    Default Marginal calls , time to gamble ?

    I can tweak wizzard till it gives me a positive edge and lately tend to give them ranges just to justify my play , assuming villain plays loose (correct) late game , are these decent calls ?

    Hand1 - The fact that I have no position on the other shortsack should make it easier.
    Full Tilt No-Limit Hold'em, 12 Tournament, 80/160 Blinds (4 handed) -

    SB (t1215)
    Hero (BB) (t1415)
    UTG (t2715)
    Button (t8155)

    Hero's M: 5.90

    Preflop: Hero is BB with K, J
    1 fold, Button bets t8155 (All-In), 1 fold, Hero calls t1255 (All-In)

    Hand2 - I know he is probably ATC or at least close based on stats , shove happy player
    Full Tilt No-Limit Hold'em, 12 Tournament, 250/500 Blinds (2 handed) -

    SB (t3480)
    Hero (BB) (t10020)

    Hero's M: 13.36

    Preflop: Hero is BB with 7, 6
    SB bets t3480 (All-In), Hero calls t2980


    Hand3 - Best line probably .

    Full Tilt No-Limit Hold'em, 12 Tournament, 120/240 Blinds (6 handed) -

    MP (t2149)
    CO (t3532)
    Button (t1485)
    SB (t2603)
    BB (t2731)
    Hero (UTG) (t1000)

    Hero's M: 2.78

    Preflop: Hero is UTG with 8, 10
    Hero bets t1000 (All-In), 3 folds, SB calls t880, 1 fold

    Hand 1: I don't like the call just from a strategical standpoint. As SB is under more pressure to to double up before being blinded out.

    Hand 2: Calling seems okay here to me.

    Hand 3: A shove doesn't seem bad here. Stacks are pretty even, so anyone who calls risks taking a large hit to their stack.

    Hand1 - I probably have better equity with KJ against the big stack , compared to calling the shortstacks shove BvB (most often it will come down to that)

    1) Good

    2) Meh ( 7 high is kinda weak......)

    3) Probably.

    Hand 1 - I'm as likely to fold as I am to call as the blinds are still small compared to the short stacks. All depends on how the table has been playing out. Even though its the bubble, neither of the two shorties are in desperate need to do anything yet.

    Hand 2 - We're a little worse off than a flip here, we're getting 4/3 on our call, its hu, the blinds are high, we have him well covered so call and curse his raggedy rivered flush.

    Hand 3 - As with (I think it was you anyway) your other thread, shove it but dont admire yourself in the mirror for leaving yourself in this position. Depending on how the blinds play, you're likely to win greater than 35% of the time so not a complete waste of time.

    Few months , ton of games and some studying . Opinion on my own hands lmao , post some sng hands people .

    1) Still calling this (same thought process as above)

    2) Even if he's on any two , I don't like the gamble anymore . Should tighten my HU games against really aggressive opponents , if he shoves each hand it shouldn't be hard to get a better spot to call .

    3) Would only shove if it was a bubble spot or on the button , six handed we have some time left to catch a hand for a better in-position shove.
