Ckestor is a supernova and I've played loads of hands with him over the past 2 weeks. I know he is shoving with ATC here every time. JPeso is SN as well. $7 turbo SnG and I have 2 SN's at the table .
So would you call or fold here?

Interesting - I play SnG's on Stars up to the $15 level and its frighting to think SN's are raping it that low.
I understand exactly what JP is meaning especially with the next player only having 4 bb's - soon to be in the blinds and most certainly playing any combination.
Problem i have is that Ckesters push here is only ever good with 7 3 if he knows you understand ICM and will fold almost everything?
Honestly i probably call in this situation as well, which may just be a leak on my part i don't know.
Would be interesting to hear Evelyns thoughts on this, think he has posted relating to ICM in the past. _________________ If i want a monkey i get a monkey!

ICM says FOLD! Only call with TT+ assuming Ckestor is pushing any 2. I in fact didn't insta-call because I thought it was a close decision due to the stack size of the other 2. Actually only stuck the hand in SnG Wiz after I posted this up.
Assuming Ckestor is paying any attention (and he is playing a load of tables) it should be pretty obvious I do understand ICM, though maybe I'm disproving this by calling here. As he did manage to post a smiley in the chat box after the remarks of the other guy I'm assuming he was paying a reasonable degree of attention. _________________ I'narr en gothrim glinuva nuin I'anor

If its the former....screw ICM here
I understand what you mean by the WIN or cash question. I can't work out how it's relevant in making the decision though. Could you explain your thinking,please? _________________ I'narr en gothrim glinuva nuin I'anor

Firstly Gandalf i have to admit im not strong on the ICM front so my opinion maybe flawed here, but in your own words hes pushing ATC here and your gonna have 60% at worst against that and a high % of the time your gonna have more. You will have close to 50% of the chips in play if you win with 3 opponents who have 5 big blinds. OFC chip stacks are relevant here, its the whole case of the argument. Your snapping any of the other 2 with this hand. I just think its a great spot to take a chance to put me in a controlling position to win and not be at the mercy of ICM. Does ICM say fold tens here also?..
On a side note if your playing $6 SNG turbo's and 2 of your 3 opponents are astute with ICM it just goes to show how ridculously tough online poker is these days
I played live friday in a £1-2 cash game and a guy went all in UTG in the dark pre flop for £104
online v live has COMPLETELY flip flopped imo _________________ never chop wood in a rubber dinghy

If villain is playing ATC, ICM says call with TT,JJ,QQ,KK,AA.
If villain is playing an 'average' pushing range ICM says call with KK and AA

Hello guys. I always wanted to see in this kind of thread somebody involved pop in and here I am to do it I googled me been stoned right now and found this
I do push on any 2 there, especially cause that guy is a reg. I actually push on any2 there on any player at 7 probablly cause I am not adapted well to this stake but sng wizz says I can push there on any2 till a range of 17,3 (A7off, A2s, KQoff, K10s) witch I think is the range witch a fish will have, even if people are crazy at 7$ in that spot not even a fish is gona risk on more than K10s and about the regs, you can see them here debating about calling on AK so I think it's good to play like this at 7 and the AK call was def good acording to sng wizz cause I push on any2
Hahahhaha about the chat I multitable 20 tables, play 200 a day but do my best to chat cause as broke as I am I still have the stars and people feel encouraged, love poker more if a supernova says something lol cause when I was at the start I always wanted to talk to team poker stars or supernova lol It's the best I can do working tehnically as an ''entertainer'' for the people that support 1mil$ profit a year working 5 timess less at 100$+ sng where I was before the world record in sng downswing hit me hahhaahhaha sorry for the stold equity here at 7 caused by my maniac don't-wana-go-broke multitabling lol
I suggest everybody to talk nice and regulary at the table to the people cause your job is to entertain them
