3 hands, 2 table SnG for advice:

[BrokeSucca]

This is a 2 table 20 seat $2+0.20 SnG. My MTT SnG. These are the only relevant hands that I saw. Mostly I was playing tight and waiting for a spot. Went out 11th.

MY THOUGHTS:
On the first hand I was trying to isolate. I managed that but when I missed the flop I didn’t think a less then AI amount would make the decision tough enough to drive him off. Foolish risk?

The second hand is just a blind steal. I was getting short-stacked and kinda desperate with the blinds so high and short handed.

The third hand I misread him as a blind steal. It cost me my stack.

Thoughts? Advice? (I know it's a small sample but the rest was just fold or raise and get folded to.)

THE END

[drmcboy]

first two hands are standard (first hand is pretty agg but works for me).

This last, min raise with the KQ is bad ( i think it's a min raise). Why play this one softer than the KQ above? I'm OK with calling the min raise back to you, but once he bets into you on the flop you're done. He would probalby call you with A high here.

[biondino]

Gozy has 5700 chips at this point and you're obliging him to risk 800 of them - it's not a hard decision for him, and since you didn't have a made hand, a draw or even an ace, it was pretty foolhardy I'm afraid.

[BrokeSucca]

I definitely see how that last was horribly played. Thanks guys.
