couldnt really find a single hand during review that i had a big question on, so general review it is.

[The Norg]

I'm not as experienced as most of the guys here, but I'm not sure I like either play to be honest.

Early doors I would probably have folded the AJo from UTG+1. 9 players, no position and a weak hand makes for a tough play here regardless.

The second hand, well, what range is he calling with? You are probably stealing, he has position, he could be calling pretty wide. I guess it's a little early doors to consider having much in terms of reads. So, I'm checking this flop, and folding to a bet, TPTk or not. Certainly when called on the flop cbet, I think you have to check the turn even though it bricked? I may be wrong, but my line would certainly have been a cautious one with this flop.

[Fielmann]

Yeah, hand 1 I'd open-fold too. I'm a nit though.

Hand 2 is played perfectly.

[Zorkion]

I wouldn't raise AJo from UTG+1, but I might limp it and see if anything exciting happens. Is that just spewing a bb since we don't actually want to play AJo multi-way?

And yeah I think you don't assume the guy hits a flush in #2. You have tptk and you're inviting a scary bluff if you don't bet the flop. Brick turn I'd shove over too since he didn't raise the flop. Giving too much credit to $2 players probably but unless he's holding the nut flush he probably would have put you all in on the flop in case you're holding the Ac.

OK, on this tourney:

J Q Button (Hero's M = 19.13; f+f+f+F+c+s+s+s+s+s+s+s) (before Hand 1) - I'd raise this 2.5x BB and take it from there

5. J9s - I think this is OK but I like it more if you have a read that opp has been steal raising a lot. Plus your hand tends to have decent equity if you're called

6. A8o - big stack limping in front = fold for me. If you want to raise, 300-350 is plenty in this spot. As played, I'd c-bet the flop rather than checking, as played one opp checks behind on the flop betting is fine.

7. JTo - don't like this one. Firstly there is a shorter stack than you around and secondly you're up against the big stack. I just check the BB and see whether we can flop something nice.

8. Q8s - haven't run this in SNG Wiz but I am 99% sure that this isn't a good shove.

9. AKo - fine

10. A3o - think this is probably OK too

11. Q8o - what is it with you and Q8? This is a definite fold for me, there will be better spots than this with 9x BB.

[Zorkion]

yeah, i know about the q8s. i realized it at the time, but only a bit after a made the call.

FWIW, in the first tourney, I could go either way with the AJo in UTG+1 but I probably lean towards folding it.
