DDBeast's High-Stakes 6max Bubbles: Biting Nails and Pounding

Discussion for DDBeast's High-Stakes 6max Bubbles: Biting Nails and Pounding.

I'm still not exactly sure what the question is I thought the video explained my mistakes well. Preflop Shoving is definitely the best play, checking is second best (small raise is 3rd best). Post flop I should just check/fold and fold turn, for the reasons I gave in the video. My range is just way too weak here and he can shove so many hands for value and as bluffs on the river. I'd probably call it off with 8x but I think I should fold 6x.

AzeGallo-

I really wish I had spent more time on this hand, but in the video I was trying to get across a bigger point.  I understand what you're saying regarding getting an equity boost with the top of your range against a very loose calling range, but I don't think it applies in this situation.  KQ is definitely not in the slamdunk portion of my UTG range and is very different from TT-AA.

 

For argument's sake, we'll use Nash ranges for other players (fyi in reality these ranges are looser)

We can map this out with SNGwiz using BB's calling range as the variable and you see:

near 0% KQ has +1.21%

at 25% KQ has +.54%

at 50% KQ has +.52%

at 100% KQ has +.22%

Basically it 'hovers' around .54% for a large period while worse Kx and Qx hands are added to his calling range and then drops off from there, but there's not really an equity boost, like you see if you use premiums like TT+.  In those cases your hand is strong enough that equity actually increases as his range widens like you say, whereas with KQ you're generally much more happy to take the 300 uncontested.

 

I'm not sure where the .18 and .2 numbers were came from, that's not what I got.

 

What range would I put these players on?

Probably

5.1%

6.5%

5.9%

90%

That gives us a +.14% edge, definitely a shove, but not a fistpump.

 

Also, regarding video format, I completely understand where you're coming from but the overall consensus seems to be that people want to see as many hands as possible.
