Re:tough spot on ft bubble
If you don't think the player is that good, or good enough to make a play light in this situation you are up against AA, KK or AK. You'll have a big enough stack to keep putting pressure on smaller stacks if you fold. It is definitely a tough decision and unfortunate timing. On the other hand if you get it in and double up, your chances of winning the tournament increase greatly.

Re:Would a Thinking Player Fold....
Thanks for all your advice so far. As to raise sizes I usually would not raise ~3BB UTG, but I wanted value out of a strong hand. No doubt $4 SNGs are brutal and my mistake was assessing the probability he would fold, I had less FE than I thought. His min raise just sooo weak on a dry board so I put him on a whole range of cards, figuring he would fold most of the time without a strong holding. However, in light of this, the competition was so weak I don't think I need to make those moves in the future since I'm better than those 13 that were left.

Re:JJ on Low Stakes Tournament (BIG problem)
I've ran into this situation before many times. This early, with so many fish, its hard to put opponents on ranges. JJ is a real tough hand OOP to play early on so I advise limping into the pot. Therefore, you probably won't get re-raised out of a pot with a strong hand. If your board texture looks good or if you spike a set, expect to get paid out. At the same time, if the board sucks you at most lose a cbet, which won't be a significant amount of your stack early. My thoughts...(plus I fold if faced with this situation)

Would a Thinking Player Fold....
Alright this is a $4 180-man SNG on Stars (yea big money!) We are 6 handed and there are 13 people remaining. I have a strong table image. I raise UTG and have a MP flat-caller who I know is not a great player. Because of this I now realize I put myself in a bad spot, but against a better player would this have worked' Plus, he snap called my all-in which I though should at least warrant some thought...

Re:Correct push with 99?
With his M at 12 he should try to take the pot down instead of set-mining at this point in the tournament. If he held 22-77 I understand...but not 99. Also you are correct he had the odds to set-mine, but his optimal strategy is not to set-mine.

Re:Correct push with 99?
Let's look at the math. The EV of your hand is about .35, so about a third of the time you will win here. However, with several limpers you should take the lead and your EV of the bet probably increases to about .6. With the several limps I would have raised to about pot since your M is decent M= (8315)/(150+300+225) = 12ish. You take the lead from the blind and probably don't get called, unless UTG limper has a big hand. Then, you CB the flop to see where you're at and probably take down the pot. Worst scenario you raise to 1300, lead out for 2800 and lose 4100 cause UTG re-pops ...

Re:Constructive criticism.....Near Money Bubble in $1 Rebuy
That's just a tough flop. With the money bubble approaching you need to get aggressive. Making the money doesn't mean much in tournaments; final tables and the top three spots are what its all about. Bad timing, but with him leading from the blinds I wouldn't think he was strong either. You made the right play.

Re:TT facing 4 bet???
I don't like risking 50% of my stack with speculative cards in this spot. TT is a decent hand, but here is it most likely behind or barely ahead. -EV play if you flat call or shove, however if you flat call the re-raise you will most likely be in a tough spot on the flop. So...I'd fold, wait for a better spot and not lose a big pot with TT.

Re:couple 9 man sng hands
Hand 1: Most likely in a coin flip so even EV at best, why risk it when you can keep stealing blinds' Hand 2: Why would you shove with your stack size relative to the blinds' Make your standard raise, you probably have best hand with A9 three-handed. If short stack shoves, call. If big stack shoves... get out and don't worry about losing 500-600 chips.

Was this a good play given my read? Or should I have just gotten away?
Seat 3 has been very loose and aggressive. I've seen him call many raises pre-flop and re-raise post-flop frequently. It is early on in the tournament with blinds at 25/50 and I have around 70 BB. My image is tight, I haven't played many pots and have showed down solid holdings.

