hand 111: Bjsaust, I fold that too UTG.
hand 117: Detroit, looks close but I think I do shove here.
hand 118: Vn raise bjsaust.
hand 121: I like giving away chips.
hand 123: Not sure I call this, skeeno. As played, I do not call skeeno's shove here, bjsaust.
hand 124: I'm only responding to skeeno, much appreciation with that compliment but you HAVE to be confident. Don't ever think anyone is superior in game and just play your game.

108 - ehh i dont like it so much, rather just make standard raise

111 - yeah qjs its fold, especially if you think mkind will defend

113 - i think pushing kq here is closer than you think. with how tight everyone probably is, its probably ok

117 - a9 utg is close but good fold imo. probably would push AT

120 - i think this is ok, even if taipan knows your shoving wide. not a great spot though

123 - i think you just did some overthinking here. you've been shoving and stealing skeenos blind a lot so its easy to think he's just playing back at you. i agree with tai that calling with 67 is no good, even with the good pot odds

123 - Even if my thinking was right, I dont like my play here. I think I was on a mini-tilt, although looking back now its hard to say why. Not used to playing with people who play loose pf and good postflop poker I guess. With my stack I can very easily fold here, regardless of what Skeeno has. Definately a hand to learn from.

Hand 112 - bjs: if you think that todd is stealing (which he very likely is) I would shove back preflop rather than calling.

Hand 113 - Skeeno: Don't think that shoving KQo from UTG on a 5-handed table with your stack is +EV

Hand 115 - bjs: I'd try a steal here with QTo folded to on the button, particularly considering the stack sizes of the players left to act (Skeeno and myself) who you have covered

Hand 116 - kmind: Wow, calling an UTG raise with 32s from the BB is way way way too loose for a SNG, even with your stack size. I think you need to be much deeper stacked to be able to call and play some postflop here.

Hand 117 - Detroit: A9o is pretty close here, considering the table has been calling shoves pretty tight, folding isn't bad though.

Hand 118 - bjs: I actually like this re-steal against kmind.

Hand 121 - kmind: I agree with your comment, considering Skeeno's stack size there is no way he raises almost 1/3 of his stack without a hand that is begging for a call.

Hand 122 - myself: I was wondering here whether kmind was tilt shoving, but I can't take the risk with A2.

Hand 123 - bjs: Now here's my time for revenge for your comment on my call with the A2 hand (Hand 100). Preflop is obviously fine but the flop call is awful, particularly when you have 12.5x BB behind and it's the bubble. Sure, skeeno could be picking off your c-bet but geez, is it worth the risk here with 3rd pair?

- skeeno: I think your preflop call was a bit loose with 76o, if you think bjs is stealing you should shove back rather than call preflop. Since you have him covered on the bubble you have a lot of FE

yeah, tai probably is, but i put him on high overs and if i hit certain flops i should be able to get it allin pretty happily.
