Four charts for the push-or-fold-stage

Strategy: S’n’G / tournament

The push-or-fold-phase

► In the long run, the push-or-fold phase is played according to the Independent Chip Model (ICM).

► To start with, 4 charts replace the ICM▫ “Push”-chart, if everybody folded before you ▫ Three “rebound” charts – according to your position, when someone

raised before you

The charts are good to start with. Later you should take a look at the ICM

The push chart

► Everybody folded before you

► You have 13 or fewer BB

► Or all opponents behind you have 13 or fewer BB

Important: You can download all charts!

Rebound chart 1

► Somebody has already entered the hand ahead of you

► You are not in the blinds

► Warning! In the top of the chart you will not see YOUR position, but rather the opponent who acted before you

Rebound chart 2 – small blind

► A player has already entered the hand before you

► Only applies if you are in the small blind

► Works just like rebound chart 1

Rebound chart 3 – big blind

► A player has already entered the hand before you

► Only applies in you are in the Big Blind

Summary

► Print out the PDFs and have them next to you while playing

► Stick EXACTLY to the guidelines

► In the long run, take time to explore the ICM
