Re: Chip's $11 45-man HH Review
Just started to watch the vid and you folded 54s in the BB against a minraise and 2 callers, so you had 7-1 potodds to see a flop but you said you wouldn't call with 54s even if everybody called. I have basically no SNG experience but from a CG players view that seems just crazy. Could you please explain the logic behind folding there with those great odds to see a flop(you had 14bb and they all covered you)?

There are a few reasons I'm not calling with 54s here. First, as you said I only had 14bb behind, so my implied odds are not that great for a hand where really I'm hoping to flop a draw. If I flop a pair it will probably be low pair, which I won't be too confident in. If I flop a draw, I'm so short that it's not going to play very well. For example say I flop a flush draw, then I guess I'd check/shove or something, hoping they fold. It's just not a great spot to get in really. Also I'm out of position, which isn't as huge a deal because I only have 14bb, but still not good. It would be better to call here if I had 100bb, and I really doubt that calling here in a cash game with 14bb would be profitable (I've never shortstacked full ring cash but I'm guessing it's mainly shove/fold and rarely calling, I may be wrong).

No Limit Holdem Tournament • 9 Players
$11+$1
Converted by Bluefire Poker - Hand history Converter
Effective Stacks: 5bb
Blinds 600/1200 Ante 75
Pre-Flop (2475, 9 players)
Hero is BTN


UTG goes all-in 7205, 5 folds, me folds, 2 foldsFinal Pot: 9680
Here is the hand just in case anyone wanted to play around with it in sngwiz or sngpt.
As for my range here, it's probably TT+,AKo because the guy shoved UTG and given his stack size and the bubble scenario. Realistically, I think the only +EV calls in this exact situation are probably JJ+ (as shown when I adjusted his range to what I expected it to be: A5s+,A9o+,KJs+,44+), but realistically I wouldn't fault anyone for calling TT or AKs in this spot.
If this were early on, say bb200 or bb400, I would definitely call, because busting in 20th place isn't as disastrous as busting in 9th. The bubble just results in really crazy situations, but it's by far the most important part to get good at, because that's where all the money is made. Realistically, calling with something like AJo in this spot is worse than almost anything you could do in a 45 man during bb20.
The reason I review mainly late game situations in the videos is because it's so important in all types of SNGs. The people who do the best at these games know the math the best, it's just that simple.

Also, check out my blog for info on how to get your hand histories reviewed in a blog or video. I won't be doing any HUNL videos because I'm definitely not qualified to do that, also I haven't really played that many MTTs. One thing I wouldn't mind doing is giving a HH from an MTT I final tabled and letting one of the MTT pros rip it apart exposing all the leaks haha. Anyways, as I mentioned in the blog if you have any HHs you'd like me to review, that include interesting late game situations, send them on over to bluefiresngHH@gmail.com and I'll pick some interesting ones for my next videos or blogs.
