Help! $5 sng
I play the 9 player $5 sngs at pokerstars, my general strategy is to try and double up early, tighten up as the blinds raise (while still trying to steal blinds), and raising my agression once i make the top 3. I have recently had trouble doubling up early, and i was wondering how i might alter my game. Im going to post an example of some of my starting hands in a Very Loose tournament. I dont think i ever found myself in a position where i could steal blinds, because i was almost always faced with a raise. Anyway here is a list of some of the hands i have folded, and maybe you can help me out.
87s Postflop
Q2s
K9o BB Postflop
2/10o sb postflop
AJo picked up the blinds postflop
85s
57o
44 folded to preflop raise
10/9o
A6o
Q9o
54o BB folded postflop
2/6o sb folded postflop
Q7s folded postflop
A2o
45o
65o
35o
86o
A8o BB
J9o sb folded postflop
72s folded preflop
69o
28s
2/10o
74o
35o BB
33 sb raised 300 preflop, and pushed out post flop, (my worst hand of the turny)
K2o
K3o
34s
85o
Final hand- i finally decided to push with A8o, after several people limped into my BB and this is what it looked like

Im aware that i wont recieve these cards every turny, but there has to be some way for me to ajust my play to better cope with poor cards against an agressive table. Any feedback would be greatly apreciated
