H1: wtf on river just call. I agree its a weird spot but so many hands crush you. What are you looking to get value on? Hes the only player in the pot who really wanted to be...

H2: 3-bet smaller pf, 2.5 or 3x. Your up against a short stack and you want to be able to fold if possible. If your read is you think your beat than fold. Why would you want to stack off when your M is 30?

H3: I actually don't hate this play. Although your bet sizing is again too large. 2.5-3x here again. Look at the blinds here, your already loosing so many chips and the real tourney hasn't even started yet (I know its an SnG).

H4: Why are you CC a pf raise with 33? AND why are you betting this flop...turn...or river....and doing so pretty weak.


The main theme I see between these hands is that you are an aggressive player but your going about it in the wrong way. Be aggressive in specific spots, not all the time.

Think of it as hills and vallys. Hills you bet and bet hard, vallys you fold. Dont pick spots (hills) where you maybe/possibly/kinda/could be ahead, FOLD THOSE SPOTS. You want the hills (spots you pick) to be when you have AA,KK,AK,AQ, etc. Premium holdings (relative)! Hands where you think pf, "This persons tendencies are to show he/she plays these hands, does the hand in front of me play well against those". If the answer is yes it does, take it to the flop and see if your villain plays like the hands you thought he had.

Poker is a big guessing game and you just need to figure out what to guess and what to do when you come to your conclusion.
