Rehauling my play. An early game workshop.
I've been trying to open up my early game lately. After about 2500 SNGs at the 22s, I've got about a 15% ROI. I'm really trying to make the 20% club and feel like I'm losing some potential money in my early and mid game decisions. I'm really unsure of myself in many of these situations, especially with decisions when I have about 10-15xBBs.
Here's a few hands I'd like some input on. Some of these hands might seem like ridiculously easy decisions, but like I said, I've just been unsure of myself a little lately: 1. What's my line preflop? PartyPoker, Big Blind is t100 (7 handed) Converter on pregopoker.com UTG (t590) UTG+1 (t1355) MP1 (t605) Hero (t1522) Button (t785) SB (t1253) BB (t1890) Preflop: Hero is in CO with J[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="gray">UTG folds</font>, UTG+1 calls t100, <font color="gray">MP1 folds</font>, <font color="gray">Hero ...?</font> 2. Does my preflop raise suck? Should I have just went all-in? I planned to call any all-in raise. The first caller in this hand was calling probably about 30% of flops; hands like QJs, KTo, etc. The second caller was calling tons of flops, probably more like 40-45% VI$IP. I put him on capable of calling hands as low as A2o, K9s, 78s etc. PartyPoker, Big Blind is t50 (8 handed) Converter on pregopoker.com UTG (t1553) UTG+1 (t1815) MP1 (t838) MP2 (t540) CO (t1130) Button (t680) Hero (t659) BB (t785) Preflop: Hero is in SB with A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] Q[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] UTG calls t50, <font color="gray">UTG+1 folds</font>, MP1 calls t50, <font color="gray">MP2 folds</font>, <font color="gray">CO folds</font>, <font color="gray">Button folds</font>, <font color="red">Hero raises t225</font> 3. Was this out of position call a bad play? What about flop play? My read on the player: This player pissed away about 200 chips early in the tournament. He called pre-flop raises twice, called flop bets, then ended up folding the turn.
