$2.50, 27 out of 7000, SB vs BB

It's not fun but it's strong enough to shove, I think.

Ok thank you. He called me with QJo and I felt like a fool cause I grinded for weeks to build my bankroll to move to a bit higher stakes and then this happens. The difference between 27th prize and 1st prize was like x20.

You have grinded for weeks to get to $2.50 MTT's? I would recommend supplementing your bankroll through additional work income. No matter where in the world you might be located it does not make sense to grind for hours on end for actual pennies (if you are actually trying to build a bankroll).

Will do. Poland. I used to play on PS with $2000+ br before it was legally banned here. I the meantime I ran a touring rental company which was one of the biggest in its branch in Poland, which went bankrupt (scaling too fast, proximity of UA war). I’m now uber broke and grinding up to get on my feet again. Thanks for the advice

Much appreciated

As said before, GGpoker tourneys are large Fields and thus Higher variance than you witnessed in Stars MTTS, where field size at These Stakes is maybe an average of 400-600 Players. You might as well get 10 of such spots before making a big field MTT Final Table. Bigger field size Always increases Overall variance. You might as well make a top3 3 Times in a short time on the other hand.
This is a good shove, just unlucky.
Maybe stick to lower fields if you are "über broke", like the non-highlighted MTTs Like T$-Builders, Daily Deepstacks, Daily Turbos etc, get more expirience, but being "uber broke" MTTs is never the right Game regardless

Thanks

I read a thing (likely a solver thing) that recommended shoving with 10 bb's in the SB with 22+/A2+/K2+/Q2+/J2s+/J6o/T3s+/T7o+/97o+/SC's down to 43s and almost suited connectors down to like 53s. Also I think 85s/84s/74s

So this is a standard jam with Q4s. Tough luck.

Now I guess it matters from an ICM perspective but going a bit further doesn't increase your winning amount by much so I would go for it.

Tbh, from an ICM perspective, leveraging fold equity at the possible cost of cEV becomes more valuable, so shoving is even more likely to be correct.

(To pick up on an earlier thread in the conversation, if you want to build a bankroll, having a few big field tournaments to hope to spike something huge is good, but you will build more steadily in smaller-field tournaments. And yeah, at these stakes, you might be better served saving up money from a better-paying job until your bankroll is sufficient to not be solely playing micros.)

Thank you both
