Comments on tournament - bubble play

[rudefella]

I've been wanting to post something where I have a good stack and good position to take advantage of the bubble to see what people think about my play. Cause that's something I've been working on.

In this tournament, after hand 10, my basic strategy was to shove any two any time the second biggest stack already folded. I took a few risks to get and maintain my dominating stack, are they too risky? A few hands in, probably shouldn't have shoved (there's a J5o), in there, for example. Also there's a hand where I reraise the second stack with 22.

Early on I played 99 and AQ pretty weak, so I'm sure I will get some shit for that. And probably should have shoved AA instead of re-raising over 1/3 of my stack.

Sorry for the delay in getting to this, I've been flat out busy and travelling like a freak.

1. 99 - you played it fine

4. AQ - I shove preflop considering your stack size, you've gotten yourself into a situation where you're too short to c-bet the flop and not lose a lot of chips so if this is going to happen, just shove preflop

5. A7o - I haven't run it in SNG Wiz but stack sizes are favourable here (the two big stacks are out of the way)

6. ATo - I think you played it fine, but why berate him for his call? Is opp paying you for poker lessons? If not, then don't give them!

11. J8o - I fold it, I'm actually very surprised that the BB didn't call since he has almost half his stack in the pot already. Plus very often at low buyin SNGs these guys don't realise just how tight they should be calling here

13. Q9o - put him AI preflop, he won't call unless he just limped a monster hand (or he's a total idiot)

18. 53s - fold it, see hand 11 for reasoning

19. 22 - I guess it's OK, NO way opp is going to risk bubbling here with the short stack so short

21. 63o - as per hands 11 and 18, fold this one

23. T5o - now you're ITM, it's time to ease up a little with the ATC shoves since the SB is going to call you pretty much 100% of the time. Just let him shove into the BB (who will call 100%) with a good chance of busting

The rest of the HU is weird, opp must have been sitting out.

Other than those comments above, I think it's fine, well played, once your BR can support it you could easily be a winning player at higher levels.
