Basically, playing in SnGs/MTTs ended up really hurting my ring game... changed me from a winning ring player to a slightly loseing ring player.

I've been working on fixing the leaks I picked up ( SnG/MTT play is soooo diffrent) and to help out i'm posting some hands from today/yesterday....

I'm not includeing reads because I'm more intrested in what is the correct play before reads... I can adjust my play for reads, I just want to know if I'm playing correctly before reads.

I didnt think that his flop mini raise showed a lot of strength... I felt that he had a pair, and that aggression would shut him down, not get more money into the pot. I figure that I want someone that probally has 3 outs betting into me.

Standard?
Bad?

I wanted to keep the pot small, and felt that the turn raise was a "where am I" raise, not a "lets get it all in" raise...

His river bet didnt make a lot of sense to me... I had wasnt sure where I was at after he bet that much.

I ended up calling but almost folded...

Bad Play?
Correct play?
