Push Fold Chart Full Ring
How do I use a full ring push fold chart on a final table as the number of players reduce? Greenish1 (Trinidad ) 4 years ago; do I continue with 'full ring' tab as 9 players reduce to 8 then 7 even though it's no longer a full handed table?and then do I switch to '6 max' tab when we reach 6 players? Each chart has three tables; pairs, suited and off-suit which has made it much quicker for me to find my cards on the chart. For the 'Push-Chart when you are first in' chart I have added a field into which I can enter the current big blind and it displays the figures in chips rather than BB multiples. The only downside is push-or-fold can only be used with a short stack, to not let the risk-to-reward ratio become too high. When your opponents call minraises a lot, push-or-fold strategy can be safely applied up to 14bb effective stack, and in high risk premium circumstances - for example on the bubble.

Push-Fold SNG Poker Strategy Basics #1 - Stack Sizes And Odds
Stack sizes make a big difference to any poker strategy, since the game of no-limit Texas Holdem is based largely on ‘implied odds’ – that is the chance of being paid off with a big pot if you hit a flop hard.
Here is the key point – once you get down to 10 times the big blind pot-odds mean that you should usually call if someone re-raises your initial raise. An example will clarify:
You have a stack of 1000 chips (as does your opponent), the big blind is 150 at the bubble of a sit and go tournament. You raise to 400 and your opponent (in the big blind) goes all-in for 1000 chips.
Now the pot is a total of 1475 chips (including the small blind who folded). To call you need to put in 600 more. This makes your pot-odds 1475/600 or 2.45 to 1, this means that you have to win the hand only more than 40% of the time to show a profit… against the wide range of hands someone might push all-in with in a low limit SNG you are often a favorite against the wide range of hands your opponent could hold – this becomes an easy call.
So here is the follow - up question (as nobody likes to ‘flip’ for all of their chips on the bubble of a SNG!):

If you were forced to call the re-raise by the pot-odds, why not go all-in yourself in the first place?

After all your opponents will often fold hands that they might have re-raised with – allowing you to pick up the blinds uncontested and grow your stack by 15%!
Push-Fold SNG Poker Strategy Basics #2 - Prize Pool Equity Models
There is another reason for pushing all-in at the bubble, this concerns a mathematical model called the ‘Independent Chip Model’. What this does is convert your stack into ‘equity’ in the prize pool… the relationship between your chips and stake in the prizes is not linear (after all there is more than one prize).
As you become experienced in SNG play understanding ICM is important, even if you choose not to use this yourself – so many opponents will use it that you need to know.
Mark's Tip: There are software tools that will give you a huge head-start when it comes to developing a profitable push-fold poker strategy... these are known as ICM Calculators, and many of your opponents will already be using them! I strongly recommend you check out the latest and best software - ICMIZER 2 - this is flexible enough to work with many sites and game variations.
