    Default An $11 turbo for review.

    I think there lots of silly mistakes.

    Hands 5, 10 and 15 leap to mind...

    Be interested in hearing thoughts.

    Hand 3: Bad spot to limp.

    Hand 5: No, I dont mind this call. Odds are close if not raised behind and you have 2 players in front already.

    Hand 8: I dont like from UTG 6 handed. SngPT agrees.

    Hand 10: Again dont like this from this position and SngPT agrees.

    Hand 15: Bad call! Gap concept, you need better hands to call with than to raise with. JKo is not a calling for most of your chips hand 2/3 of your chips hand.

    Hand 17: You have no reason to be in that hand. Waste of 600 chips.

    Hand 19: You could raise this, no need to let him limp in here, but its not bad as played.

    Hand 21: Like that, nice!

    Hand 25: I'm likely to let this one go PF after the raise, but bare it in mind for a trap later.

    Hand 28: If you're prepared to call a push over with this hand, just put him AI to begin with. This isnt a good enough hand to trap with, so make the decision to play as hard as possible.

    Hand 31: Interesting, he's trying to trap after you raised him off his limps earlier.

    Hand 32: Wtf. He called a push for all his chips with a gutshot? Rough luck that he hit an out.
    Just dipping my toes back in.

    Hand 1: Don’t like AJo this early… hard to believe but I think this is an easy fold

    Hand 3: JTs I don’t like the limp, you got too many people behind you and you’re the first one to limp in.

    Hand 4: again, way too early to be playing AJo UTG

    Hand 5: 44 - pretty marginal call after a min-raise. You could get paid off, or you could see significant action behind you….

    Hand 8: KQo Less than 8BB pushing KQo is probably correct 6-handed UTG, but if you had more chips I’d fold. EDIT: interesting, figured with his stack this might actually be profitable. KQo is seriously my biggest headache hand, never know what to do with it... seems like I should just avoid it outside the SB or Button.

    Hand 15: don’t like this call- absolutely no need to make it, but I’m sure you know it was bad (don’t be results oriented). Not too worry, I did practically the same thing tonight… live and learn.

    EDIT: Hand 17: yep, missed this one... terrible limp, waste of 600.

    Hand 28: wow, as passive as he seems to have been I can’t believe he pushed with that. You’re owning him so far… to bad he got lucky.

    Hand 32: jez, what the hell is he calling you’re all-in on the flop, a gut shot.

    Sorry he beat you, you clearly out-played him heads up. Nice tourney, although I think you’re a little loose early preflop, but nice aggression late.

    I'm unsure about it. But not the worst idea in the world I guess.

    I dunno. It's not a great hand and it requires care post-flop. The degree to which it's better than air is perhaps then, marginal.
    But then air is good

    This was read based. Given this guy's pushing range (approx 50%?) it's a call according to SNGWiz.
    I'd seen this guy push a looooot in this sort of position. When he was looked up he'd previously shown Q6o and 56o.
    Of course he had it this time.

    So I'm still not sure. Do I wait for a better spot to look him up?

    My thinking here was quite simply that with two of us in the hand we're more likely to bust out StoneTMS.
    I checked these hands down because I wanted it HU.

    Now, I know that one can use fear of crashing out in 3rd to put pressure o number 2, but I find that hard to do. I wanted to get HU because I don't think this guy is calling AI until we are and with my lead I don't want 2 more of his BBs I want his stack if I get a hand.

    That was my reasoning anyway.

    Just mixing it up a bit really. Trying to get him bold enough to make a mistake and get this over with.

    This is what I was trying to get him to do. So no complaints

    I'm prepared to go AI with this, but I want him to call something. I think he thinks he's got FE because I'm not commiting enough. Which is of course rubbish.

    Thanks. I think it was unlucky and I did get it in ahead and am okay with it (easier to be okay when you still get paid ).
    I may have taken liberties HU, but then I like messing around when I have the big stack, so long as it doesn't hurt my chances too much; and I don't think it every really did.

    As for early looseness, I agree... but I'm not exactly sure how much of that I want to remove... but I'm definitely taking your comments onboard.

    Thanks guys for taking the time...
