Hey!

The calculator makes sense to me, here is my reasoning.
When top 3 are getting paid and there is 4 left you should be pushing way wider because they have to call a lot stronger as they don't want to risk their stack and gamble, so they can only call with top of the range.
In the other scenario where the winner takes all, people are going to call lighter and willing to gamble more with you therefore you should be shoving a little stronger. Hope it makes sense (it does in my fishy head :-) ).

Good luck at the tables! I will be trying to satellite into the millie myself, hopefully we make it! GL

Smalltimeplayer,

Looking at a 100BB stack in an MTT we are normally talking about early stage play (it's not very often we get the luxury of a 100BB stack in middle to late stages) where I don't really want to tangle in big pots with 1010.
Of course if we had 100BB and chip lead I'm opening any pair UTG.
I am probably looking at it wrong as you say, but also it does have a lot to do with table dynamics, your image etc.

Of course I don't think that. I'm just saying that 1010 plays similar to 22 on for example an AJ6 board. 3rd pair and you're unsure whether your hand is good.
I wouldn't raise 1010 UTG, 100BB deep, I would rather limp call, as I want to see the flop. (I would probably limp call with all the PPs, given the price is right of course, especially if its multiway).
I don't want to raise with 1010, get 3-bet and have to potentially play a big pot OOP.

Hey,

I think you can make the same argument about a hand as strong as 1010 UTG. More often than not 1010 is 2nd or 3rd pair so you are still guessing a lot of the times. Would you fold 1010 UTG?

Hey,

Easy call. V probably doesn't expect you to have a K there, you played that hand as if you made a standard c-bet then check-give up on the turn. If you are checking, it's to induce a bet from V on the river which you did but then folded which is losing money in the long run IMO.

Hey,

Sick spot, but you just have to make the disciplined lay down as you did! I agree with both comments above mine, there is just not enough bluffs out there. On such a wet board I think you should be betting much much bigger. I would bet something like 7.5-8.5k OTF and OTT 16-17k.

Hey,

I believe a bigger PrF raise is better here, something like 1400-1600 and then once he checks rip it in there. By making the PrF a little bigger it leaves a pot size bet on the flop.

Do you call if he goes all in or bets into you?

Hey,

What site are you playing on? And is it a regular table or zoom?

Hey,

I've been in this spot myself multiple times and I've seen people do it with all sorts of hands (AXs, suiter broadways/connectors, small pairs). You have to consider the BB having 825 in chips. He could be 4x raising to easily call of the BB if they shove or they just want the BB to fold. Don't think he does that with QQ+, even JJ, so you are ahead most of the time. When you say tight/passive, do you have numbers on him or just a general knowledge from seeing him play?

To conclude, I think 5 handed, with 20BB I would shove as I truly believe you are ahead, now it might be a flip but that's why it's gambling. Also consider what stage of tournament you are in, ITM definitely I think a shove, on the bubble very tight fold, etc.

Note: This is my first ever post here, I've read a lot but never really posted, I would like to hear what other people think of my post as I could be completely wrong, but I think I would shove, simply because it's 5 handed with 20BB.

GL at the tables!
