HH - bubble of $13 6 seater on stars

    Default HH - bubble of $13 6 seater on stars

    I like these 6 seater tourneys and more often than not i'll make the money. Once I get my bankroll back I might try and build it up to play these exclusively.

    Anyway, now that im just a mere bystander until further notice, Im going to study the game a lot more and go over some HH.

    Heres the bubble of a 6 seater I recently won and would like comments if anyone has the time to go through it all. cheers in advance.

    Was I too aggressive/wreckless in some hands? Or was it the correct way to play on the bubble?
    A lot of hands I should have just pushed but oppos were folding to raises so I decided to stick with raises instead of pushes. was this a good idea or should I be maximizing my FE all the time?

    start from bottom (sorry still not downloaded the new trimmer )

    Hand 6 you have better than 3-1 on your call. You shouldn't have raised, but you're priced in now. Keep this in mind. Sometimes you raise a weak hand, and have no choice but to call an odds giving push with it. That fold was really bad.
    It's not what's inside that counts. Have you seen what's inside?
    Internal organs. And they're getting uglier by the minute.

    Cheers, I'll keep that in mind.

    I've noticed a lot that I dont take pot odds into consideration.
    Am going to work the pot odds out on every hand from now on!

    Iv'e always been quick to act and a leak I know I have to fix is too slow down and look at the whole hand on EVERY hand I play. pot odds, outs, oppos hand range etc etc. I seem to act really fast which can often cost me chips.

    If you have to call a push by any player still in the hand when raising, you should simply push yourself in the first place for maximum equity. Consider it before raising.

    Overall, I think you are being too tight/passive preflop. On the bubble, and particularly with the big stack, you need to be raising more aggressively, particularly when you're folded to in the SB. Hands like K8, A4 etc. are good raising hands from the button and Q7, JT etc are good from the SB. Basically, any hand you're playing you should be raising.

    43. 63o - fold flop. You burned 900 chips here with bottom pair against the big stack!

    41. 55 - Too passive, raise preflop. With 55 I might even just push here to put the short stack AI.

    39. 54s - Raise or fold preflop. If you want to bluff, do it on the turn not the river IMO.

    36-38 - Good

    [Qh 4c] SB (M=1.#J; f+F) - potential steal raise?

    34. KTs - bet the flop, don't give a free card that might beat you. I would much rather bet the flop rather than the turn particularly when the A comes - Ax has to be within button's limp/call range.

    30. A7 - fine

    29. K2o - I don't like this steal raise from the BB with a crap hand like K2 against the big stack. As played, ballsy flop push, lucky it worked! I guess that flop was unlikely to have hit Villain.

    27. K5o - Good, this is what you should have been doing all those other times from the SB!

    26. K3o - I would have bet a little less on the turn, there's no need to overbet when you hit your trips. There is 1400 in the pot, 800 is plenty.

    [Td Kh] BU (M=1.#J; F) - I would raise this.

    24. 93s - raise or fold preflop. I would raise it.

    [Ts Qh] BU (M=1.#J; F) - Raise it up.

    23. J6o - fine. If Boombaby was a little shorter stacked, say 1200, you would have to call.

    20. J9s - fine. Raising to 500 is fine too, saves you 100 chips in situations like this.

    19. ATo - good.

    18. J5o - raise or fold! I would probably just shove this preflop.

    [Qh Tc] BU (M=39.27; F) - raise

    17. T9o - good.

    [3h Ah] BU (M=48.27; F) - raise

    14. 72s - looks like a steal to me but it's dangerous to raise the big stack here.

    13. QJo - C'mon, start raising when you're folded to in the SB! Easy shove into the short stack here.

    12. J9s - Ugh I don't like this. Check and see a flop and see if you can flop something nice. As played, easy push with your flush draw + gutshot.

    [Kh 7s] BU (M=73.20; F)
    [4d Jc] SB (M=76.20; f+F) - with the big stack you should be raising both of these hands

    11. AA - I would raise to 1200 - this guy has shown the propensity to limp/call raises - if he calls another 400 he'll likely call 800.

    [3c Qh] SB (M=143.96; F) - Easy shove with opp's stack <5x BB.

    8. Just shove this with opp's stack ~6x BB.

    6. J8o - Open shove. As played, you have to call - you're getting almost 3:1 on the call, it's unlikely that you're that much of an underdog unless he has JJ-AA.

    5. K4s - fine. I don't think it's bad to check/fold the flop OOP.

    3. K7s - stop 'n' go is fine here, fold is fine too.

    2. Q5o - just open shove.

    1. QJo - I fold this preflop. QJ has poor showdown value against the range that a passive player like your opp might be raising.

    43. Tried to rep the Ace. I make silly plays like this sometimes and get a bit too "cocky" at times. Its defo a leak. Im trying to slow right down on every hand and think about the whole hand as I often act irrationally or too fast.

    41. Agree. any pair here is worth a raise.

    34. Yeah shouldnt have given a free card. I NEVER give free cards but tried to set up a check-raise here which failed! I thought he'd see my raise PF as a steal attempt and he'd bet the flop.

    35. 3-3 in sb and I raise. a smaller PP than hand 41. makes me wonder lol

    29. Yeah maybe a silly raise PF, like to raise any Ax, Kx in BB from time to time on the bubble. knew flop didnt help oppo.

    26. I understand why a smaller bet would have been better here. I think I got a bit carried away with the bet. a smaller bet would have enticed oppo to call.

    12. Yeah was a bit wreckless. raised way too much for a start. wrecklessness seems to be a leak I need to fix.

    6. Yeah I need to start calculating my pot odds on every hand. Again this is me acting very quickly and not thinking about the whole hand.

    1. Call was quite loose. I think I thought both my cards would be live.

    So in hindsight I need to be more aggressive on the bubble?
    Raise more.

    gotta go for now but il post more later.

    cheers.

    So should you be raising most hands on the bubble? Even ifyou've been playing aggressive before the bubble?

    When shouldnt you raise when in the SB?

    IMO, bubble aggression is one of the key to SNGs, particularly when you have the big stack. So many players at the low buyins are scared of bubbling such that they tighten up way too much making it very easy so steal their blinds. The more they tighten up, the more aggressively I raise until they start pushing back. If I have the big stack on the bubble I will often push virtually every hand if these guys keep on folding. Even if they push back and you have to fold, well, you've only given back some of their own chips. Plus there's the advantage of when you pick up a monster and raise/shove, they won't believe you...

    It's very situational...but when folded to in the SB it is often correct to raise (or push if you or your opp have <10x BB) any two cards on the bubble.

    Ok cheers.

    My end game defo needs improving.

    I think I feel that if I keep raising and raising with any 2 eventually when I'll get looked up and have to lay it down, which is a nuisance when the blinds are big.
