Looks fine, I don't see any other option here since we're too deep to stop n go.

very happy about getting it in

I'm not so sure that pushing is the right move here. What are the blinds at this point? I noticed your 2nd in chips. Do you really want to but heads with the chip leader?
I would really need more info to say pushing is the right move, but I honestly dont feel putting all your chips in with AQsuited is the best move.

Blinds are 75/150.

Well no, but a) the chip leader open raised from the button which is a very common steal move and b) I am the one player on the table who can hurt him, if he calls me and loses he loses more than half his stack. He would be raising pretty wide here but calling my shove pretty tight.

You can't generalise like this. Opp's stats were 53/15 which means he is very loose. There were three reasons I shoved - 1) he would be raising a wide range here 2) he will fold most of the hands he is raising to my shove and 3) even if he calls me there is a good chance I am ahead of whatever he is raising.

stats 56/15/3.0

Does that mean out of 56 hands, player has seen the flop 15 times, for a 27% sawFlop. What is 3.0, preFlop raise %?

Thanks,

It means that opp voluntarily put chips in the pot preflop (ie. raised or called) 56% of hands (ie. he's pretty loose) and raised preflop 15% of hands. 3.0 is his postflop aggression factor which is on the more aggressive side of average.

taipan,

First of all, Happy New Year! And as always, I truly appreciate your insight. Thanks for the explanation. How do my stats appear to you? I use Poker Office and pulled the following statistics from a modest sample of my last 160 ($10+1) SnG's.

1) ROI = 30.9%
2) ITM = 46.25%
3) 1st = 28, 2nd = 24, 3rd = 22
4) Voluntary put chips in pot = 24%
5) Pre Flop Raised = 13.1%
6) Aggressive Factor Post Flop = 4.0

I know the data sample is only 160 games, but are you able to generalize/commentate on my stats, particularly #4,5, and 6. Again, I have only played just over 1,000 SnG's and still in the process of discovering the meaning/make use of statistics/etc...

Thanks again.

Happy new year to you too!

Firstly, even though the sample size is much too small to give you an accurate picture of your long term ROI, your results are very good although they could be the result of variance.

On the VPIP/PFR/AF stats, it is hard to generalise to see whether these stats are appropriate. SNG play changes so much as the blinds go up and the table becomes shorthanded. For example, my own stats at the 10/20 blind level are 14.1/5.5 but at the 100/200 level are 25.7/21.7. Overall stats across over 1500 tourneys (91,700 hands) at all blind levels are 19.9/14.6/5.9.

Hope that helps!
