Re:Q2 suited (What would u do?)
The only thing to consider is if the BB has been a nit, shove is fine. If the BB has been fairly active, maybe fold and wait for a better spot / hand.

Re:Q2 suited (What would u do?)
Either ship, or raise to around $1000, make your hand look stronger than it is.

Re:Bad shove early
Yes it's a bad shove this early in the tournament. As far as the ICM calc goes, can't really help you there. But I don't think it is much use to you at this point in the tournament.

Re:MTT ....3 way pot ...tough spot imo
Fold pre-flop. ohyeahduffman should have shoved, and you probably aren't ahead of goodies pushing range. For you call this you need 77+ or AJ+. Even if it is a suited ace. It is still a pretty weak suited ace.

Re:cash game hand help?
I don't see any mistakes that you made. Pretty standard. You have an over pair, he got lucky and hit the flop better than you expected. Chalk it up to some people in the low limits will play any 2 cards, and they may or may not ever fold on their blinds. Since they have already put money in. One thing you could do, is if you run into one of those people, is raise more on their blinds. Most of the time you wont get sucked out on, and you will win more money.

Re:Help. Please, actually help.
A8 suited in the cutoff is fine to raise. Especially if it is folded around to you, even 8 or 9 handed. But A8 is not a "strong" ace, it's more on the weak side. As far as betting goes, if you hit top pair, lead out for about 50-75% of the pot, same on the turn. If you get re-raised, evaluate your hand, and think about what the other person could have called your raise with. And what could the person re-raise your hand with' If you feel like your hand is best, you can always re-raise them back. Also, look at the board. Representing a str8 with 4 cards to the str8 on the board, ...

Re:How to win one bet with quads, or: Why quads is a gift and a curse.
You rarely get paid with huge hands. Unless you get someone betting into you, or trying to bluff you off the hand, they rarely pay off. GL next time.

Re:Was this played correctly?
This is just an all around bad hand for you. It's extremely draw heavy, especially with 2 other players in the hand. You have the best hand right now, but the other 2 players have decent draws with 2 cards to go. First option is to shove pre. But in the stakes, you are probably getting both those callers anyway (AQo and A9d). Having seen the flop though, with a very draw heavy board. Like someone said before. Shove the flop, and pray they fold or the board pairs up.

Re:correct me pls
I think here either you shove, or just call to see a flop. Especially from the SB. AJ is a crappy hand. You are behind to any pair, and you are crushed to AK and AQ. 400 + 800 + 525(B&A) = 1725 1725 + 2000(raise) = $3725. $1600 for you to complete is 2.3 : 1 on your money. And I think you have the stack to call to see a flop and go from there.

Re:first hand of micro sng
I don't think you played it wrong. Re-pop to $400 is fine too, and make the IR shove or fold. As it turns out, you got max value for your hand.

Re(1): AQ facing early shove???
for sure a fold or push to isolate. Calling is wrong.

Re(3): Mid way through $10 KO
That's another possibility, but I don't see someone with 2 PF raises in 60 hands raising with KT PF' KT isn't that great of a hand. JJ is more likely, same with an over pair.

Re(1): Mid way through $10 KO
I personally hate AQ. So many things can go wrong with it. Can hit top pair, but loose to someone with AK. On the flop, why not make a bet, maybe 1/2 the pot' if you get raised, you have a good idea he is holding KK or even AA, since the Q isn't going to scare him. If he calls, maybe he has AK, AJ, QJ. You have top pair, and top kicker, the pot seems pretty large at that point. With the check on the flop, with the pre-flop raise, you have an idea what he is holding. With a bet on the flop, you can get a better idea. Or even better, maybe he folds, and you take the pot down. But with all-in ...

Re(1): AA on scary flops
First hand: Don't think you could have done anything different. It's just one of those things. Hard to get away from pockets. If he doesn't flop a set, he is most likely getting rid of his hand. Second Hand: Same thing. You have him until the turn. He does a lot of outs though. Especially with the 2-to-a-flush on the flop. The only thing I can think of that you may be able to do, is raise more pre-flop. It's not a for sure that they will fold their hands (both hands you are up against, I would consider seeing a flop with). AA are not invincible. Just they are hard to get away from. But ...
