Early on in these low-stakes PP/EP SNGs, you should be dumping a lot of hands, including smaller suited connectors.

Did you seriously do that push? That's terrible for so many reasons. Any overcard (other than a 6) hurts you. Any overpair beats you. It's ridiculously early on in the tournament and you have two people already throwing in more than half their stack. FOLD!

I seriously did it, not a standard play for me, but it just felt so right at the moment.

Man, I love players like you who make bad plays because it "feels right." BTW, these were your first mistakes:

I don't think the push on the flop is that bad. I mean if I'm playing 43 preflop Im not letting go of this flop. However, preflop is absolutely horrible.

Yeah the preflop play was weak, ad I said, not standard, and I don't usually make plays just cause they "feel right". I was kind of looking(not hoping) for a call from a hand TT-AA but:

illmartin is all-In [740]
rasercykel: dadam
rasercykel folds.
zippertintin folds.
BagsOFun folds.
SWJ1962: yep time to see whos who
kym89gmc folds.
rasercykel: [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]
lillmartin does not show cards.
lillmartin wins 1715 chips

I must add a LC on the thread if it's possible =)
