JJ with overcards on board.

[Eihli]

Sorry to spam the boards but I think I'm gonna be posting a lot of hands today as action against a 30 buy-in downswing. Can I even call that a downswing?

Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t30 (8 handed) converter (http://www.selachian.com/tools/bisonconverter/hhconverter.cgi)

UTG (t2072)
UTG+1 (t1430)
MP1 (t730)
MP2 (t550)
Hero (t620)
Button (t745)
SB (t763)
BB (t1090)

Preflop: Hero is CO with J/images/graemlins/club.gif, J/images/graemlins/diamond.gif.
<font color="#CC3333">UTG raises to t60</font>, <font color="#666666">3 folds</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to t150</font>, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, SB calls t135, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, UTG calls t90.

Flop: (t480) K/images/graemlins/club.gif, A/images/graemlins/heart.gif, 6/images/graemlins/diamond.gif <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font>
SB checks, UTG checks, I push, SB calls t470, UTG folds.

Is this post missing important action?

Such as?

BTW, I check/fold this flop, especially since I failed to get it HU.

OP edited to show Hero push (wasn't in original post).

Thx.

[Vee Quiva]

I agree. At least check it through and see what happens on the turn. A push here seems like a lot of unnecessary risk.

with pushes like this i can understand why you are in a downswing. preflop with as bad as you are running, i either fold this or push it. one thing to note is that in the early stages of a sng, you need to be willing to give up jj, qq, and yes even kk, when an over card hits.

8 players left and UTG raises? Push or fold PF with your small stack.

Good advice -- Overcards to a high pair {censored] kill me in these things all the time, esp in the first orbit.

30 buy-in downswing. does that mean dropping $330 or having a loss after 30 games? I've had a 24 buy-in drop over about 400 games. /images/graemlins/frown.gif I hope that's not pushing the limits of simply 'variance'.

[Maulik]

Usually I lower limits I'll limp with JJ unless I'm willing to do continuation bets with overcards or drop it if its raised to me.
