I qualify this by stating that I don't usually play multitable SNGs so take thesee comments for what they're worth.
Overall:
- Maybe this is a single table rather than multitable mentality, but you are playing too many marginal hands OOP. Don't be raising shit like J9o from early position, this is just asking for trouble.
- When you are raising preflop, 250 rather than 300 and 400 rather than 450 can save you a lot of chips. Remember that the pot size grows exponentially so you save not only 50 chips preflop, but potentially another 50 chips in your c-bet. Speaking of c-bets...
- Don't bet pot/overbet the pot as a c-bet! 1/2 to 2/3 the pot is plenty and saves you chips if opp pushes over or calls and you need to shut down.
Specific hands:
1. Fold preflop. Don't get involved with A-rag soooted out of position.
3. At low buyins this is an easy call, these idiots push over with all sorts of crap. I was actually surprised that you were flipping here rather than ahead.
4. Fold preflop. Patience is a virtue! I don't do this, even from the button. J9o is trash at these blind levels. This could easily have cost you more than 1/3 of your stack.
5. I don't mind the turn raise, the minbet usually means opp doesn't have anything.
6. Fold preflop. If it was folded to you on the button or possibly CO you could play KJo like this but not from MP2. Also, I would raise to 250 rather than 300 preflop, 50 chips each time really adds up...as played, why did you overbet the pot on the flop? 400 will win you the pot as often as 750 and saves you some chips if opp calls and you have to shut down.
7. Others may disagree, but I would fold preflop. Yes I know you're getting 6:1 on the call but I just don't want to play T8s out of position. As played, I actually would have semi-bluffed your flush draw on the flop rather than when you missed your draw on the river.
8. Fine, I call this all day long, particularly with 2 limpers' dead chips in the pot.
9. Fold preflop. Again, I would raise from the button but not from CO-1. Plus make it 400 rather than 450 to go.
10. Don't overbet the flop as a c-bet! There is 975 in the pot, 500-600 is plenty. You're up against the big stack, if he pushes over you have to fold and could have saved 400 chips.
11. Fold preflop. As played, I think the flop push is risky given opp re-raised preflop, he may well have the K. OMG Aztab's play is terrible - minreraising with 63 soooooted then calling your push with nowhere near the right odds. I hope you made a note on him along the lines of "SOOOOOTED DONKEY HEE HAW!"
12. I fold this preflop - given what a donkey this guy is you may well be ahead but I'd rather try to stack him when you have a monster rather than playing a hand like A7o OOP against an aggressive donkey.
13. I might put the shortstack limper all-in preflop. Make him decide whether to play for all his chips! I would not push though, if BB wakes up with a hand and calls you could be in really bad shape.
14. Again, don't overbet the pot. 300-400 is plenty here.
15. I think this is OK. What was your plan if either limper pushed over?
16. Raise or fold preflop. Given you are the big stack and the second stack is out of the way, I make it 500 to go. As played, fold the flop. If you had the A it is an easy push over but I would just get out of the way on that monotone flop.
17. I think this is OK. Again, 400 is plenty here, no need to bet pot.
18. As per the other hands I commented on, fold JTo OOP and don't overbet the pot on the flop. 800 would have been plenty here.
19. I think this is fine SO LONG as you realise that if you're called, there isn't much that you're dominating and to play carefully if the flop comes K or T high.
[9c Qd] BU (M=15.29; f+f+f+F) - Depending on reads on the blinds, I might try to steal here.
20. Again, bet a little less on the flop. There is 750 in the pot, 400 is plenty.
21. Depending on reads on the button limper, I would consider shoving here. You have both the limper and BB oustacked, they're (hopefully!) not calling you with marginal hands like QTo.
22. Open shove preflop. Aztab the donkey probably still calls you with 88 given he is big stack but let's not be results oriented - by shoving you probably fold out some hands against which you are a slight underdog (eg. small pocket pairs).
