$2.25 tourney review

Another one if you have time to take a look.

$3.30 Buy In

I felt really passive toward the end of this. Made it to 2nd place but was severely out-stacked. Should I just throw out a bluff or two preflop if I'm not getting any cards between 13 and 14 or just wait it out as I did here?

Hand 14 was a bad idea. Opp was folding the SB to me so figured I might see if I could get away with a raise less than all-in. Answer was "pfft, shove".

Oh and hand 4: I have this strange weakness for limping KQ. Need to not do that UTG.

1. AJo - personally I would just dump it with the limper in front, if you want to raise then make it 200 (3x BB plus 1x BB for the limper). As played the rest is fine, you're never folding to that tiny bet on the river.

2. QQ - with the two limpers in front I raise it up a bit more, make it 225-250 to go. Flop bet is good.

4. KQo - you got it, just dump KQ from UTG. The major problem with it is that hands that beat you like AQ and AK may not always 3-bet an UTG raiser, so you can end up in a situation where it ends up costing you a lot of chips to find out you're beat.

11. KK - I'd raise it up a bit more preflop with all that limptard action in front. 600 seems good. If they'll call 500 they'll call 600.

Q

K

SB (Hero's M = 16.50; f+f+r+F+f) (between 11 and 12) - depending on the size of the raise and the raiser's stack size, could be a shove over

12. 22 - even though you have implied odds to play for set value because UTG is the big stack, I'd fold this. Reason is that the blinds are short stacked and if they shove, you can't call and just fried 160 chips.

T

SB (Hero's M = 11.74; f+r+f+F+f) (between 12 and 13) - could be a shove over depending on the raiser's stack size and the size of the raise

13. 55 - it's fine, but you need a plan if you get shoved over...

14. 84o - you're right, shove or fold and I probably shove this

Q

Button (Hero's M = 4.50; F) (between 14 and 15) - definitely shove this

Thanks very much taipan.

Yeah that's the only trouble with the tournament trimmer is you can't see what was happening on the hands I didn't play.

On this one BTN shoved 1740 at me. I had 3961. BB in front of me had 1890. Fold right?

Ha, yeah on this one my mouse died and I timed out. Not sure what I would have done anyhow though. This was the big stack of 4899 raising 600 to my 3521. BB after me had 1050. I might have just cold called it, but not sure if that's any good or not.
