A few hands from SnG that i would like comments on

[STIdrivr]

After losing a few SnG's to bad beats,bad timing and bad cards i took a couple day break and this is my first SnG. It is just a 5 + .50 18 player on Pokerstars with lot of fish. I thankfully won this to help my confidence but i know i played a few of these hands wrong, so any comments on hands that i played wrong or right would be appreciated. I posted all the hands i was involved in. I also took out things that arnt important like the tourney number. Most of the things i did wrong or right i know of but it is nice to hear it from someone else also.

#32: I wouldn't raise that big out of position with AT.

#46: I would throw out a 2/3rd pot bet on this one. 1/3rd is a bit too weak to me.

#61: I would've mucked this after that bet on the flop. Too expensive to chase here if you ask me. You got lucky and hit your card this time, but normally you're out 800 chips there.

#62: Well he called all your bets down and you milked a lot of chips out of him. Not much to complain about there. I wish I could get quads twice in one SNG and have someone call it down both times.

#82: I might just min-raise UTG 5-handed with Queens, but that's just me.

Rest looks like pretty dominating play from a big stack. Nice job.

[aislephive]

You played well it looks like, but you def. ran hot at the right time. I just got quads the other day but wasn't fortunate enough to garner much action. I think that you should have made a play with your flush draw + gutshot, I'd reraise to take a free card on the turn. Just calling was kind of weak IMO, you're calling off a large part of your chips on a draw. If that's me I raise on the flop and try and take it down. If you don't then you still have a lot of outs.

[mouteut]

Many hands i bet more on the river.

5.50$ fishies will call you if they like their hand. They all have the "hes bluffing syndrom"

[TLR]

#7: You extracted a nice amount of chips, nicely played
#32: Fine
#62: I would try to check-raise the turn
#75: I think K7 is a bit weak to raise with at this stage, even for blind steal

[STIdrivr]

After a few bad SnG's it was really nice to get 2 quads and get paid off ok on both. Thank for the comments guys.

#32 Aplomado,i was playing pretty tight and didnt show any bad hands this was a normal blind steal, i would figure A 10 is usually good against 1 other player also. Since i am out of position would you call and let him see a flop with position? the raise wasnt too much expecially at these stakes. wat would u raise?

#46 agreed

#61 like i said i didnt really know how to play it out of position, if i raise the flop and check the turn doesnt that look weak to the guy with position on me. Should of just folded on the flop i guess but i figured i had pretty good implied odds right?

#62 after betting on the flop, wouldnt a check raise look like major strength even to newbies? Maybe that is giving them too much credit but that looks like major strength to me..

#75Well i was playing my normal TAG style and i figure blind steals get a lil more respect, i dont do them too often or till the blinds get above 100. Plus having everyone fold to you on the button doesnt happen everytime so you cant always wait for a good hand ive done it with 63 at the right time.

[drmcboy]

looks standard to me, except I think you have to check quads on the turn there. I do think leading either flop or turn on the flush draw hand would be better (generally, obv disaster here). I will check/call here planning to bet the turn whether or not I hit sometimes, and his weak bet was asking for it.
