$33 on Stars for Review

[GatorJH]

According to SNGWIZ (default settings) I made the wrong decision on 3 hands, but would love to hear other's thougts. If you want to know stack sizes, etc. an any hand just let me know.

Also, maybe it is just timing, but the two $33's I have played in seem to ten times nittier than the $22's. Anybody else see this?

Hand 1: Fine, might consider a smaller bet on the river to entice villian to bluff on his missed draw.

Hand 6: Nothing profound here, without a read I c-bet most of the time.

Hand 8: It all depends on ranges/reads, but much like the $27's and $22's people are going to be calling wider then you might expect. With no antes I would probably fold this spot.

-I like the other pushes except the last hand.

Last Hand: I don't like this without a very specific read. Villian is not putting in ~30% of his stack without a hand that beats you, I guess the best you could hope for is KQ. Based on the hand history it appears that you have been going AI with some frequency which diminishes your fold equity. I just don't think this is the right spot. Being the first to enter the pot is so valuable, and you know the player to your left is in no urgency for chips and will be calling your push with a fairly tight range.

I agree that the call was bad and even told myself so as I was pushing the bar over. I lost my patience, which was stupid.

The only comment I disagree with is your statement regarding diminished FE. Prior to that hand I had only shoved 2 hands out of the last 18. IMO that is a pretty tight image.

I must have misread the history as it looked like four times in the two orbits preceeding the last hand and thus my thoughts on diminished FE, my mistake.

If you thought your image was tight enough for villian to fold to your push in the last hand then that is a read and you should go with it. I don't have any info on the villian but I think in this particular spot you would have to have a very tight image, or have specific history with villian for him to fold.

[GatorJH]

I didn't have a read and most certainly agree that the shove was bad.
