trimmed tournament (6.50 turbo) - review please

[whooosh]

after taking a longer break i'm now playing sngs again starting with the 6.50 turbo at stars. although i'm quite confident about my play, i'm afraid that i'm missing some shoves in late game (eg. the 7 K beetween hand 8 and 9)

regarding the 1st hand: at these stakes i'm sometimes openpushing aces and kings in the first hand. you'll get a caller surprisingyl often with AK, QQ, TT.

(eg. the 7 K beetween hand 8 and 9)

I think you can't call this even if the villain pushes 100% hands here.
It is an interesting spot anyway, I wonder what would you push next hand on the UTG, is it right to push ATC (asking to all)?

[taipan168]

1. AA - I understand what you mean about being called by worse hands, but I really think that you lost a lot of value by shoving rather than standard raising. Think about the % of hands that would call an open shove compared to those that would call a standard raise. Your standard $6.50 player may call a standard raise with hands like KJo and QTs but they won't call a shove unless they're very bad indeed.

A 9 BB (Hero's M = 34.00; f+f+f+f+f+f+r+f+F) (between 1 and 2) - depending on the size of the raise I'd consider calling and seeing a flop here, but folding is fine too

4. A8o - I'd probably reshove if I wanted to play this provided I had a read that UTG wasn't a limp/re-raiser. Guess calling is OK though

5. A3o - 500 is better than 600, keeps the pot a bit smaller

7 K CO (Hero's M = 2.46; F+[/color]r+f+f) (between 7 and 8) - I haven't run it in SNG Wiz but I suspect this one could be a shove

7hKh between 8 and 9 - I wouldn't shove over this, you have no FE and there's always the chance that the blinds will call and somebody will bust out

Other than this, it's fine, looks like you're not too rusty. Only hand I really didn't like was the AA hand.

[whooosh]

thank you for your feedback.

and i misread the K7 hand: i didn't notice the raise before me.
