Did I fold my 55 correctly here?

[sevenkn]

I'm UTG+2, 64 BB Deep.
UTG raises to 2BB
I call
MP shoves All In for 60BB
SB Calls

Action to me, I fold.

Is this the correct call here?
What should I be studying to make this decision second nature?

It seems like it is the correct decision (we're still in late reg for another half hour).

Edit.
Another hand just happened
I'm HJ, 167 BB Deep.
I have TT
I RFI 3BB
SB shoves
I fold again.

This one was tougher, but he had to have some better made hand I think

Also, I apologize if this is the wrong place to post this.
I searched for a specific "hand analysis" or similar and couldn't find it.

Good fold!

 

[Mantinhoo]

Yeah, you did the right thing in both spots.

You are not showing the full picture at the table but it sounds like with stack sizes, buy-in $, tournament type, how deep in the tournament you are/distance to bubble, etc. but based on the limited information provided I don't see anything wrong with the folds.

TBH these sound like freebuys/freerolls with hyper turbo structure.

You want to get Equilab -it is free and you want to use it to build ranges for your V and then look at what equity 55 has vs those 2 ranges. Then you can build a range that would have the right equity to call and that will tell you what hands that you flatted can call vs the suspected ranges.

 

[pltelles]

I think you made excellent choices, I would also fold in both cases

 

[dannystanks]

Definitely good folds, there is no way you should be calling off 60+ big blinds to a shove and another player calling before it gets to you with 55. And calling off 167 big blinds to a shove with TT is such an easy fold. It’s just too many big blinds to be doing that with. Study stack size strategies and this should help you with these situations.

 

[primrose]

Most likely both are good folds, but the submission is incomplete; doesn't include table size & stakes.

 

[yomarianob]

The 55 is def a fold, your ranges are strong, I would fold even 25bb deep.

The TT hand is more difficult to fold, but you don't want to call a 167bb shove. I could find a call if I have a very good read on the opponent and if we can rebuy and not hurt our bankroll.

$2 buy in, 7 or 9 min blinds, don't remember right now

I see.
Like, if the guy had shoved 3 of the last 7 hands for example, or had an insane VPIP and raised everything, I might lean towards calling;
Otherwise, its just flipping for my tournament life on a pair of tens.

Oh, that's true.
Its 9handed, 7 or 9 min blinds, $2 buy in

If I had aces in any of those situations, is it an auto call, or should I sometimes try to avoid "flipping" even with aces early stage?
I've been getting lots of deep runs, ITMs etc, but I feel like I keep ****ing up punting chips and buyins on some hands that I maybe shouldnt.

I'm current studying some ICM to see what I can apply to these decisions.

 

[primrose]

In that case it's not a close call; both are good folds.

No; never fold Aces. You don't have that large of an edge in poker that you can do better than getting it in with Aces.

The only times where folding Aces becomes reasonable is if you have a flat payout structure (satellite or double or nothing tournament) because then the ICM factor is put on steroids. In any regular tournament, ICM can never be enough of a factor to make folding Aces good, except in hyper extreme, cherry-picked scenarios (like you're on the bubble and you and someone else both have a tenth of a BB). In >99% of cases folding Aces is a blunder.

 

[Reddog888]

If I at your position i will snap fold no thinking .)), that easy with me

 

[dannystanks]

You are definitely happy to get it all in no matter how many blinds you have pre flop with AA, so it would be an easy call there especially against 1 or 2 players. If you loose you loose, we take our lumps and move on.

 

[fewerz]

Fold without a doubt.

How many bb's does SB have?

 

[kaynbergo]

Your fold with 55 was a good decision, I would play the same way.
