taipan168 is an unknown quantity at this point

I'll have a go at the first one (3809):

Overall I think you played very solidly. My comments below are really just matters of style rather than any big mistakes:

4. J8o - I would probably just fold it preflop with your stack. 50 chips is almost 5% of your stack, your hand is crap and if the BB raises you have to throw it away.

K

BB (Folded to Hero.) (between 8 and 9) - this is terrible play. Why didn't you make them raise?

11. T4o - this is mostly fine but a read that the blinds are at least semi-tight would be good.

14. K7o - I bet the river for value after opp hasn't shown any strength on any street. 250 seems good.

Second one (3810):

A bit more to comment on in this one - I think some of your shoves were pretty thin and the last one was definitely -EV. Have a play with SNG Wiz and you'll see what I mean. Also, I think you might have missed one or two spots to shove back from the BB into the SB's complete.

4. KQo - good fold, too many players call the re-raise and get stacked by AQ or AK when the flop comes Q/K high.

K

SB (M = 17.47; f+f+f+F) (between 5 and 6) - I would probably raise this depending on BB's stack size and reads

6. J9o - I don't raise from the button into the big stacked BB. If the big stack knows what he is doing he can shove over knowing you can't call without a monster, if he doesn't he may still call putting you in a difficult position on the flop.

7

SB (M = 13.80; f+f+F) (between 7 and 8) - I probably raise this one too...

...7

SB (M = 12.80; f+f+F) - and this one

Hands 10/13: I sometimes shove back into the SB's complete here. Considering stack sizes I prefer to shove back hand 10 rather than 13.

15. K6o - good.

16. J9o - I think you can wait a little longer before shoving this. Even if they both call pretty tight it is only marginally +EV, and the big stacked BB may call you wide.

17. T4o - I don't bet the flop with bottom pair, the flush draw on board and two players seeing the flop.

20. KTs - I don't think this is a good shove, they would have to be calling unbelievably tight to make this +EV.

23. A9o - this definitely isn't a good shove.
