what did you have lol?

first of all, please dont post results

anyways, i actually like this play. You fold out hands that are flipping a lot of the time, you fold out some dominating hands like A8/A9 and you get calls from Kx hands a lot which is good.

You have 9bbs and if the pot is 15% of your stack then a shove is fine. I agree that you get weird calls but you need to take shots with this stack.

I don't know about the standard of play at the $11 stakes but I think A7 is a good shove imo.

i'll try, thankyou

wuld appreciate more input into this

ty sir

and no i only have a roll for $4 180-man combined w tilt and stars so no higher than micro stakes im afraid

its weird how these were the two main hands i struggled on too

my reasoning with the first hand. I did not know what to do in this spot. I also hate shoving small PPs to EP raisers and looking back I think that TT is a auto shove but 99/88 is sketchy. I think 77 and less is a fold imo. The factors that made me go for a shove, was mainly due to my lack of hands and that I thought that the villian would be raising some JTs kinda hands that I can fold out that have equity against me.

my reasoning for the second hand. I knew at the time, that I had no fold equity with my stack. Therefore I was correct to assume that whatever he's iso raising there he will call me with. I believed that being IP and in the CO that he might raise a lot of Ax hands, such as A9s/ATo and sometimes as low as A7s. I also figured a lot of Kx hands and PP's lower jacks raise enough to make this ok. I figured AJo to be ahead of his range here, and although I could fold and use my stack for what is more effective for open-shoving, that I didn't really want to pass up a what seemed like +EV spot at this stage w my stack

I played a $4 180-man mtt, and would like to put it up for review

Is there any leaks in my game, as I'm really trying to rebuild upon my fundamentals.

Any input would be appreciated thankyou

you have are raising an EP raiser, from EP with a very tight image, investing around 20% of your stack. This is hardly ever tens, hardly ever AQ and i think hardly ever JJ. Hell QQ might even flat here.

QQ is crushed by your range here, and 26bbs is not a desperate stack my no means. He has next to no FE so I think "ThatsSoMinusEV" lmao

When the turn comes a Q, "nice hand", move on next hand

When thinking about stack sizes to shove instead of doing straight up 10bbs try another strategy.

I was moved onto something called "true bb's" which is basically 2/3's or the starting pot. Here i think if i worked it out ok, 5.6k is a true bb.

Any stack less than 10 "true" bb's is a push/fold stack, so with 51k yes you should have open-shoved pre.

He did not have implied value to call w suited connectors but oh well, live and learn

[limit does suck donkey balls...]

Was that a double negative?

You are right though, limit does suck donkey balls...

am i sad if i said i laughed out loud to this quote

im not into limit holdem









not



oh wait I'm actually not into limit

Pre - if your plan is to isolate the limper and play HU pot IP with 3.5x is fine. A hand the flops well is always nice when the stacks are deep

Post-flop - Please build the pot. 115 is far too small. I expect you were trying to induce a bluff or something but this early just bet for value. My standard Cbet is half pot so that should be fine here.

Turn - His range consists of made hands and made flushes. Most made hands are calling two if not three streets anyways so Vbet it. Maybe 2/3 pot. Only A/K high flushes are likely to c/r so if they do, you can have a plan for the hand when the blinds r still small and a loss wont effect you much. Checking back lets hands like sets(13outs)/two pairs(4outs) (not being results orientated) get there.

River - fine imo

i love jacks

you can set mine against this player and pot control on Q high/raggedy flops and maybe even Vbet if he's calling down with AK. Kinda get away from K/A high flops but this bad player wud prob giv off sum kinda tell

with these blinds a raise of 4.8k shud be ok

And you should really have a plan before u make this move but u know this so i will stop whining

kinda helps to have a better read on the player. was he good? was he trappy? tight is little vague, and ive seen  players "trapping" with this play holding KTo

omg insta-muck the flop









not

Is it only me that really doesn't like the turn c/r?

did he have a pair and a FD that missed by anychance?
