Learn the equity of different hands against their all in ranges.

Back when I started playing online, I specialised in single table tournaments (sit and go's). The biggest losing player on the site was an Australian guy who was down over $1 million. Then the site introduced super turbo headsup sit n go's and he moved to them. He was a massive winner in them to the point he won back all his previous losses. He was hyper aggro and crushing all the regs, myself included. After a while I worked out what he was doing different: the final blind level was bb300, starting stack was 1500, and if the stacks hadn't moved much that meant 5 bbs effective. At this point he was shoving any 2, and I suspected we were all folding  too much. So I worked out what was the worst hand that had 40% equity against any 2 (the breakeven point). It was T2o!!!! We were folding Q4 etc so definitely overfolding. So I started calling T2o and better, and he stopped winning against me. The other regs followed suit and he quickly lost another million.

Ironically enough, I just published a new strategy article on how I believe most tournament players move all-in too much when ICM is a factor, and why this is a mistake: [URL]https://www.pokerstrategy.com/news/content/You-are-(probably)-shoving-too-much_132986/[/URL]
