    Default How did i play these (6.50)

    Hand 1: With AQ i mix it up between limping / raising. When first in i tend to raise , after EP limpers i tend to limp.
    Check turn to keep the pot small?

    Hand 3: Shoving the river here is better IMO than Valuebetting. What are your thoughts. My reasoning is if he was flushing for diamonds he's gonna fold to any bet and if he has a hand he commited this much of his stack with already than it's good enough in his mind to call a push.

    Hand 1 - I like it but you could consider a river blocker for ~400 to get value from QJ/KQ.

    Hand 2 - Fine w/o reads.

    Hand 3 - I like all streets. Never ever bet any less than a shove on the river.

    Hand 4 - Also fine.

    Good luck with the grind!

    Thanks. Just checked my VIP Status and didn't notice i was pretty close to silver star so now i can set a goal. I need to earn 550 more FPPS by Dec 31 (does this mean before Dec 30th @ 11:59 , or do i have all of Dec 31 to work on it?). So i have either 4 or 5 days to play 185 6.50 SNG's.

    Hand 1. I half pot the river if youre going to control the pot and fold to agression. Your hand does have value here.

    Hand 2. Is there any other way? <nice>

    Hand 3. It made sense.

    Hand 4. I would CR the turn and hoping to fill up on the river. Im checking either way on the river OOP.
