Hand 60 - standard shove, nh

Hand 70 - definetly losing value by not shoving over preflop. any hand has to call your shove. 3betting with JJ there seems fine, but I think I'd be folding TT since bjsausts range should be super tight

Hand 71 - I think I'd shove over with 88 there, you should have a good amount of fold equity and should be ahead of his range

Hand 72 - Dont think your deep enough to be playing for set value, especially oop

Hand 73 - As played I'd be folding 22 since you don't have fold equity anymore. Kminds move doesnt seem terrible, but I'd just shove preflop rather than 3bet. It can become -EV really quick if Legacy doesn't have a tight calling range (which is definetly possible given kminds image). If I had 22 there and knew I had an aggro-image and the BB was defending and 3betting light, I'd just fold preflop tbh

Hand 74 - I'd probably be raising J9 there but I can't blame you for taking a break

Hand 75 - misclick?

70 - Definately a mistake, didnt think this one through. As a matter of course I rarely take standard lines v's kmind, but here theres more deception in shoving than anything else.

72 - I'm confident I can get kmind ai 100% of the time if I hit. He always thinks I'm bluffing. I'm almost exactly 10:1 implied odds if so, and I can take this off him postflop without hitting on some good boards. This isnt a good board to steal v's his range Wink

.

75 - limping now is just a terrible waste of chips unless you're tarping, and with your image tarping here would be bad.

Yeah, Hand 75 sucks pretty bad.

I am such a nit

Good analysis so far. Though my play may be somewhat bad in hand 73(not really as bad as it seems imo), 22 is a muck

Granted, I didn't know I was 100% steal BvB, and I have been fairly aggro (it really didn't seem that crazy to me because I wasn't raising with cock soup most of the time.. I think I picked up AA 3x?)

I figured I still had SOME FE on my re-push (although looking back, not as much as I thought).

What you guys probably don't know is I'm not playing with any poker software. I don't have stats on anyone, including myself. I used to run tracker a few years back, but now I'm just grinding SNG's (Started @ the 5's with $100, now at $700 playing $10's over the past month). I'm looking to build a bit more before I invest in some serious software again.

The comments have been helpful thusfar, although there was something about calling Ax suited for 3xbb in CO terrible on the second level? I only have about 800-900 SnG's of experience online, and am mainly a cash player but decided to broaden my game a little bit. Is calling here a leak?

On a single table, software shouldnt matter. You've been playing aggro. The fact you had cards (sometimes) doesnt matter. You need to be aware of your own table image.

Yes, calling with Axs is almost always bad in an SNG, theres almost never implied odds in a shortstacked structure (which sng's are).

I swear I wasn't THAT aggro, damn you guys are nitty sometimes Laughing

So our calling range only consists of PP's only? AQ+? Seems kinda lame Sad

Continue to enlighten me though, I'm sure I still have tons of leaks.

As a general rule we're only looking to enter the pot as a favorite v's opps range, or with good implied odds if we improve on the flop. PPs < TT we're only playing for set value, and we only get those odds early in the game. SCs we rarely get odds, likewise with AXs. Perhaps times when theres multiple limpers in front of us and we're OTB or in the blinds we can justify limping with hands like that.

Remember, we start with 75BB effective starts and quickly go down from there. What works with 100BB
