More (hopefully better) $16 tourneys

[Nakamura]

Another attempt at the $16's, trying to incorporate some of gingerwizard's comments into my play.

TOURNEY 1

A6o - Final hand is probably -EV as opp has to be pushing wider than 33% to make this call profitable.

TOURNEY 2

Tc5c - I have 100 hands on opp. He seems like a calling station. Do we want to bet this flop and build the pot? The turn opens up more opportunities to win the hand. I have to bet out at the turn, right? Call seems standard, given the odds.

Q7o - Marginal push. Opps have to both be calling wider than 20% to make this -EV, so I think it's ok ... hmm given that the BB is a calling station this might be a fold (although he did pause for a long time before calling).

TOURNEY 1
Hand 3 A9o in the cutoff. I open ATo maybe but not A9.

Hand 5: A7o, definitely a fold for me

KQo MP2 (M = 11.13; f+f+f+F)
I raise this in position. Much better hand than A7o to play post flop.

Hand 7: I don't like the shove with 22 here. I fold this with your stack.
You have more than 10BBs, and don't need to shove small PPs. I shove maybe 88+, AJs+ AQo+ here I think, but I may be tempeted just to open for 2.5x and fold to a shove.

Hand 8: I think this is a call. He should be shoving ATC here so you're well ahead of his range. Perhaps if you had a read his push/fold game was weak (very hard to get one early in 16 turbo) I fold. Really need to run the calcs though. One for SNGWIZ I think.

Tourny 2

Hand 1: T5s is marginal. I building a big pot OOP with a baby flush draw is marginal. When he calls the flop I check the turn and see if I can get a cheap river.

KQo MP2 (M = 26.78; f+c+c+F), nothing wrong with a limp behind limpers here if you can resist the urge to build big pots post flop with TPGK, and fold to a raise pf.

Hand 5: K2s button limp to your BB. I shove over

I think the last hand is ok. You need a shove and that's how turbos go. You lost too much in Hand 1 IMO.
