$3.40 Pokerstars 1-Table SnG [turbo] HH analysis?

[Ginciuz]

Ok, finally I've decided to post my tournament to get some advice on my play. I was surprised myself that only 8 hands were played, so the question would be: am I playing too tight?

I know that I got very lucky on my last hand but: was that a correct shove?

I'm kinda new to sngs, so any suggestions that would or should improve my game are welcome.

Thanks in advance for your help.

So, how badly do I play?

Hi and welcome to FTR, it's good to have you here!

The trimmer did something very strange to the hands you folded, not sure what's going on there...but anyway:

1. AQo - I'd make this 250 to go. You are first to act postflop so you want to try to thin the field, and the other reason to raise is you likely have the best hand so you don't mind getting some chips in the pot. On the flop, 150 should be enough, you actually want them to call with hands that you beat (worse Ax, maybe KQ, etc.)

2. 42o - I really don't like the way you played this. I just check/fold the flop with bottom pair on a drawy board. I'm very surprised that opp folded to your river bet, at a $3.40 tourney I would expect them to call. This is spewing chips in the long run!

A T BB (Hero's M = 6.15; f+f+r+f+F) (between 2 and 3) - Button raise, <10x BB - I shove back in Button's face for sure.

7 4 SB (Hero's M = 5.21; f+f+f+F) (between 5 and 6) - I'd need to see the exact sizes but I probably shove here

6. 76s - if he has been limp/folding a lot I shove here, if he's been limp/calling I check. Postflop is fine but I probably bet 800 on the flop and shove the turn, it looks a little more desperate (and therefore likely to get called by hands you beat).

8 2 SB (Hero's M = 4.61; f+f+F) (between 6 and 7) - could be a shove depending on stack sizes

7. 22 - definitely shove this if you're going to play. There's no room to just complete here since you don't have implied odds to play for set value because stacks are too shallow (and unless you hit a set you'll have no idea whether your hand is good).

8. K9o - shove is absolutely fine.

To your question, I think that in the early stages you are playing correctly tight, but in the later stages there were a couple of hands you could/should have shoved that you folded or checked in the BB, and one hand where you completed where you should have folded or shoved.

Hope that helps, pls post if you have any queries.
