Last 3 of a 2 table sng.

Hey Guys

Could you take a look at the last 12 hands i played in this 2-tabler. I get really confused regarding when to push and when to fold. Im ok when desperate. But its when i have say 4xBB but shorty has 1.5xBB that i get confused.

Take a look and let me know if i was too loose or (perhaps more importantly) whether or not i missed any spots!

[fjuanl]

nothing really wrong, it was just unlucky you were the one to get 3rd. some things i do a little differently

hand 2 : push and dont show your hand. no need to give information.

hand 4 : hmm its close. i would be more willing to fold preflop if i know the sb has been actively taking the shortstacks blinds. i would probably fold even though its probably not the right choice

hand 6 : good flop for a continuation bet, make it 1/2 or 2/3rds of the pot. if your going to take a stab on the turn, you should make a bigger sized bet

hand 7 : might have to push here

hand 8 : your probably getting at least 3/1 odds to call, so i think you have to call here

[johnny_fish]

JJ: shove, don't show.

J9s: close.. It's marginally +EV if shortie calls with 30% and big stack with 15%.

A6o: Make a bigger turn bet or check. I'd check here probably.

hand 7: bonbon either sucks or consciously keeps shortie in..

T2o: call!

T5o: shove any 2.
