I’ve got some uncertainties regarding nash push-fold chart. I understand that there is math behind shoving ranges but sometimes I just dont feel like pushing 14 bigs with K7s and 5 players behind or T5o with 10 bigs from the SB against a station. Moreover, I want to snap-fold 33 with 13 bigs UTG in full table. By sticking to nash I’ve been busting many tourneys often in spots where I don’t feel like shoving but nash tells me otherwise so I shove and bust.
1) How strictly we should stick to nash and how much it is based on player types and stacks behind?
2) How does the speed of the tournament influence our decisions regarding push-fold other than that in turbos we can’t always wait for a really good opportunity so we must often make higher variance plays?
3) 6max or full ring, no difference?
Thank you.

Hey, guys.
I wanted to ask about strategy in rebuy tournaments such as 2.20+ 500cap or 6k on stars. I get that it’s optimal to get to add-ons as cheap as possible but the idea is to play tight overall and fold marginal hands pre flop or try to see cheap flops with good equity hands and stack off only when we got it? And if we get sucked out and loose couple of rebuys, is there a point when it’s just better to not take another double rebuy and leave the tourney?

Well, it's not that in micro MTTs we can always assume that he is raising his sets or two pairs on the flop because you know, sometimes they just want to slow play on the flop and raise turn, because in recreational player's mind it's a good idea. Therefore, I want to know if we should always stab turn here and what to do if we get raised. I pretty often get raised off from my draws and I tend to play them now more cautiously, but I guess I must pay more attention to board texture and opponent's range of hands.

Don't you think his 3% RFI from MP (1/31) shows he is opening very tight range from MP against which my 88 looks pretty bad?

But there was a pretty big 3-bet pre, it's early in a tourney and I doubt he's doing it with some goofy broadway hand or smtn. I don't think he's betting TT, JJ on the turn. For me it looked like AK, maybe AQ, scared KK or seemingly weak bet with AA.

And if I bet turn and he raises or shoves?

I agree about sizing but imo it also depends on the opponent because against good players I would play it differently, against really weak players in many spots I like to play more straight forward.
Taking 632hhs flop, do you think I should raise flop and shove non-hart turns? Because if I raise let's say to 1250 I have a bit less than pot size bet left. What if he calls flop raise and turn is T of hearts, for instance? Also shove? Bet small?
I have been in similar spots where I turn my draw into a semi bluff, shove turn and fish calls me not because he knows what he is doing, but because he didn't really believe me on the flop and on the turn it is just like "whatever, I call with my stupid small pair because I want to see what you have and I have already put chips in the middle", but overall I now think that I've been overplaying my draws too much.

Firs of all, Thank you Raphael for your input, I appreciate it a lot, your comments are really useful. I am going to keep posting hands as I find RIO the best training site, and hopefully I will become much better player to eventually be competent to help others with my opinion.
Anyway, do you think that on boards where I have bigger fold equity the play would be ok sizing wise?

Often in similar spots I am not sure whether to donk, check-call and check turn, check-call and lead some turns, or maybe even check-raise the flop.
What are your thought process here and in similar situations?

Thank you for input but I've two questions:
What if my stack size would be smaller and I could c/r the flop with the intention of shoving about pot size bet on the turn, what do you think?
What is the reason for leading J and T turns if we can get c/raised off the hand with good equity?

Hey, guys!
I would
like to know more about bankroll management for online MTT’s. I am just
wondering how most MTT regulars manage their rolls playing for a living. For
instance, as I am now an MTT reg trying to move up, my approach is following –
with $2200 I play non-turbo MTT’s up to $11 whatever the field is and turbo
MTT’s up to $5.50. 200-400 buy ins might seem kinda conservative but I find it
comfortable. I play up to 9 tables and in every session I put in about 10% of
by bankroll exactly. Putting more, having a really bad session and loosing
>10% of my roll is not very pleasant so I stick to my self-made 10% rule. I
have no problems to climb down and play smaller if needed. Poker is the only
income source for me and I obviously need to cash-out from time to time to pay
some of my bills, yet at this point my expenses are not too significant.
Considering all that, I would be happy to hear your suggestions regarding the
bankroll management in my case as well as your and other player’s strategy,
considerations and experience specifically for online MTT’s.
Almost
forgot, I am also just guessing about the bankroll requirements for, let’s say,
$15 and 3.50+r 180, as well as how much (%) you can spend on satellites,
thus I would really appreciate if you could enlighten me about it with approximate numbers as your personal suggestion and maybe information about other good
regulars.
I will really appreciate your comments.
On what range of hands then you would put him on in this spot early in tournament? I think A is the worst turn card and I can't find any weaker hands than QQ betting there. I just feel that I will always be behind in that spot, but if you think differently, please enlighten me.
