A few new faces in this one. WildBob might be one to watch, hasnt played SnGs for a fair while, but used to multi-table $109s. If he remembers how to play it could be tough.
    Badgers is probably going to be the most solid player here. Dont expect him to make any mistakes ICM-wise, he's got all that down cold. Jack won the last one, but hasnt played many SnGs lately.

    already.

    I just had 2 Taco Bell cheesy beefy melts they are spectacular. Definatly their best menu addition in a while. Ok so basically my strategy is to play tight as hell
    and not risk any chips early. Your edge in SnGs really comes from bubble play. In this situation, I have very little EV if any at all since I'm assuming most
    of the FTR posters know ICM pretty well so this SnG will probably come down to who picks up the cards.

    Had there not been two others behind me I probably would have re-raised him.

    He's probably just trying to outplay me w/ position and sykedd calls too. I'm not going to cbet this into 3 other people.
    Triptanes bets it, he probably has a mid pair and senses weakness, it's a pretty good bet since he knows I don't have anything after I checked the flop.
    The only thing he has to worry about is getting check/raised from the other two people in the pot.***

    quite a bit, raising to steal and calling raises, maybe he is taking
    advantage as he knows everyone will be playing tight early.

    I really don't ever resteal in an SnG, you're just putting too many chips at risk for a small gain and losing chips early in an SnG just kills you so much more than in an MTT or Cash Game.***

I made a standard cbet on the flop, it's a dangerous flop and I was tempted to check behind but then it's obvious I have no hand and I would expect Mike to take it on the turn. I REALLY wanted to fire a second barrell on the turn, and had there been no jack on the board (so an Axx flop with a rag turn), I would have. This is because I think AQ/AJ make up a big part of his range and they would not be able to call a second bet. Obv I don't even THINK about anything like this unless I know opp can play.

    Flop
    Flopped TPTK on a board he is likely going to continuation bet into.
    I don't want to scare him off and HU i'm not too worried aobut teh FD.

    Turn
    Not a great card for me. OOP lets see what he does.

    River
    well its likely a chopped pot but i can't give him the chance to check through with hand.

    Ax atleast unless

    Mid/low pairs just become unplayable w/ these stacks, you're basically reducing your hand to 72o

    [quote="BjsAust"]Loose, but I thought I might be able to make something of it. Doubted my 'pretend set' would work again so folded. Called Badgers raise because he could do that with almost ATC. Possibly a 3-bet PF?[quote]

    I wouldn't have called Badgers RR if I was Trip, I use
    the 15x raise rule to call for set value only,
    maybe he wanted to send a message or thought he could take it away after the
    flop certainly looked like he would have wo
    it with a bet there.

    Note from Ben: Somethings messed up with Wildbobs hands here. He seems to be out of whack with the hands.

    They both played that hand awful, that was a bad open by mike, bad call by triptanes, then it was horrible by both of them to get it in with middle pair on an A high flop.

    On the flop I try to make it obvious i have an ace..

    Trip doesn't believe me, and I don't believe him. His raise gives me room to re-raise so that he can fold.. So I try and take advantage of that, oops its triptanes Smile


    He decides to get it AI against a nit with 2nd pair on an A high board after I raised preflop, way to go Trip!

    Once mike raises him he should either call or fold, there's no point in shoving over someone that you have no FE with KQ when you can use your position on the flop.
    THe best option would have been to muck though since even though they have a little history, I don't think mike is restealing from his UTG + 1 raise.

    I'm kidding, it's just annoying when people do that. AA vs KK, nothing sykked could do there.

    rather be the one pushing rather than calling,
    I think Avi's range here is tight enough that I'm likely behind or flipping
    only.
    I don't think weak aces make up a huge part of his range.
    Turns out I wudda beat TT and AA with a straight.

    It was a good shove by Bjs and that's how you're supposed to bully people with a big stack

I identified WildBob as a risk pre-game and this is a nice spot to take him out.
    If I lose, I've sent a message to him and everyone else that I'll defend my blinds.

    Hmm if i knew he was going to call me that light with QT, I would not have shoved, he has the chips to gamble I guess and he's running good but still, if you get a chip lead, you need to be protecting it.
    You need to avoid all in confrontations where you are only a marginal favorite and use your chips to put pressure on others by shoving, not by calling off your stack. With that being said, it wasn't a bad call.
    He knows I'm going to be shoving any two there and QT is about even with my range. Some people like to gamble with a big stack and others like to protect it

    Anything can happen though, certainly not over yet.

    A mistake, but I think moreso because it wasnt necessary, than that it was a bad move.

    to risk it with me as the shortie.
    Unfortunatly for BJ Badgers had top pair and had to call the Check

    Great example of where I didnt adjust my play to my opponent, but he did. GG, better poker played by 2woKicker.

    win, Bj is down to 22 chips.
    Not sure I would have called here if I was BJ but he may have thought I was
    raising pretty wide (which I was) but I just
    hate to call an all in with hands like that, I'd rather be the one
    pushing.

    I like this play as I don't mind playing a limped pot just to hit a set or

    confindently reraise him all in because I know he will be stealing pretty
    wide and this makes my hand look big.
    If he calls I may be flipping or in bad shape against an overpair, however I
    think this is worth the risk.

    Looking back I think maybe this was a mistake, I still have a decent stack

    Maybe I'm just being results orientated.

    stages and I think this affected my play a bit.
    Overall I think I made a few mistakes but played OK otherwise.
    Not alot you can do when playing a table full of other good Sng players than
    just play standard, I think I tried to adjust by
    not stealing as much later on in the game in fear of getting reraised, this
    was maybe a mistake and I got blinded down a few
    times. I think I found a few good spots for resteals.
    My plan was to mix it up early but I decided to play it tight and patient as
    many people were getting involved.
    Just dipping my toes back in.
