$5 SNG Trimmed - Am I too tight?

Results 1 to 4 of 4

    Default $5 SNG Trimmed - Am I too tight?

    Alright, so the end result of the tourney is great, but am I playing too tight? Basically the feel I got from these guys was that they were calling with anything so if you don't have the goods you're screwed (can't bluff a calling station right?). I'm sure there's room for improvement, so I'm anxious to hear what y'all have to say.

    OK, I'm glad you posted this because you have quite a few leaks that I can see:

    - Number one is FOLD FOLD FOLD small pocket pairs and A-crap sooted from early position with blinds 25/50 and above. I fold A-crap sooted in EP at all blind levels.
    - Think about your bet sizing, if you're bluffing then there's no point donkminbetting offering opps a million to 1 pot odds. Plus there are times when you bet full pot or close to full pot when 1/2-2/3 would be sufficient - if you get raised then it saves you some chips
    - Don't donkminraise either, it's a waste of chips - if you would rather opps fold then raise more, if you have a monster hand then raise more to get more chips in the pot. The rule that I use is 4x BB at 10/20 and 15/30, 3x BB at 25/50 and 2.5-2.75x BB at 50/100 and 75/150 and 2.5x BB above that (but I raise 3x BB at 100/200 ante 25).

    4. A4s - I guess calling preflop is OK because you are in the CO and there are two limpers in front.

    6. K2o - maybe I'm a nit, but I usually just fold this, you get cold called by a lot of Kx-type hands and can lose a lot of chips on a K high flop. As played it's fine but I would probably bet 200 on the turn.

    7. KTs - I don't even bother calling preflop when you'll be OOP even though you're getting 3.5 to 1 preflop odds.

    8. A3s - this one I definitely dump preflop since blinds are 25/50 and there's only one limper.

    10. Q7s - don't donkminraise if you want to steal. Your stack is at a level where you're basically push/fold preflop and this one is a fold. As played I think the c-bet is fine, but do you see that if you get called or raised you have to let it go and have burned almost 40% of your stack.

    11. 88 - don't like the limp considering your stack size - if you get raised (unless it's a donkminraise) you pretty much have to toss it because you won't have set implied odds and you'll have burned 100 chips for nothing.

    13. A5s - nonononononono you have to stop limping these A-crap sooted type hands, particularly from UTG and PARTICULARLY with such a short stack. You fried 100 chips (almost 10% of your stack!) for nothing here.

    14. K7s - fine, checking and getting it in on a K or 7 high flop is also fine

    15. 33 - nononononono this is an easy fold preflop from UTG with 12x BB. Raise or fold only once blinds hit 50/100 and if you're raising you have to shove (and this isn't a +EV shove).

    16. 77 - read dependent but mostly fine I think

    18. KTo - dump this preflop from UTG. Raise or fold only once blinds hit 50/100 and this is a fold. As played, I need a good read that opp bets the flop every time first in to raise the flop bet, and if I'm raising I'm not donkminraising.

    20. JTo - fine up to the river where I check behind for sure. You need to think about the hands that would call your river bet and what calls your bet that you beat (there are some hands but probably more than beat you).

    21. K9s - I just dump it preflop, you'll be OOP postflop. As played, your flop donkminbet is COMPLETELY pointless when there are 600 chips already in the pot and two opps seeing the flop (so opps are getting at least 4:1 pot odds). Just check/fold it.

    22. 22 - fold preflop from UTG. This is definitely a leak of yours, to limp pocket pairs and A-crap sooted from UTG with big blinds.

    24. J8s - fold this crap even from the SB

    26. K9o - as per hand 20, I check behind on the river for sure, that is a very dangerous board and opp could be pulling a river check/raise...

    27. K4s - fold preflop

    28. QTo - once blinds hit 75/150 I usually just make it 2.5x BB to go, saves you some chips if you have to let it go

    29. A3s - fold preflop for sure

    31. Q2s - preflop steal is fine but your bet sizing is all screwy on the flop, I'd make it 600 to go here

    34. 82o - given that this guy donkbets the flop every time first in, I am very tempted to raise him, and I would if he had minbet, but it's a bit too expensive here

    35. K8o - river bet is OK here with top pair but 400 is plenty and saves you some chips if you get check/raised

    36. K9o - I'd be tempted to raise opp here, you've seen once before that he folds to raises and if he calls you have position postflop. As played, I bet a little less like 300-350 on the flop

    37. 98o - raise or fold preflop, I choose fold

    39. A2o - good, don't limp

    40. A7o - good

    41. 87o - completing once is OK, now that he raised you don't do it again

    42. J9o - don't limp, raise or fold only!

    43. K2o - don't donkminbet, think about the pot odds you're offering opps! Make a real bet if you're going to bet.

    44. K8s - don't donkminraise, make it 600 to go here (I add an extra 100 because of the antes). As played you absolutely have to call.

    45. Q8o - don't donkminraise

    46. 96o - DITTO, I just fold this. As played, flop donkminbet is pointless, do you realise you offered opp like 5.25 to 1 to call your bet so is he ever folding?!?!?! Just check behind.

    47. JTs - good, put in a real raise

    48. 74o - bet the turn, bottom two pair is a very vulnerable hand, I want to end it now. This is not a hand to slowplay. What if opp shoved the river?

    49. A3s - just open shoving this hand is OK too

    50. A3o - don't donkminraise

    51. J9s - just check and see a flop rather than donkminraising (and if I was raising here I'd make it 1400 not 800). I make it 1000 to go on the flop as a c-bet. As played, this is one of the few times I don't mind trying for a check/raise, but if opp checks behind you lost a street to get your chips in.

    I appreciate the feedback taipan. I know it takes a while to read through and comment, especially as specifically as you did. I didn't realize I was playing that many A-ra-gsuiteds and small pairs utg. Part of that habit I think has developped because so many games I'm in, I watch the limps go round all day long without folks raising them, so I think "Hey why not go ahead and take a shot at the set or nut flush shot" for cheap. I do realize that long term and especially against good opponents that leak will cost me huge. I need to work on that. Thanks.

    The heads up play - I've found that raising with regular strategy heads up doesn't work for me. I forget where I read it, but basically the concept I use against MANY (not all) opponents heads up is, if I'm on the button and I'm going to play the hand I double it (donk minraise). The reasons are:
    1. The pot is going to be at least double when I've got position. It's ASTOUNDING how many of my opponents simply complete the the blind nearly every hand on the button. If they do that the whole time and I double every time, I'm playing all the pots in position at double the size, that's a huge edge.
    2. My opponent will fold way more hands than they should to me.
    3. When my opponent gets the balls or the cards and actually re-raises me (doesn't happen often at this level - maybe twice/headsup match on average) I won't lose much by folding if I've got a weak hand.
    4. My opponent will (sometimes) eventually figure out my pattern and realize I'm raising almost every time on the button - and underestimate my hand when I pick up something big - this happens all the time and I get them allin on a monster -- with regular raises (3XBB or whatever) I can't get folks to make that mistake hardly ever!

    This last part is by no means an argument with your comments. Simply thought I'd share my heads-up concept/strat with you since you took the time. While it may seem like crap to you, it works for me. I win more than 50% of my heads up play and I'm rarely the bigstack going in (probably less than 40% of the time).
