A couple of hands for review...
So I'm new to SNG's and have been playing in relative comfort on the free $10 at the Prima $0.75+0.25 Turbo games.
...allow a moment for the chuckles to subside. Anyway, I don't think they have a hand history option, so this is by memory. First hand of the tournament, I'm one seat off the button. Two MP's limp in I limp with Ah Ts SB calls BB checks Flop: Ad Th 8h BB opens 100 2 MP fold I push allin SB folds BB calls with AQ Turn/river: rags I'm obviously happy with this, and I think my push was a good move, but is limping this preflop a -EV move? I've seen various lists of hand requirements early in a SNG, and ATo doesn't tend to be on it. These games tend to be very loose-passive, and I've got good position, so it seems like limping hand with only two callers before me, if there were more, I'd raise and fold to a reraise. What do you think? Second hand: Seven people left, Blinds are in the 40-80 range. Thanks in part to my first hand, I've got about 2,700, next biggest stack is 1,700 and the rest are about 900-1100. I'm in SB Folded around to me. I limp with 7c 3c, figuring I'm against a random hand at the BB (who has 900), I will fold to a raise, and tell myself I'll get out at any sign of trouble. Flop is 5c 2h 4c I check BB checks Turn 4s I check BB goes allin for 900 I figure this isn't a desparation push with 7 people left, and his stack is about even with the bottom 4 others. I'm getting just under 2:1 from the pot with open-ended 4-flush draw. I know the odds aren't there directly, but where does popular opinion stand here. My reasoning is that I've got about as good a draw as I can have to knock it down to 6 and take a huge chip lead into the bubble. At worst, I call and I'm about even with the other top two, and can grind it out from there. I called and missed, BB shows 56 I ended up HU against this guy with about equal stacks and took 2nd place due to a few cold cards in the Turbo blinds. I appreciate any advice. Thanks. |
