Post subject: Tear into my n00bish plays please
A PokerStars $10+1 180 person tourney I played last night, I'm pretty sure I made some pretty donkey moves on the few hands I remember.
1) I'm on a fairly tight table with 20BBs, nobody has more than 30BBs, maybe 50 players left in the tourney. I have AQo UTG and limp. SB completes, BB checks. I flop TPTK and bet when it's checked around to me.
Should have raised probably mmmm?
2) Somewhat looser table, near the bubble (20 players left?) I'm sitting with 12 BBs as a smaller stack on the table, find jacks UTG...I fold. I let my fear of going out right before the bubble fold me out. Anyone wanna give me a lecture (or link to one) about bubble play?
Made it past the bubble, down to 7BBs, I push a raiser with aces, he flips ATs, hits the flush, blah blah bad beat etc...
Another thing I wasn't sure of was playing my TPTK hands earlier on in the tourney. I usually play these fairly aggressively on the flop, then shut down on the turn & river -- mostly just calling moderate raises, folding to big pushes, or multi-way aggression. I did risk 1/2 my stack earlier in the tourney with one of these hands, and it paid off, but I could have just as easily gotten sacked with a set or 2pair. Any advice for the TPTK hands early on?
