from just a quick look there are many things you had better understand.

learn to play when you have 10 times the BB.

just read through alot of posts on this forum to understand this play.

also learn which hands you should play and why.

i think turbos will cost you alot of money if you dont focus on these things. also if you can purchase SNGPT get it.

[bode]

pretty standard. it looks like you were being aggressive.

to nit pick a bit, i would c-bet the flop when checked to in the AQ hand at the top, but other than that, this good aggressive play will do you wonders in the turbos

[Da GOAT]

okay my previous post doesnt help you, sorry jus tired.

9-fine
10-push preflop
12-horrible,fold preflop. calling is the worst option and raise if limper calls a worst range.
13-fold pf
15-good steal though beware your image
16-fold pf
17-good
18-fold pf
20+21-fine
22-push pf. as played horrible
23-what range you put villian on with this minraise. i still call though.

[Lokedog]

First off thanks for the input guys, it is much appreciated. As far as the specific hands go:

“to nit pick a bit, i would c-bet the flop when checked to in the AQ hand at the top” – I wasn’t sure how much to c-bet on the flop since I only had roughly 1800 left in my stack, and the pot was already 3000+. Push that flop if checked too? Fold if bet at then I take it?

“12-horrible,fold preflop. calling is the worst option and raise if limper calls a worst range.” – I was definitely unsure what to do here. My initial thought process was that I had a pretty significant chip lead over the 3 remaining stacks, so I could afford to limp in with a semi-decent hand and re-evaluate after the flop. If it is indeed a fold/raise situation, how much do you make it to go?

“13-fold pf” – Basically I was trying to raise enough to get the 2 medium stacks out of there, and provoke the small stack to pushing over the top so I could go heads up since I would gladly take a coin flip (or something close) to try and get rid of him and in the $. Is that thought process a big mistake?

“16-fold pf” – I think I overvalue the ace in the late game. When it gets to these blind levels and on the bubble, I’ve always raised the ace with an 8+ kicker. How much should I tighten my requirements up? (Generally speaking)

“18-fold pf” – I raise any pp when it comes down to the bubble, bad move?

Again, thank you for the input.

bode must of misread it. its a clear push since any c/b you make will leave you pot committed.

“12-horrible,fold preflop. calling is the worst option and raise if limper calls a worst range.” – I was definitely unsure what to do here.

If it is indeed a fold/raise situation, how much do you make it to go?

then fold. try not to think ill limp here coz its nice looking and ill reevaluate. if you limp and shorty pushes will you call? you will be underdog to any ace too. also as a note calling any allins with any king high hand is usually bad news without reads.

“13-fold pf” – Basically I was trying to raise enough to get the 2 medium stacks out of there, and provoke the small stack to pushing over the top so I could go heads up since I would gladly take a coin flip (or something close) to try and get rid of him and in the $. Is that thought process a big mistake?

do you not find that some big stacks at this level dont want to co-operate?? some will see it as weakness and attack especially donks.

“16-fold pf” – I think I overvalue the ace in the late game. When it gets to these blind levels and on the bubble, I’ve always raised the ace with an 8+ kicker. How much should I tighten my requirements up? (Generally speaking)


here you have less than 10xBB where techically if you raise 2-3xBB and get pushed over, you then must call the rest of your stack off since pot odds warrant it. so here its push or fold. i vote for fold since pushing is marginal +-EV.

“18-fold pf” – I raise any pp when it comes down to the bubble, bad move?

again you raised with a small stack with 33. its push or fold time and you dont need to take that chance since relative stack are about equal.

Again, thank you for the input.

Haven't looked through all the hands, but I would shove 16 (A8o on the button). Hero has the blinds covered so their calling range would be pretty tight given it's the bubble. Even if they are looser, shoving is pretty much never -EV. Minraising is bad in this spot, Hero spewed 1200 chips here.

[johnny_fish]

16 is an easy push imo.

18 is fine, chance to escape vs. big stack and good opportunity to flip with shortie.
