HAND 1:
Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t30 (9 handed) converter (http://www.selachian.com/tools/bisonconverter/hhconverter.cgi)
saw flop|<font color="C00000">saw showdown</font>
Button (t255)
SB (t1310)
Hero (t880)
UTG (t620)
UTG+1 (t1110)
MP1 (t500)
MP2 (t870)
MP3 (t1670)
CO (t785)
Preflop: Hero is BB with 9/images/graemlins/spade.gif, 9/images/graemlins/club.gif.
<font color="666666">1 fold</font>, UTG+1 calls t30, <font color="CC3333">MP1 raises to t90</font>, <font color="666666">2 folds</font>, CO calls t90, <font color="666666">3 folds</font>, UTG+1 calls t60.
I mostly follow the AleoMagus .DOC file when it comes to SNG play (and it's very solid, otherwise someone like myself with basically no SNG experience wouldn't start making money playing them right away), but I'm noticing that unless I double up early with a huge pocket pair, I almost always get shortstacked and have to start stealing blinds with crap somewhere around level 5 or so. I'm thinking I could stand to up my aggression a little bit early, so I don't get into that situation as often. With this in mind, had there been only one raiser here, I think I would have pushed. Would you? With a raiser and a cold-caller, I chickened out. Good fold, right? I later realized CO was way too loose, but didn't know it yet.

BB (t410)
UTG (t250)

Preflop: Hero is CO with 9/images/graemlins/spade.gif, 9/images/graemlins/heart.gif.
UTG calls t50, <font color="666666">1 fold</font>, MP1 calls t50, <font color="666666">1 fold</font>, MP3 calls t50, Hero calls t50, <font color="666666">2 folds</font>, BB checks,
With this many callers, there's little hope my all-in will win me the pot pre-flop, right? But I was approaching odds wherein I can shoot for a set. Good call despite there being three people left to act? It didn't violate the 10% rule.
