First ever $60 tournament for review, Stars

[zachaser]

So with $875 in my account, I'm definitely not rolled for this, just decided to take a shot. I could tell I'm not quite ready, mainly because I can't distinguish between the lagtards and the good players who want to play a lot of postflop. Here we go:

I'll take a look at this later, but bankroll management

If you want to take shots with your roll, try the $27s, they aren't much harder than the $16s.

[bjsaust]

Man, I thought you must have really pwned while I was gone .

Looks pretty good to me. I'd love to play back at that rickrude guy somewhere, but its tough to find a spot.

[taipan168]

3. AQs - I don't hate this, but you have to be really careful as this sort of raise may well be a monster hand that will call your shove. I probably play it safe and dump it.

[Tc Td] BB (M=11.90; f+f+r+p+f+F) (between 3 and 4) - agree with your fold, if you had open raised and gotten shoved over by Mr LAGG I would call.

4. AKo - this is fine, nice push over the limpers.

[5s 6d] BU (M=2.96; f+f+F) (between 6 and 7) - I agree, I would probably push this with less than 5x BB.

7. J9s - fine, I think you very likely have two live cards here, considering the pot odds this is fine.

10. 94s - you played this fine, definitely c/f against a LAGG player with the big stack on the bubble when you're second stack.

Other than that I think you played fine.

[3c 3d] BU (M=3.31; c+F) <-- We're still on the bubble here, and of course the limper is rickrude, the big stack.

Tough spot but I think folding seems like the right play. I can't imagine you having much fold equity. You also have a pretty good spot at the table being to the right of 2 shortstacks. I'd rather just steal the blinds than have an almost guaranteed coinflip

[zachaser]

Good to know rickrude is a fish for the future. He was being a douche at the tables, basically insulting everyone for no reason. Usually wouldn't mind it, but it was the only table I played at the time.
