    Default 109$ SNG

    Hand 1:

    Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t100 (7 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FlopTurnRiver)

    MP2 (t2030)
    CO (t4690)
    Button (t1660)
    Hero (t2340)
    BB (t4365)
    UTG (t3915)
    MP1 (t1000)

    Preflop: Hero is SB with A, A.
    5 folds, Hero completes, BB raises to t300, Hero ask ftr.com

    Is it better to disguise my hand by just calling and see if i can atleast get a c-bet more from him? Or just fire it up pf, which would prob give my strong hand away?

    Hand 2:


    Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t100 (7 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FlopTurnRiver)

    BB (t2030)
    UTG (t4690)
    MP1 (t1660)
    Hero (t2640)
    CO (t4015)
    Button (t3765)
    SB (t1200)

    Preflop: Hero is MP2 with 9, 9.
    2 folds, Hero ask ftr.com

    Raise? Limp? Fold?

    Table has been semi-tight...My M=12,5 so I can't really raise it? I'm leaning towards a fold/limp...


    Hand 3


    Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t600 (6 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FlopTurnRiver)

    BB (t3732)
    UTG (t2166)
    MP (t4320)
    Hero (t2080)
    Button (t4124)
    SB (t3578)

    Preflop: Hero is CO with J, A.
    UTG folds, MP shoves, Hero thinks this is a clear call...

    MP has been pushing a bit, from UTG, SB, MP, but havent been called yet...Therefore i decided to call...Ran it through SNGPT and if i put him on 44+,A7s+,A9o+,KJs+ its -EV, but he probably isnt this loose...Comments?

    Hand 1: If you think it will be heads up, then call his raise to disguise strength.

    Hand 2: Raise to 500 is an option. I like doing this when you get into marginal M territory.

    Hand 3: Not a clear call, but it may be time to gamble after considering villains degraded range against your M. I expect him to flip a mid pair a lot in this spot.
    It's not what's inside that counts. Have you seen what's inside?
    Internal organs. And they're getting uglier by the minute.

    He has to be: 22+,A2s+,A3o+,KTs+,KJo+,QJs for it to be EV and would he be this loose, im thinking nah...

    Hand 1: i think a call is the best play here, even with the chance of facing another caller.

    Hand 2: I like a 4-5x BB raise here. How does M=12.5? I have it at 15.5. Is there an ante at 50/100 level on Party?

    Hand 3: If MP does have a mid PP, you are at best a coinflip. I personally dont like to call an AI with a flip, although i dont mind pushing one occaisionally. I just read an article on P5's about how too many people call AI bets with hands like AJ0. While you will be dominating sometimes, more often than not when you call you are putting your stack on the line for a coinflip. I think i fold here and pick a better spot.

    Mis-calc its 2600/150 = M=17

    Hand 1 - perfect spot to smooth call against aggresive opp. If he's tight, I would assume he has a hand he wants to go with and you want to get the money in now before he whiffs the flop.

    Hand 2 - what's wrong with a standard raise?

    Hand 3- I don't know how many mistakes you can make at 300/600 with 2k. You're playing one of the next three hands and your FE is pretty much nil, this seems like an OK spot, you may have him crushed. Those fancy tools don't take into account you're crippled in 4 hands.

    Only problem I have is how you can consider anything but a raise with 99 first to act after 2 folds 7-handed. Would you fold QQ at a full table? 99 is almost as good 5-way.

    hand 1
    unless u haev a read that hes going to raise you if u compelte, you should probably tend to raising here.
    in this case just flat call the raise and play from there.

    hand 2
    raise to 275

    hand 3
    call
    its still many handed but u have like 4x BB

    Hand 1 - I think you can just go all-in. In my experience limp-reraises all-in from the small blind don't get very much respect in higher-buyin tournaments (and rightly so, because people do it all the time with small pairs).

    Hand 3 - Callllllll. This might be marginally -EV but waiting until the blinds hit you is probably much more -EV.

    Hand 1 : call and make a checkraise on him, he will make a contiuation bet on every flop.

    Hand 2 : Just raise it 3 times, I dont know why you dont think you cant raise it, if you get called you can make a fold, you would be in position of the blinds and no one likes to make calls in $100 SnG, its diffrent than lower SnGs...

    Hand 3 : I dont like calling with AJ, its better to be the agressor, wait for a better spot, you can push with another hand soon, and you have to, you still got fold equity and a single double up will make you chipleader. Coinflips is wrong play in SnGs in my opinion, I rather be the agressor with a worse hand than AJ even it sounds stupid, because by being the agressor you can make them make the decision, not you and they will fold more often...

    Default 3 hands

    Hand 1- I would probably re-raise 2 out of 3 times. It just makes more sense to get your money in preflop with this hand. He is not going to fold. Who knows if he is a little loose he may even come over the top again.

    Hand 2- I don't know I like to limp with this hand unless I am close to the button. If you get called it will be by a bigger pair or a hand like AQ which is a coinflip. Best bet is to limp and prey for trips or few overcards.

    Hand 3- No questions asked- dump it! That is a pay off hand for bettercards. The raiser probably has a better hand then this anyway to raise from early position.

    Hands 2 and 3 to me are clearly 3x raise with 99 call the a/i with AJ. You are practically dead anyway.

    Hand 1 is interesting, but like all heads up stuff has some metagame. Have you completed your SB and folded to a raise previously?? Is he agressive and likely to raise here with air? You are living dangerously if you let him see a flop but never fold your Aces post flop. Given your stack size, you have to be thinking you are felting this no matter what. So I think it's important to raise enough to kill his implied odds. You are small stack and have 2.2K behind + pot of 400. I think you want to raise at least 600.

    I think you want to go with exactly 600 (gives him 5:3 pot odds) or push (which he might misread as weakness)

    I think you can just call - but you actually have to play post flop a little and be willing/able to get away if it looks like he hit 2 pair+.

    I don't think a re-raise really tables your hand because it's heads up - you could have any ace or like 77, KQ or something.
