The Tournament Trimmer (v1.1.2w) was developed by JeffreyGB at http://www.FlopTurnRiver.com.

You must be reading a different tourney, I loved it. Nice strong play, with intelligent folds when required.

Make your PF raises higher, 500 instead of 400 at the 100/200 blind level.

Hands like Hand 9, dont do that. All you're doing is bloating a pot when you're out of position. Build the pot when you're in position, keep it small when out of position. If you're hoping to get him to fold, raise to 3xBB raise instead of a min-raise, he's never folding to that.

Ran into a better hand at the end, it happens.

Ok thanks for the answer, now another question

Sometimes its hard for me to choose which hands I should play in a HU.

Of course i'll raise Ax,Kx ( and reraise with a high kicker )
QJ-Q8 is also a raise I think...
then i will play PP und Suited connectors, even offsuited if they are high enough. But what about "borderline" hands like J2,J4,Q3 etc.

Aren't there some general rules of thumb ( if you can say so in english )
to decide which hands you should play and which you should fold PF.

Btw. Somewhere in the Internet i read, that you should raise/ go all in with every King and every Ace and every combination of hands which would make at least 17 points in Blackjack. What about this? ^^

This is entirely dependant on the size of the blinds. Sounds pretty dumb actually, I wouldn't use that rule...

Don't feel "qualified" to answer the other qs since i suck at HU SnGs.

I think you could have gotten more out of him with your better hands if you slowplayed them a bit, at least in the beginning. Opp was always betting after calling your flop bet and you checking to him. A nice checkraise or check/call leading the river might get som more money.

Otherwise I think you played pretty well overall. I don't like the open folding J5s, it is at least worth a limp. I didn't see you limp once- with blinds this low you can afford it.

Hmm yeah i should have played my straight slower...
about limping.. i play some home live poker and in heads up i often try not to limp and to take the lead Preflop, perhaps thats why i haven't been first place in the last 21 S'nG's
