Full $22 Tourney if anyone's bored

[badgers]

Sorry for starting so many threads Finding a lot of stuff in my own play as I analyse my own play more, opinions always welcome. JJ hand deserves its' own thread methinks (hand 1) - here's the linky!

I think I did OK in this one, hand 2 is an intersting spot, hand 7 I misplayed HORRIBLY! Prolly better to raise preflop although this shallow I think a limp is OK, but I really really need to bet the flop...

Also, am I too eager to shove once I get ITM? Am I pushing too deep? Any other comments welcome and appreciated

Thanks

Well played sir. I think the push with JJ was kind of marginal and i would have folded it (as i said in your other thing) but it was fine. Raise preflop that AA hand. Other than that, you played very very well and the cards cooperated. No criticisms, keep up the good work!

Hand 2 - value bet the river. I thnk 350 would be a good. villian is a donk min raising preflop and will call with any ace.

Hand 3 - PFR to 240 instead. Played perfectly post flop.

Hand 5 - I don't like the push. Just complete the SB and see what you get. The bet the flop pot size hitting second pair.

AA - have to raise preflop here. Don't want luck to hit the blinds with 2 pair+.

I like a majotiry of the HU action though. Good Job!

Well played, I didn't see any real errors.

Hand 2 (AJs) - this is fine. With four hearts on the board don't bet this, it's rare that you'll get called by anything you beat.

Hand 3 (AQ) - I think raising to 180 is fine. Don't bloat the pot unnecessarily when you're OOP.

4 4 SB (M = 0.00; f+f+r+f+F) between hands 3 and 4 - I presume you didn't have set odds to call this.

Hand 5 (J3s) - I think shoving here is unexploitable, but raising to 600 may not be a bad play either considering stack sizes.

Hand 7 (AA) - you've been raising like a maniac, I would raise this one too, you'll get called if anybody has anything half decent.

Everything I would say is written by tai, except:

I really don't like Hand 5. Yes, you have a huge stack that can take the chance if called and still be big, but I don't see a push here. Villain has too much behind to make this +EV I think. A raise to 600, even 500, would get the same hands to fold and you could get away from the better ones.

J3s hand...is this really standard? I understand you pulling this kind of move if the blinds were 200/400 or if there was a guy shorter than him in chips...

Do we justify this move by saying his calling range is really small here or what? Help the noob!

Lol, didn't I recently see an operation thread of yours called "100k profit from poker"!?

According to SnG Wiz, this shove is +EV if the BB is calling ~14% or less. 14% is 44+, A8o+, A4s+, KJs+. Given that this is a 14BB shove on the bubble, calling any looser than than would be very bad, and is quite unlikely. 8-10% seems a more reasonable range, making this solidly +EV. Obviously, if the blinds were 200/400, I'd be much happier and would instapush ATC.

Maybe a raise to 600 is better, as Zee and Tai suggest, but shoving is +EV. No way am I just completing though, I am the big stack, fear me!

Hand 7 (AA) - you've been raising like a maniac, I would raise this one too, you'll get called if anybody has anything half decent.

Yeah the more I look at that hand, the more I cringe.

I said that the push was unexploitable (because unless he's a donk opp will never call wide enough to make it -EV) but raising to 500-600 may be a better play since opp would have to have seriously big balls to resteal considering that Hero is the big stack on the bubble.

I was more worried about him calling and getting married to top pair on the flop tbh. If I were to raise not shove, it would be to 600 as I really don't want him to call and see a cheap flop.
