This is the weekly THR Friday Night LIVE! $100 GTD Freeroll. 368 entrants, 38 left and we just got into the money. I'm sitting in the SB with roughly 11 BBs with no significant payjumps in the near future. My goal is to make the final table because that is where all the money to be made is. Here's the hand:

Winning Poker Network (Yatahay) - 750/1,500 NL - Holdem - 7 players
Hand converted by PokerTracker 4

BTN: 25.22 BB (VPIP: 21.82, PFR: 13.46, 3Bet Preflop: 0.00, hands: 56)
Hero (SB): 11.07 BB
BB: 9.39 BB (VPIP: 5.71, PFR: 3.03, 3Bet Preflop: 10.00, Hands: 35)
UTG: 18.94 BB (VPIP: 25.00, PFR: 0.00, 3Bet Preflop: 0.00, Hands: 12)
UTG+1: 7.29 BB (VPIP: 13.56, PFR: 5.66, 3Bet Preflop: 9.09, Hands: 59)
MP: 7.58 BB (VPIP: 20.00, PFR: 13.33, 3Bet Preflop: 0.00, Hands: 15)
CO: 17.95 BB (VPIP: 22.22, PFR: 9.26, 3Bet Preflop: 6.25, Hands: 57)

7 players post ante of 0.1 BB, Hero posts SB 0.5 BB, BB posts BB 1 BB

Pre Flop: (pot: 2.2 BB) Hero has J:heart: A:club:

fold, fold, MP calls 1 BB, fold, BTN raises to 2.46 BB, Hero raises to 10.97 BB and is all-in, fold, fold, BTN calls 8.51 BB

Flop: (24.63 BB, 2 players) 7:heart: 6:heart: 6:spade:

Turn: (24.63 BB, 2 players) 9:spade:

River: (24.63 BB, 2 players) Q:diamond:

BTN shows A:heart: A:diamond: (Two Pair, Aces and Sixes)
(Pre 93%, Flop 99.7%, Turn 100%)
Hero shows J:heart: A:club: (One Pair, Sixes)
(Pre 7%, Flop 0.4%, Turn 0%)
BTN wins 24.63 BB

tl;dr: There is an open limp from MP, BUT isolates to roughly 3BBs and even though he is a solid player I feel like my jam with AJo here for 11BB is correct. Even though this particular time I ran into Aces. Thoughts?

P.S. I've just recently made the transition from cash games to tournaments, so I'm slowly but surely learning how to navigate different stack sizes during different phases of the tournament. Any input or advice would be greatly appreciated :)

I'd be shoving a lot worse than AJo from SB with a limp and a BTN raise in front of me. This will be profitable in the long run I'm sure, keep at it.

Seems pretty standard to me, can't think of anything else to do, I'm probably jamming down to QJo and JTs and any pocket pairs bigger than 44.

Cool, thanks for the input bros! Where exactly do you guys determine profitable rejamming spots at certain stack depths? Is there a website or some math I need to look into, or is it all dependent?

Float the Turn has a push/fold calculator, this is good for unopened pots when you're short stacked 20 bigs or less, just based on pure maths.

Other than that yeah, it's all dependant. Need to work out what range you put them on for raising and calling a 3-bet, all based on player style, stack size, position, tournament status etc. With a VPIP of 21% he's probably raising a 25% range from the button (if not more) and calling a 7-8% range unless you have anymore reads. With this fold equity plus being about 1.5:1 dog or better to his calling range it's a good move.

Try working out some EV calculations for this situation and play around with their raising and calling ranges. He'd have to be a lot tighter for me to fold AJ here.

I'm jamming with just about any two cards at 11 BB. AJ is a great hand to shove with. Of course it's always AA when it's my time to shove as well.

Only his tiny raise after the MP call indicates something weird about his hand because he seems to play fairly decent, but even if he had flatted is a standard shove by you. You were just unlucky.

ps. I think this thread belongs to Tournament Hand Analysis section :p
