Daily Hand Review

[skirtus]

Trying to review my hands each day. I look through all the hands were I won and lost money and post the questionable ones. I've been using SnG Power Tools for my questionable steals. These are all from the $10+1 tables.

Hero ??

Villian had mainly been min-raising in this position. I came over the top of him once with AQ and he laid it down. Thought this was a strange amount to raise. Can't imagine he will lay this down if I come over the top. But at this level he could be doing this with so many A-crap hands.

Loose Aggressive big stack raises. Considering my stack size I thought this was a no brainer. But just checking.

HERO is ?

Big stack limps everyhand but has been laying down to raises.

Hand 1. Horrible position. But your stack is healthy and I don't honestly think he is doing this with as many hands as you think, with 10bb behind, and half his stack as a raise? So.. I let it go. Begrudgingly.

Hand 2. Seems ok to me.

Hand 3. I would push.

Hand 4. I'd push.

Hand 5. Close one. I think I'd fold because he might be about ready to call after being pushed off a lot..

#1 muck, you can avoid this hand w/ your stack size

#2 i wish you could muck it but against a TAG w/ your stack you'll have to play it.

#3 push

#4 I push to add 20% to my stack (PVS)

#5 muck

1. bleh, i dont like seeing the results of losing this one. If villain had a premium(AQ-AK,JJ-AA), he'd probably minraise looking for a call. This doesnt look very convincing of a good hand (but then again, hed push with a marginal one; then again, this is a $10). I think there is a good possibility of KJ-JT, with pairs 22-88. But id hate to lose this showdown, depending on my mood would probably sway my desicion to push or fold.

2. i call

3. push it

4. Id raise to 175, but i dont think thats the correct move.

5. push it

Thanks for the feedback. I was on a 3 day heater and felt I was getting too aggressive. I actually won all these hands but looks like my suspicions were right.

1. I pushed. My AJ rivered his JJ. I wanted to fold. My hand acts independently from my brain sometimes.

2. I called. A8 suck out vs AQ.

3. Pushed. Folded back to me.

4. I raised 200. This raise really crippled me and thankfully no overs came on the flop. Called by 44 and he hit his set. I tripped my tens on the river.

5. I pushed and won against big stack KTo. I think a fold is correct given the big stack limp and 3 more to act.

1: gotta fold. This type of donkish raise is usually Ax or a mid pair.

2: call.

3: This is closer than most people realize, mainly because of your position (check ICM as an exercise). I'd push 44, but 33 probably very marginal.

4: I think push > call > raise.

5: Fold.

I had already ran some calcs with SnG Power Tools. I used a slightly different calling range than what is set as a default. But I came up with a .6 against an average calling range at this level and .3 vs a loose calling range at this level. I imagine that this push falls somewhere in between these two numbers. So I agree it is marginal at best.
