I want to share with you my thoughts on the sizing of the moment of revival in the tournament when the blinds are high (early in the tournament, my sizing is always 3BB). My current set PF is pretty basic: I define a sizing for the round (which will gradually decrescendo as the blinds increase, typically 2.5BB the blinds 500/1000, 2.2 BB in the blinds 2000/4000 then 2.1BB the blinds 4000/8000. And I use this sizing consistently, regardless of my position / stack my / my hand / profile and stacks of opponents behind me.
Advantages:
1) I am completely unreadable. I flew with 107o, I have a good hand or I with a monster saliva, my recovery is always the same, no way for opponents to have a better range on the basis of visible elements of the coup and stats they may have on me.
2) These reminders are very low it seems best in two cases: Flying with a garbage can (we then have minimized its loss if it is 3bet), and the monster in front of a stack of 13-25 BB, which will be more tempted by a light push as if we had a revival over committer (My God is atrocious as neologisms created by writing about poker ...)
3) We created more depth, allowing depending on the actual mat size (the smallest between his and the remaining players to talk, especially the BB), over possible move. Typical
with 30BB: If I raise the BB and 3.5BB me 3bet to 10BB, I have very little if I push FE: 20BB He will put in a pot that is 42 with ante, c is therefore an easy call for him (according to his stack of course, if a carpet means there will be some more than that if FE also has a small stack of 30BB or roughly more than 80BB). If on the other hand I raised to 2.5BB, when I 3bet to 7BB, I created the PA because my 4-bet him now provides a much lower side (23 to put in a pot 39).
Disadvantages:
1) I will never manipulate the opponent, using no variation with the result that I hope to get by raising. Finally if, but only using 2 gears (or standard raise allin), and even the option allin existing only in some special cases of actual carpet.
2) This system plays very badly with hands "mean more" when you have a medium stack (30-80BB). I think here in the hands with which we will be ready to go allin PF according to the respective positions and profile opponent, but without particular joy. Typically, I put in this category JJ or AQ (but it is also valid for 1010 / AK and QQ to a lesser extent). Encouraging shorts from allin, we will oblige to play a coinflip for half of our stack, which is not optimal when the strategic plan has 50BB ...
3) When a revival of these hands in EP or MP, it is more often flat call if we had raised more strongly, and therefore we find ourselves having to often play flop hands that are all characteristic of play rather badly out of position (since they usually have at least one overcard on our pair of DD and 2 out of 3 will not hit our QA).
My last night out on my big Sunday tournament is no stranger to this thought:
I am in the tournament, I think JJ and am flat call. And here is the drama: I am OOP and the flop is connected so dangerous, with a bonus overcard. In absolute terms, the CBET here is probably not very well played, but I do for two reasons: Firstly, can I still take the loss on a lot of hands (A10, KJ, 99, tile ...) and secondly, I want to keep OOP is the initiative without What I have to either abandon what is often the best hand, or suffer the blow (say that check-call two barrels at least to see if the other hit his Q is not pleasing). When he pays, not touched my belly, I think to turn away but its ridiculous pushes me to stay in the game, thinking it is either very little (99, A10, KJ), or a monster (1010 or 88) but not seeing him on the Q. My plan is to hope for a showdown free or cheap, or even enjoy my huge implied odds if I ever touched my miraculous J ...
At the time, I thought "this is not possible Q10o these clowns who play at this level of blinds. Yes but now, if I restarted in 6000, it would perhaps not paid! ...
Another hand shortly before the same tournament. One of my buddies just in my left. It has quite a history together, and it is a very aggressive player who 3betlight much. First situation where I am on the button and the blinds him, everyone goes to me and I have a trash can. I know that if I raise it is to me very often 3bet (light or not) on the first attempt to "piss on its territory. "On the other hand, if I do not restart, I may lose the opportunity to double in the next round, who bought a little credit to him. Then of course would be to wisdom, but I do not like the dynamics it creates, and anyway, unless a change in nearby table, he'll have that I sometimes try to steal with garbage, so as to begin immediately. Another option would 4-bet shove, but I stopped doing this kind of envoyage in the air with 62 or more hands carnival when I'm pretty good mid-tournament
... So I make my recovery at 2, x BB, then I 3bet, so I fold. Okay, you say, I still 45BB. And if for once I changed gears? A raise to 3.5 or 4BB, it would certainly be surprised and perhaps deterred in any case if he had not a legitimate hand ... Of course, this would create other problems for the future but it could have been a better response to my immediate problem that self raise-fold that I chose ...
And to return the hand of my last post ... The situation is somewhat different, because here the choice was between the "I raise standard in order to pay the all-in probably because I consider it an interesting spot to take a measured risk in the difficult context of the TF "or" I'm like I A6 carpet or KJ to avoid problems. "But again, a more robust recovery would have probably avoided the one hand the call option which really put me in embarrassment, and also reduced its ranks by bringing it closer to shove more than 70/30 60/40 ... And that's the last comment specialist jmoptimise what is clear: you do not want to play a 60/40 here, you're close to other carpets, no reason to want to hang such a risk.
I will try to adapt my game a little PF from tonight.
First by raising more strongly, probably around 3BB, my hands or EP MP with a medium stack (my hands to remain illegible). I do not see too much downside in that the hands I raise these positions are all reasonably legitimate. This part will be relatively easy to implement, it will just think about it (ah, reflexes ...).
other hand trying to adjust my position raise to steal based on the stack and trends resteal of my opponents in the blinds (trying to avoid, again, too much heed my hand, Anyway against opponents malignant). This is certainly much more dangerous, because to seek to manipulate others, we may soon find themselves caught his own petard ...
