Hey man, good to see an old face back on the boards! Hope that your business is going well!

General comments:
- Pay attention to raise sizes early in the game with limpers in front. 3x BB plus 1x BB for each limper is good. (At 10/20 and 15/30 I make it 4x BB plus 1x BB).
- Against low buyin donks it can be very effective to bet the flop when you make a big hand like trips since perversely this can disguise the strength of your hand (since they're expecting you to check a big hand since that's what everybody does obv!). I LOVE betting big hands particularly when a) it looks like a c-bet steal and b) against a LAGGtard.
- HU with big blinds you are completing or standard raising far too much, once you get to 10x BB or less just shove or fold it preflop (unless you're trapping with a monster which I wouldn't do too often).
- Otherwise, well done on the win! Clearly you're not as rusty as you think

2. AKs - I raise more preflop, 150 is good with the limper in front. Last thing you want is to get called in multiple places ahead of you. As played, BET THE FLOP, particularly with the flush draw out there! Don't give a free card here, if opp has Ax he will stack off just as often on the flop as on the turn. As you played the flop, I'm not folding either although AJ has become a possibility at this stage.

3. AKs - again, raise more. This time I make it 250 (3x BB plus 1x BB for each limper). As you played it, I would bet the flop a bit harder, 250 seems good.

4. A4o - fine

5. K6s - I typically don't even bother completing here, implied odds aren't really all that great at this blind level (remembering you only hit 2 pair or better about 4% of the time and the deepest stack here is 2000 so it's pretty marginal).

6. AJs - definitely muck it preflop, particularly since you're OOP postflop.

7. 44 - fine

8. Q9s - haven't run it through SNG Wiz but I suspect this one is a bit marginal, particularly with the big stack in the BB. Don't think it will be terribly -EV though but I think you can find a better spot than this.

10. 73o - personally I just fold this crap against a fellow big stack although if you're going to play then I do like raising. As played, I definitely bet the flop to make it look like a c-bet - 600 or so seems good - and I hope that opp shoves over with a bluff.

12. 65s - this is the other way to play Hand 10 - complete SB then bet any flop. If you are going to bet, I would bet a bit less though, no need to bet full pot. If he'll fold to 400 he'll fold to 250, and it saves you 150 chips.

13. AA - definitely raise a bit more preflop, I make it 600-700. DEFINITELY do not check the flop given it's drawy - bet 2/3 pot or 500 here and take it from there. Once the turn and river come both scare cards I play it like you do and just call down. However, not betting the flop lost you this hand since you gave opp a free card to beat you.

15. A6s - shove it preflop, as played I don't mind this "go and go" given the flop is pretty dry/safe for it.

16. 87o - good.

17. 53o - just shove it dude, if you get called you just burned 1/3 of your stack.

18. 96s - sometimes I shove back preflop, you fold out a LOT of hands that beat you by doing so.

J A SB (M = 4.72; f+p+F) (between 18 and 19) - good fold I think

19. 54s - check down is good against two opps and with a monotone flop.

21. QJs - guess this is OK but personally I just shove it, you'll be ahead of shorty's calling range and BB can't call without a monster.

24. 96o - ugh I don't like this one. Firstly, with blinds at 300/600 I am pretty much shoving or folding preflop (and neither is really bad). As played, I just fold to the turn bet, you don't have odds to chase your OESD and DEFINITELY fold to the river bet although I hate these donkminbets too and want to raise the shit out of them!

Between 24 and 28 - I basically shove every single hand from the SB here

28. QTo - shove it, you have an above average hand and opp won't call you light

29. 84s - shove or fold preflop

30. QTo - shove it preflop.

Thanks for the reply Tai.

gettin back into it and finding my feet again. I'll keep posting hands etc when I can.

lots of hands I should have just shoved on and around the bubble.

thanks again though. appreciated
