Hi Ringo,

unfortunately your post is too inaccurate for explicit anwer.

Move in this spot is strongly related to:
opponents opening ranges,
blinds and antes level,
tournament phase (bubble, near the bubble, far away from bubble etc)
table image (weak field or a strong one etc)
as well as tournament type (rebuy, 2x chance, freezout, satelite etc)

and probably even more other factors

Next time please be more precise in your posts.

Regards

I agree it's too situation but baton a lot of the factors you list aren't really that relevant (blind level, tournament type).

 

Foucalt I would like to give you examples of how factors I listed above affect decision. Naturally correct me if I am wrong.

Blind level – I mean, is it pre – ante phase or ante already kicked in. There is a difference in money already put in pot and obviously you can call wider getting better odds

Tournament type – in rebuy tournaments, you can find a lot of value in building deep stack early on. So as long as you are not so deep and you are still in rebuy period it is good to take some bigger risks to gain some chips

In fact both situation described above dont have large impact in current spot, but still in my opinion they are worthly to consider.

Naturally I do not want to undermine your claims. However I will apreciate if you refer to my post.

I don't agree with what you say about gambling to get chips, though. You get chips by making +EV calls. If the call is +EV, then you should make it whether or not you are playing a rebuy tournament. If the call is -EV, you shouldn't call just to gamble and try to run up a big stack.

Naturally, I consider only +EV spots. In rebuy tournaments it is good to pick up slight value whereas in freezout it will be better to pass up and wait for better spots
