    Default stars micro MTT for review.

    I'm usually a cash game player, but I'm trying to get some variety in my game and been dabbling in the micro buyin stars tournaments.
    I did pretty good in the beginning, but I didn't really use the big stack to my advantage.

    Hand 27 and 28 are questionable,.
    Hand 44, the raiser had a big stack and was using it , the guy who pushed was shorter than me and thus more desperate, and he probably noticed the raiser's aggression, so I elected to push. Is this a situation where you prefer to wait for a better spot or gamble to accumulate? Also note we were already in the money during this hand.
    After this with a low M, I just shoved every decent hand I got. Maybe I should have folded the last one.

    Thoughts?

    hey I played in this one (bubbled )

    I'll note I'm not that great at tournies but here are some thoughts:

    anywho, I don't like the QJo isolation (28) and I guess I just open shove the AJo with 12-13BBs at this level instead of open-raising 3bbs. They flat so much PF in spots where they shouldn't but that makes life hell postflop. I don't like the shove 3-way, heads-up I can see it, but in a multi-way pot I'm not a huge fan.

    What's with the SB limp with T7o, I just fold it, that guy seems to be in every pot.

    Hand 33 I hate this spot with AJ/AQ type hands if I don't have a good handle of what people are limping. I've actually started checking AJ here and raising just AQ/AK.

    Hand 35 I'm pretty much never flatting AQ/AJ OOP especially against an EP raise

    Hand 36 I cbet smaller, like half-pot at most on this board texture

    AT MP2 (M = 18.29; f+f+f+F) I open this

    Hand 37, again I dont get the limping in the SB, esp. with ATo, certainly worthy of a raise here

    I'd note I think you started shoving with too big a stack, like 15-16BBs seems too much.

    9 J CO (M = 8.14; f+f+f+f+f+F)
    T K CO-1 (M = 8.10; f+f+f+f+F)

    both of these look like opens in LP if the players aren't short behind you

    Last hand, def. folding 33 to that PF action, you'd still have like 12BBs.
