Q9 isn't great, but its not horrible and there are some pot odds to consider in this one. Still, 50 chips gone

Chips lost 25 Total 85

Overall 85 chips, over 10% of my starting stack. Considering I didn't MAKE a lot of chips through the tournament, they would have helped. Please flame away.

Hand 1 is fine.
Hand 2 I fold.
Hand 3 I raise.
Hand 4 I raise, but folding isn't terrible. Sorry, I misread this, thought you were in SB. I fold this from the button.
Hand 5 I usually don't complete this, I want something better than a 2-gap non-suited Q-high hand..

[Wevie]

So, as I go back and look here, it appears I am coming to the right conclusions. Its just a matter of making these decisions during the game and not after.

Funny, I have a tourney going while I type the OP and see myself making stupid plays bleeding everywhere. I think there is a detour between my brain and my mouse finger.

I was wrong about the A2 hand sorry, thought you were SB, I fold from button

[Maulik]

#1 set or nothing

#2 leak, don't play unless you're in sb or bb

#3 you can raise with position to get HU & make a continuation bet or call

#4 muck

#5 muck

me and my friend are overwhelmed... i usually only play 3 or 4 hands a day, so this is over-doing it.

Hand#1 is ok

anyone care to tackle hand # 2?

[Hendricks433]

dont limp in ep with Ace rag. I dont care if its soooted. Its a very unprofitable play and will bleed many chips. Especially when someone min raises and you have to call. People love to minraise pf at these low buyins(I dont know about higher buyins). Just fold.
