    Default Some more hands for review please

    Opp is a loose gambler. I should have probably made this more pre flop.

    MP1 bets t200, Hero ?


    Had been reading through Ginger's study night, and he said betting more than 3x bb was a leak with unpaired hands. And to keep my pf bet sizing the same as unpaired hands I just did 3x bb.
    Again opp is a loose gambler.

    Is this a bad push? I wasn't worried about CO or the BB as they both need big hands to make an ICM call. SB however can call with a lot of hands.

    Hand 1 (AA) - against a loose gambler limping preflop I make it 100-120 to go. I want to build a big pot against this guy and keep on betting since he's loose. Flop bet is good and now I shove over on the turn (or make it 600 to go and put him AI/call shove on the river)

    Hand 2 (KK) - Don't believe absolutely EVERYTHING you read in Ginger's thread , I make it 4x BB here from UTG, I want to build a big pot with a big hand. As played, on the flop I raise to 400 with all those players in the hand, your raise actually gives opp 3.5 to 1 odds to see a turn card. As played, that's not a great card for you on the turn so I probably check behind and see what comes and what he does on the river (if it's not an A, if he checks again then bet, if he bets then call).

    Hand 3 (KK) - preflop is fine, I wouldn't shove. On the flop, I give up although the fact that there are 2 As on the flop reduces the chance that opp has a third A.

    Hand 4 (AQs) - it's fine, I play it the same. Not sure I would shove AJo in this spot though (I haven't run it in SNG Wiz but AJs would probably be the bottom of my range).
