Back from the Dead, with a tourney to boot! $6.50 PS 9-man

[zachaser]

What's up guys? Been a while since I've been on the forums. Had some ups and downs at the 3.40's at Stars, finally won enough money to take a shot at the 6.50's, and just the first two I played an hour ago. I now have a sufficient bankroll to start playing the 6.50's, so look for my posts to appear more often! Anyways, I'm posting one of the two, will post the other later. NOTE: Please comment on my push/fold especially. I know this is important at higher levels. I will comment on relevant hands. Here we go!
P.S. Taipan please take a look!

Hey man, good to see you back! I'm flat out at the moment but I'll try to get to this as soon as I can.

Wow, the old software-based tourney trimmer, that's a blast from the past!

Overall, gg. Most of my comments are only matters of style rather than real "errors". I really liked your late game shoving.

1. 77 - I would probably limp and play for set value this early. The problem is that if you get raised you can't call, so I'd rather limp and just call if anybody raises. Postflop is obv fine.

2. JJ - you played fine (I'd reraise too), but I wouldn't show.

4. AKo - absolutely fine, nothing else you can do other than shove it. I'd shove up to 13x BB here.

5. A8o - bit of a marginal play, but if your read is that the table is tight I guess it's OK. As you acknowledge, standard play is to just dump it here. BTW, don't assume that the players at a $6.50 are paying attention to how many hands you have and haven't played or have a HUD to figure it out.

6. 73s - absolutely fine.

8. A9o - I think this is fine. Big stack button minraise, you've got a good hand, I'd definitely shove this unless big stack had been SUPER tight. You do have some FE here I think.

10. 64o - if you're feeling gutsy and you've seen opp limp and fold to a raise previously I'd shove back in his face - he won't call you wide because you have him covered.

[Jd 5s] SB (M=6.86; f+f+f+F) (before Hand 12) - I'd shove this

12. Q5o - all day long!

14. J4o - I'd like this a lot more if you were in the BB rather than having the BB still to act. I'd also like it more if opp was in the SB.
