2.25 FTP SnG HH in need of review

[Mericc]

Here is a recent FTP SnG that I placed first in. It is usually easier to find and pick apart mistakes in a loss, but less so when the thrill of victory is on you so I thought this a good HH to post to see where I went wrong and where I can tweak things. Note: The gap in the hand history is due to a long stretch where me and the 2nd place finisher were whittling down two people who I suspect were booted, something that almost made me not post this. But since FTP's HH saver has been erratic with me I decided to post while I could. I have thick skin so no need to be nice.

1. KQs - I would either just fold or maybe limp from three off the button. I used to raise this but the problem is you can lose a lot of chips on a K or Q high flop if somebody just flat calls with AK or AQ.

5. Q6o - I always fold this from the BB, it's not worth playing it, even for a minraise, because you are OOP.

I would review the rest of this but the HH seems screwed up, some of the stack sizes are missing, eg. Hand 6 it shows you HU but there seem to be 5 players in the hand? You comment on this in your intro, maybe try running it through the trimmer again.

1.) That was one of the things that I had to adjust to when I started playing at these low levels, people limp/calling hands like AK and AQ but I thought early on it was worth testing the waters to see if this was the case or if they were just limping with the normal crap.

5.) Normally I would as well but every once and a while I will call a min-raise from the BB with anything just to see a cheap flop and maybe get lucky. I do this partially because I tend to play very nitty and showing cards like this may help towards the end of an SnG. Plus the person I was playing with had a wideish raising range and tended to play a bit timidly post flop if he missed.

I think that the reason that the HH is screwed up in places is because if a player is disconnected from the server(Temporarily or permenantly) their place is taken over by an auto folding bot. They are no longer included in the HH because they aren't actually there anymore, only their chips. This is my theory at least.

OK, I'll have a go at the rest, it's a bit weird without their stack sizes but w/e:

Overall I thought you played well. I liked your aggression, particularly against opps who were as weak/tight as yours were. GG. My comments are really just a matter of style rather than serious errors.

[4c Kd] BU (M=40.79; f+f+F) (between 8 and 9) - if one of the blinds is sitting out I definitely raise it.

10. 85o - as per 5, I definitely fold this one. If there are lots of sitters out, then raise their blinds aggressively but against a player who isn't sitting out then don't call with this crap. BTW in your reply to my comments you implied that you would show crap cards for table image - don't do this, you don't have a table image at a $2.25 SNG

11. T6s - I fold this preflop, as played leading the flop isn't too bad but you burned 160 chips for nothing here.

13. 22 - I guess this is OK because you are both deep stacked, but you're right on the edge of not getting proper implied odds to call the raise.

39. K8o - I usually tend to just fold this preflop, I play many more hands in position HU than OOP.

42. AQs - I raise this preflop. You have been raising pretty aggressively from the hands I've seen, raising actually disguises the strength of your hand since a limp has to look suspicious at this point.

43. A3s - I usually just fold this or since stacks are deep, call and see a flop. Re-raising isn't terrible though and if you are going to re-raise, your flop bet is perfect.

Thanks for the comments Taipan. Normally I play much tighter all around but I thought that since my opponent was the type that would raise pre and then check or fold post if he did not hit,that I was getting decent money odds to take a stab at the pot with the occassional crap hand, especially when I have a comfortable chip stack ,but I fully see your point.
I believe what I was going for on #42 was to either reraise if he bet pre, or set to trap for the win post-flop depending on how the board looked if he checked. You are probably right though that raising would have been the stronger move given my past play against him.

Once again, thanks for the advice.
