no ez fold

ez fold as played, id rather take a stab at it on the turn, but i wouldve 3bet pf, u need more information on his hand, im not playing 99 purely for set value in position

100% shove preflop

very very very shove preflop you have under 20 BBs

when you have like 13 - 25 BBs, almost all of the pots you play should be 3betting allin preflop

you don't wanna raise/fold because losing 2.5 BBs decreases the value of your stack significantly, so don't steal as much as with shorter or larger stacks
you don't wanna raise/call with crap, committing yourself with garbage, so again, don't steal much
you definitely don't want to 3bet/fold for obvious reasons
you don't wanna flatcall and see flops and try to play small pots because you have so much fold equity preflop and the size of your stack makes your risk-reward ratio really good for re-stealing

so basically focus in 3bet shoving preflop with stacks like this, especially in 6max tournaments where there should be a lot more weak raising/stealing

i think -.-

Is it alright to 3bet shove as a steal though? I mean usually I do what u say and 3 bet shove all in with this.. but I normally wouldn't have this many chips. Id usually have between 1800-2200. 2700 felt like a lot to really shove there

yeah you def 3bet shove for value with decent hands, possibly consider 3betting some stupid amount like min3bet with AA type hands to get more action, and 3bet allin as a bluff a lot too. you wanna bluff with hands like suited connectors and gappers and suited aces, anything that almost ALWAYS has around 25-30% equity and often has more like 40%

uumm pf its a shove/fold

wtf is a shove/fold preflop