Re:3$ KO full tilt did i make donk play by not pushing on turn?
Pre-flop line is good UTG with QQ. You get a flat-call from middle position, signaling a hand from solid players, but knowing this guy is a donk his range is quite wide. Betting into him was also a solid line, since he feels you CB with air or ace high he calls. Now you figure he has an ace or lower pocket pair from his line. When the 5 hit the turn you should feel very confident you have the best hand and should be betting for value. Unless he has the HIGHLY unlikely AA or KK, you are golden. The pot is now around 3K on the turn. If you raise to 2K you are only 1K behind, so you might as ...

Re(1): Did I not reraise enough preflop?
He called because he had great PO to call with anything. He already put half that bet into the pot of course he will call. You think he is just going to fold to just about a min raise with position' The fact is you wanted him in that pot and you got sucked out on big time and are unlucky. If I'm playing I want him in that pot with his shitty hand and for him to bluff at that pot and feed me money. Terrible flop, turn, river so I'd cbet and see how he plays post-flop. If he plays back at you its check/fold the rest of the way, he most likely won't try to make a play on you given his stack size ...

Re(1): 3 key hands from FT..help?
Hand 1: Fold. He probably just got lucky with A9 and hit. With someone betting into your raise they usually have something (suited connectors could have run right through that flop). Lay down and wait for hand 2. Hand 2: Call, you have the PO to call. The guy is getting desperate and you are most likely going into a coin flip or even get lucky if he has A2, A3. Hand 3: By far the most complex hand. Probe him. Continue with a cbet of about 35-45% of the pot just to see where you are at. He folds without an ace since he thinks you just nailed your AK and now you are sucking him into a pot ...

Re(2): How would you play this?
Interestingly enough, my flat call actually gave me more insight into the hand. Maybe I should have raised, but I think it is a matter of preference. Since I know what he had if I raise there he most likely is going to re-raise and I may smooth call or even fold. With this ridiculous raise I put him on low-mid pp and I really didn't think he wanted to be called. If I pushed he would have about 2:1 on his money and would most likely call since he had me covered. That brings up another question: if you absolutely know you are going into a coin flip in the middle of a tourny where you could ...

Re(2): is this always a call....
When taking PO into consideration he made a bad call. With a 9 3 he is at best hoping to be a 3:2 dog and the PO definitely do not justify that. I'm estimating but I think he is getting a little over 2:1 on his call, not good enough.

Re(1): How to Play ACES????
M < 6 shove is your only play...a small raise will likely sound off bells and whistles for your SB+BB. Pushing also looks weaker and may get a call, unlucky to not have any action before you.

Re(1): very tough spot with AJ after betting 1/5 of chips
I think you are going into the flop the underdog if you call the re-raise. I don't think he trying to get you off your hand being out of position with his stack as big as yours which isn't huge. With a hand worse than yours I am pretty sure he folds w/o position. AA KK QQ AK AQ is what you are up against most likely...I would fold.

Re(1): Should you even play 22 in a race?
Yes you should play 22 in a race if you know its a race...you are a favorite! It is a small favorite but PO justify it. M <6 you have to start pushing, you need to double up and any pocket pair is good when you're in this situation. I could easily see you busting out of the tournament in a few hands with A7 against A10 or some shit, you need a make a move fast I don't mind the play at all. 50/50 odds are some of the best odds your going to get when you are that short stacked...gamble baby!

Re(1): did i reraise too much?
Raising 3x his raise is what's appropriate if you are going to raise. I'm surprised he didn't call with decent odds and QQ. I think you played it fine if your intent was to re-pop, he made a solid laydown you took 3.3K...its better than nothing.

Re(1): Hand ? For SnG Players
How are your opponents playing' Are they below-average, avg or above' Do you think they can be agressive enough to stay in the running to make the money' Will they steal blinds' All these things must factor into the decision. If they are poor players you call with 99, if they are playing hardcore and are a bunch of pros you repop and take your chances with 99 since I'm almost certain you are in a coin flip. However, the blinds are still moderate so that has to factor in as well. Agreesive players like to trap with really big hands so I'm thinking he holds face cards and the chances of him ...
