General comments:
- I thought you played quite well overall. Your aggression was good and your preflop hand selection mostly solid.
- I still think there are a few spots where you can tighten up your hand selection preflop, particularly when calling raises.
- Watch your raise sizes. When blinds hit 50/100 and above I usually raise 2.5x-3x BB rather than 4x BB as the same hands will fold to the small raise as the bigger one, and you save chips if you get shoved over and have to fold and if you c-bet the flop and have to give up.
1. AA - I make a standard raise to 80 here. A LOT of BBs will just call a perceived SB steal and a bigger raise builds the pot faster. I don't think that there are that many hands that they would call a minraise with but fold to an 80 raise.
2. JTo - this one is a bit marginal preflop but I guess it's OK because you are on the button. Postflop is played fine.
3. J8o - I usually just tend to fold this but calling isn't terrible. I'd definitely complete the SB if there was one more limper in front.
8 8 UTG (M = 22.87; F) (between 5 and 6) - I'd play this for a standard raise, it is awkward but I wouldn't open fold from UTG.
6. TT - just make a standard raise here, keeps the pot smaller when you c-bet the pot. Raising to 250 here would have let you c-bet 350 rather than 600 on the flop.
7. TT - I don't understand the cold call preflop. I'd make it 500 to go.
10. 72s - right idea, but I'd just shove it. Probably doesn't make much difference since you would have to call if he shoved over.
11. A7s - I don't like the call preflop since you will be OOP preflop, button is raising into the big stack's (you) BB so he likely has a real hand. As played, postflop is fine.
J K SB (M = 19.92; r+f+F) (between 12 and 13) - if you've seen UTG raise and fold to a push before I would shove this, you have massive fold equity
13. 96o - OK this hand is pretty ugly. Firstly, I would just fold to the raise. SB is the second stack so can hurt you if you make second best hand. Secondly, on the flop you MUST bet it rather than check behind, bottom two is a very vulnerable hand and a fourth either kills your action or loses you a lot of chips. Thirdly, if you didn't bet the flop then bet the turn. I'm not sure what you were afraid of on the flop or turn?
15. K7o - just raise it standard, saves you some chips if opp shoves over or calls.
17. Q7s - I like this, don't let the SB see a free flop!
18. You obv played fine. Wow, opp didn't even bet top pair!
5 8 SB (M = 4.82; f+F) (between 19 and 20) - I would shove this
20. 32o - I don't like this one since there are two players still to act. There's no shame in folding, you're short but not desperately so, and a lot of players (particularly when they have big stacks) loosen up their calling ranges once ITM.
21. A9s - guess this is OK, although opp almost never folds here.
8 7 SB (M = 9.24; f+F) (between 21 and 22) - I would shove this since opp is the new shortstack
T K BU (M = 8.90; F) - shove this too
23. 44 - guess this OK, but you're flipping or dominated a lot of the time. I don't mind the call because you're much more often flipping than you are dominated and you have correct odds to flip.
24. 32o - what is it with you and the worst hand in poker? I would rather have raised the J2o hand than this one!
25. 55 - perfect.
28. J2o - I would bet the turn for 5-600 or so after opp checks behind on the flop.
31. 95o - I would bet at least 1/2 pot with your trips on the river. I think betting smaller loses value since opp will very rarely fold to an 800-900 bet but call a 400 bet.
32. K3o - I would shove this one for sure since opp has only 5x BB and you've got an above average hand.
