Can someone run this thru SNGWIZ or SNGPT and tell me if this is too loose a shove in this spot? In the CO, with 12 BB, and I played this whole tourney weak. Just bad. Whale away at me. Like, hand 3, I reraise with AA like 8X. Stupid? Or just a decent overbet gone wrong? And laying down QJ with an AKKx board to a small bet - seems like I probably just shouldn't have been in the hand, right? What else?

[rong]

I'd wait for Tai for a real good response, but here is my analysis and it aint pretty.

Hand 1 - raise less as you want action. I would have reaised 160.

Hand 2 - I don't like the raise and fold. Either raise and C bet flop or just check pre.

Hand 3 - Why are you playing this??? Just fold!

Hand 4 - fold pre. No point playing those cards against one other player.

Hand 5 - fold pre, this is just spewing chips.

Hand 6 - Why? I really don't get it!

Save yourself some time next & money next time and just go down the pub.

[Nakamura]

Hand 1 - Given your late position, I think the raise is a little strong. Raise to 240 I think. Raise enough not to give odds to pairs to set-mine you, since you'll be stacking off everytime.

Hand 2 - I tend to just check in these spots. Raising pre-flop and checking OOP seems spewy - most opps will fire regardless of the flop here. It seems like you are praying for an A or J, which only happens 32% of the time.

Hand 3 - fold pre. In a multi-way pot and in a LP, it can be argued to play this, but with just limper, I think it's bad.

Hand 4 - I tend to fold pre-flop. SC's are great on the button and IP. OOP in a raised pot versus one opp, they just suck.

Hand 5 - I'm not sure. I would lean towards pushing, but it's been a while since I played SNG's, so I'm a little rusty.

Hand 6 - I think this is a fold. Download SNGEGT and test it for yourself!

[dontezuma]

Hand 2, when he called the raise, PP or Ks are in his range so often, I gave up. Yeah, I should have checked pre, but AJs begs for a raise and I don't want limpers comfortable on my BB. But, yeah, I should have checked.

Hand 3 I was on the button, so i had position. AKx is the worst flop I could hope for. I'm obviously hoping for top pair, OESD, even second pair to continue. But two overs and a gutshot = fold.

Hand 4 - agreed. spew. But the minraise is so weak, I hate to let it go. But I have to, I know.

I do have EGT, but I posted this at work, so I guess I'll run it tonight when I get home. Thanks, men.

[JR9477]

I think the push on hand 5 is fine

[dontezuma]

Yeah, I just ran it thru SNGEGT, and they're both (Q4s push and Q8o push) negative EV. I'm a donk.

[Fortitude]

I did not read the other replies so my comments may be repeats of what others have already said.

Hand 4: I don't call a raise with 89s OOP. Maybe you had a read that the guy was loose and that you can outplay him postflop?
Hand 6: With 12 BB, the lightest I am shoving here is 66+ AT+ A9s+ KQs

hand 1- 3b size is a bit whack, you are going to lose value by RR this much. Std line is to 3x your 3b range vrs villain so that he'll be calling with weaker and not
make him fold out. You want him to come a long with weaker hands. QQ vrs spewy unknown is a RR but just a flat vrs a reg.


hand 2- You don't really want to bloat the pot oop with your margionals. Once you raise pre and miss you are oop and sort of feeling naked because you have to c/f when
villain donks. I would even just limp AQ here as well. Limping AK here isn't even bad though its good to mix it up with it sometimes.

hand 3- No reason to limp really as there is more value in stack preservation. The only time I would find myself limping here is if
there were much more limpers and I was otb with QJs. I can see you limping like qjs in a 45 as long as villain is playing something really bad
like 30/5 because we are trying to amass a stack for the FT but here just save yourself the trouble.

hand 4- Yes hands like this are temping but it just isn't worth it due to the small size of effective stacks, your implied odds just aren't there.
I think you played it very weak as well. As played I would prob just CR the flop as we have a gut shot and two overs. His weak C bet is just sort of asking for it as well. It looks very
unconfrontational to me so just take advantage of that. Your river check is just giving up.

hand 6- You range needs to be pretty tight here as you have more then 10bb and your hand is very meh in this spot. Off of the top of my head
im going to say you need to be something like 10%+ with such a big stack from this position.
