Just say youre in a turbo tournment and everyon is short stack and say you have mayb5-10bb and your on the button and another short stack goes all in say for 2.5bb or something similar and everyone has folded and its up to you. What are the correct odds to call with any two cards? should you still be calling any two cards if it is tightish player?
The general rule is 2 : 1. but it's a bit misleading because it's 2 : 1 vs the players range. so basically we need at least 33% equity against their range. so if the player is tight we obviously have to call tighter, how tight depends on their percieved range. get pokerstove or similar and input some hand vs hand analysis. A good way to remember it is when you have 32o vs a random range, that 32o has a 32% equity vs a random range, so technically, if we have 32offsuit and someone shoves on us, and we're getting 2 : 1, we should call. but realistically, how many players are truly ATC? Also, if your on the button, you still have the blinds to worry about, so you should be a lot tighter again, because they can still have hands, or jst call because they think it might be fun, or because they have a big stack and don't really care.
should you even call because the bet will be a big percentage of your stack.just use your common sense here, if the chips to call is a huge % of your stack, and your hand is likely to lose, we can just disregard pot odds and focus on our stack a little more, this is especially true if you play 6/9/18 mans, not so true in 45/180 mans. basically, i like to have a backup fund if i make a play and it doesnt work out, so if i call off here, i'd like to still have 7-8 true BB's so i can still have a good shot in the tournament. lets just say we are on a final table of a 180 man or final two table. I know early stages you call any two cards but what about the later stages? epecially if its a hyper turbo and yore ur above average stack.Really depends on the situation. and also depends on the stack dynamics, but the above information is still correct, even at a final table. the only difference is that if we lose it generally hurts us more at final tables. stack dynamics play a huge part, like if we're an average stack, we might just decide to pass up on a slightly +ev call, because if we lose, we're suddenly one of the shortstacks and at risk in the tournament.
Also what vpp, do you steal any two cards? say if they have a 10% vpp you can raise with any two cards. And ive heard that if you have less than 20bb you shouldnt be stealing.this is a common misconception. you can steal and should steal, but you have to pick the right opponents, but yeah in generaly, the tighter they are, the more willing you should be to raise more
So are you meant to shove with a 20bb with the usual say 10bb or do you tighten up just a little bit. shoving 20 bb is totally unnessary, like we shove 20bb to win 1.5bb? risk/reward isn't very good. you can raise fold a 12bb stack, you just need to have a good reason for doing it. realistically, your questions are unaswerable, the main reason is there is no one perfect way to play poker, you need to chop and change ranges based on your opponent, game situation, payout structure, what the money means to you, in game feelings/reads, hand strength or relative hand strength and a lot more. And also how many tournments do i need to have an accurate roi you need 1000 games some how i dont think thats right because look at my graph lol. yeah at least 1000, and it's still not incredibly accurate.
