be losing some money to the blinds.

Lastly, my 32 was s0000ted!

Once again the situation warrants pushing any two cards. Even pushing 32o here is profitable. Think about the situation a bit and you should understand why.

Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t600 (3 handed)

BB (t2400)
Hero (t3700)
SB (t1900)

Preflop: Hero is Button with [4c], [8s].
Hero raises to t2600, 2 folds.

Final Pot: t3500

Poker is silly.

It is not enough to be good at chess, you must also play well.

Somewhere in the world someone is training when you are not. When you race him, he will win.
