It also is the hardest aspect of all of poker to master in my opinion. There is no real simple way to help with this outside of saying either fold, or just get it in. There really isnt much of a middle range here....
Also Learn push/fold ranges, rejam ranges, and really focus on ICM. To do this you really need to invest in ICMizer. This will help you understand this play....
It will not let you use it in real time. Because one it takes a second to calculate. In two if you could calculate a fast enough it's 100% mathematically correct. Thus it would give you the perfect decision every time. Thus some would consider that cheating. As for the aces losing two 10s. You got it in as over a 4:1 favorite. And you're correct he probably wasn't fold, so if that's the case you should be fist-pumping when you jam, and he calls with 10s.... yeah it sucks we take the beat but that's poker. That is why we have bankroll management, bankroll management allows us to make the right decisions where we will win 70% of the time, but be able to absorb the 30% when we lose.I really hearing of this tool and ranges thing for first time and will invest time to check it. Thank you for sharing. Can this tool help you in real time and is it allowed to use it in PS or ...
Regarding Aces I was on Button with 7-10 BB stack and limped. Why not? But person on BB had pocket tens and flopped set and improved to quads through river. I think if I shoved he would call me so output will be the same.
On bubble, with a short stack I try to play carefully. If there is an opportunity to get into the prize zone, then I do not risk. In most cases, have to play push / fold. With a pocket card AA and a short stack, it is better not to slowplay, here fold or all-in.
