End of 50+5 PartyPoker SNG

[kevinmiami]

I know this is a lot of hands, but this tournament totally epitomizes where I feel I am stuck in my online play. I can regularly make final 4 based on solid play and a few moves here and there, but at this point, I usually have to guess a few times or at least win a race or two to finish top one or two. Recently I've been wondering if this is because of my play, my luck, or just the way SNGs online work. If anyone has the time or effort to run through this (these are all the hands from the time we were 4 handed on) and throw me some advice it'd be great.

BTW I had a fairly tight image, but appeared succeptible to folding after continuation bets. I did this on purpose to get action on continuation hands with the nuts or almost, and it worked. I knocked out at least two people and definitely stole a pot from a guy by raising him with very little knowing he was trying to steal from me and got him to fold. I then proceeded to lose a race 77 vs AK (classic) and thus was at this modest starting point here of around 1000 chips. And yes I got very lucky to double through, dominated, but I really dont think I had a choice on that hand, and would do it again. Dunno if this matters but thought I'd add it.

Thanks again, and good luck to all!

Did you once steal?

I think you played the whole thing perfectly. Well done. You were crippled when you went all in with TT against AJ. You should be proud of that. You made a couple outstanding reads that pumped you up a couple times holding K high. Great job. For the most part you caught cold cards, and still had discipline enough to hold steady until you found a hand to stand on at a crucial moment. You made the right choice and lost. Shit happens.

This is not played perfectly. Intuitively, I think he's leaving a lot of EV out there with a lot of Ace high folds where he should be pushing. The first hand, for instance, could have been very slightly +EV had he pushed. It's not hard to find +EV hands since most of your EV is comming from the larger ammount of folding equity you have since everyone is trying to money.

Both times when he had Ace high utg, he folds when his stack is short. These are both clear steal pushes imo. The K high steal was good, but he needed to be doing more of it.

I wonder if you make this call on the bubble too:

If you find that your ITM finish distribution is getting more 3rds or 2nds than 1sts, it's almost certainly becuase you're not aggressive enough on the bubble.
