3-table SNG: Hands for analysis

[aleksandr]

Hand 1:
AQ with pos; early tourney and a drawable board so I want to take this hand down quickly. I don't put the sb caller on AK or a high pair because no raise, but KQ, QJ, TJ, QT are all possible. Checked the river because he showed some strength and a J came, I would have folded to a strong bet here.

Hand 2:
I figure for some folds here; I think I have plenty of outs against top pair, 2 pair (~13 with backdoor draws and such), and I'm drawing to the second nut flush so I want to bet out the nut flush. The pot was so huge when he pushed that I really didn't have much choice.

Hand 3:
Fairly straightforward I think. A guy named urban was the opener, he was playing fairly aggressively and was on comeback row, so I put him on a medium strength hand. Wess had been picking people up with absolute crap all night (showed down trip 3s with 53o a few hands ago) so I figured him for a fold as well. I feel this is a solid squeeze play, and I'm about 11x the blinds in stack size, so the chips would make an excellent addition to my stack.

FWIW, here's my take...

I like the first hand. Him leading into me on the turn would have me concerned, but I think I would just about take a $180 bet to see both a river & a showdown. I'm with you about folding to any more resistance on the river.

Hand 2 - I might have just called his re-raise and re-evaluated on the turn. I really don't know if I want a diamond to drop in or not.

Hand 3 - I can see value in a push and maybe do the same. Although, given you still have 16 BB's and you are on the button, I think you can call and play the flop. You have position for the rest of the hand. Tough not to lose chips with only a J hi flop, but I'm not 100% sure I'm ready to gamble here just yet. I think a push here is looking for folds, rather than action.
