$27 Stars turbo for review

[taipan168]

Been a long while since I posted a tourney here, so I thought I'd put this one up for comment. All thoughts and feedback are welcome!

There are a couple of interesting spots in here, let's see if we can get a discussion going.

Nice tourney...
You got nice cards there...it is something rare to happen in a turbo game.
I would not call the bet on the 4th hand (despite the odds...Q9 seems weak to call).

After being crippled, getting a JJ is great to get back in the game. On the following hand, that was a nice move...shoving J5 from the button. Luckly, nobody called...but it seems better to shove here than wait for Ax from earlier position.

You got called when you shoved J5...lucky shot. I do not like the overshoving from the SB because the calling range is very wide, but I dont play turbos. I think it is quite reasonable here.

After you got the chip lead...you controlled the table with aggression.
Very nice! You were not only lucky, but also played good poker. Its better being lucky AND good.

God you suck. ;D

I would fold that A7o in the SB early on. The Q9 hand is iffy but eh in BvB.

tai, does it change your pushing range when you have pushed 3times in a row, how much ?

conditions:
blinds 300/600
Hero 8120
opp 5380

I know, he was pretty tight, but you are losing fold equity after 3 pushes in a row, i would probably slow down, but according to Wizard it is easy push with 96s. Calling range of villain must be over 49% to -EV.

I still have to work on it.

Guy was squeaky tight, even heads up. No way he was calling wider than 49%, but I take your point that he would loosen up his calling range once I've shoved 2-3 times already.

On the Q9 call, I was wondering about that one myself, but when I ran it in Wiz it is a good call if he shoves wider than about 45-50% (from memory) and considering his stack and the blinds and the fact that he seemed to know what he was doing I'd say he's shoving at least that wide.

4 - Q9 call is correct by far vs. this guy who happens to be an MTT reg and probably plays too loose for SNGs.

6, 8 - Is J5o your favorite hand?
Both of these shoves seem pretty bad against villains who are competent enough to call you light, which I'd say that at least one of them is since he called you with Q9o.

9 - I would just shove.

12 - Maybe post the J8cc hand right after this, it seems close...

1:I would probably bet flop with 2 overs + gutshot
4: You have to have a read on villian that he pushes very wide in order to justify a call
12: I think I fold this UTG
15: I can see the reasoning for pushing with the big stack, but with J3o I think I lay it down
A6 - I think I call this
