6048

Hand 1: Bet the flop. What happened subsequently is one of the reasons why you should have done so, though you were extremely unlucky.

6047

Hand 6: 3s are a bit weak to push UTG in this spot.

Hand 13: Q7o is a bit weak to raise, even in the SB. It's not in the top 50% of hands to push. I think you need to be pretty sure that BB is going to fold to make that move here.

Hand 14: Difficult one. K7s is a fold if the SB is pushing 50% or less.

In hand 13 onwards, you are in a difficult position with the big stack on your left. You don't seem to have had many options, so at that point reads and table dynamics matter a lot. If the big stack was giving the short stack walks in the BB and the short stack was pushing into you most times from the SB, then I would have called with K7s.

Both SNGs seem to have been well played to me, but perhaps better players than me might see some other things. You seem to play a lot better than $1 standards.

thanks for the help


question:what do you think what range to raise in hand 13???

[Duffryn]

In hand 13, I would raise a very tight range of JJ+. Basically, hands that I would be prepared to call a shove from the BB with and ones that are easyish to play post flop if the BB calls. I wouldn't raise AK or AQ to be honest, because I'm not that good a post flop player and if I got called and the flop was J75 rainbow, I would be in a difficult spot with stacks this size. I would shove the top 40% of hands though, maybe also shoving JJ+ if I had been shoving a lot and I thought raising JJ+ was going to tip off the BB that I had a monster hand or that on future hands he could rule out a big pair if I shoved.

SNG Wiz recommends shoving the top 41.2% of hands if the BB will call with 20% of his hands. If you don't have Wiz and you are going to play a lot of SNGs, you should plan on getting it. It has a 30 day free trial. You can then play about with it to see what you should be doing in spots like this. If you do, you would discover that you can shove any two cards if the BB calls 10%, 41.2% if he calls 20%, 19.9% if he calls 30%, 16.9% if he calls 40% etc...

Thats why I said reads/table dynamics are important. If the BB is half decent, then he will realise its not in his interest to call you with a wide range and he is better saving his chips and shoving on the short stack. Then shoving Q7o might well be OK, but at this level he may be really bad and call you with K2. I like shoving 40% here because then you have a better than even chance that he was dealt a worse hand and if not, I don't think most people at this level would call wider than 20%, when calling would cripple them.

(If the BB was very very decent and thought you were decent then he would know it is profitable for you to shove quite wide here and so call a lot wider, so then you should tighten your shoving range. But that sort of thinking is way over the top for a $1.50 SNG I think)
