Your shove range in Coolers - big blinds eating stacks up

[robilaruk]

I am trying to put a spreadsheet together matching my BB hand against perceived shoving ranges from the SB/Button in coolers. Scenario: 3/5/10euro buy-in cooler: you are on the button/sb have the lowest chip count 1000-1200 or so, everyone else folds, players left to act have a 2200-2600 chips left, (similar to the other players). No one is LAAG and seem to be average for this level. Its the bubble. Blinds are 100/200 what cards would you shove and what is the bottom of the range i.e shove any ace or only A6+, any K or only K8+ etc. What would be the lowest 'highest' card you would need (Qx, Jx, 10x etc) Do suited cards make a difference to you? What would be the lowest pair you would shove? Alternatively if you prefer not to announce your range :tongue2 what do you think is the shoving range of the average player at the 3/5/10 euro level given the scenario above. If there were 7 players left, would the range be different? Thanks Damo

Re: Your shove range in Coolers - big blinds eating stacks up ok - punched the following scenario into SnG Power Tools 6 players left: BB 1300 SB 2700 BTN 2700 CO 2700 CO+1 2800 CO+2 2800 Blinds are 125/250 (Ante.25) If the calling range of all players is TT+, AQs+, AKo (that's waaaaay too loose - but a good starting point), and everyone folds to them, then each player should shove the following: CO+2 AA only CO+1 KK+ CO QQ+ and AKs BTN Push hands: 33+,A2+,K3o+,K2s+,QTo+,Q3s+,JTo,J8s+,T9s (38.9%) SB Push hands: 22+,A2+,K2+,Q2+,J2+,T2+,92+,82+,72+,62+,52+,42+,32 (100.0%) I'm amazed at how loose the Btn and SB should apparently be :loon Using these ranges, and assuming 1 shove before him, what should BB call with? CO+2 Never call CO+1 Call with AA CO Call with AA BTN Call with TT+,AKo,AQs+ (3.8%) SB Call hands: 77+,AQo+,ATs+ (6.6%) That doesnt seem right to me :unsure But if it is right - someone will always shove into the BB and he should nearly always fold :unsure
