Looks pretty standard to me,the beats are harsh but they are just beats. Whats more worrying is the fact in all 8 games your lowest chip stack!
ATC shoves have much more power against someone who can actually go broke. Although in these instances maybe only 1 hand wouldve been a fold from villain.

I think one of the major things wih STT's are that so many people are playing the same game, with all these training sites preaching that there is a certain way to play it seems thats 80% of players are al trying to copy that and therein lies the problem.

yeah, pretty standard graham, in fact that looks pretty much like my session from yesterday, it's annoying but it happens. I play 7 of the 8 hands the same way, the only one I might vary on is hand 2, the K6 one.

sometimes I might just complete here depending on how the table's playing and who is in the BB as we're not 100% desperate yet. this is probs the wrong play though

Attack these players first three levels then, play some post flop poker.

Yep i would not shove K6 that often here with 11 BB's.  Plus I find that shoving from the small blind after all have folded gets the least amount of respect.

There are similarities, but I've never found two opponents who play the exact same game.

[Graham C]

Thanks, good to know it's just coolers I guess but will take on board calling from the SB if the BB doesn't have form of reraising.

I do wonder sometimes about all the training sites, can't be a good thing long term for poker players.  Wonder if that's why the likes of Townsend, Taylor etc decided to source income elsewhere.

[thetank]

A lot of players who use training sites are still tez.

A little knowledge is a dangerous thing.

Hand #2 looks like a pretty marginal shove.



I prolly fold it.

[gatso]

fairly common situation, is the call correct here?

Seat 6 is the button
Total number of players : 4
Seat 9: MrPhoenix555 ( 2,240 )
Seat 6: jan121179 ( 10,180 )
Seat 10: hero ( 3,000 )
Seat 5: ziggy888 ( 4,580 )
Trny: 43605994 Level: 6
Blinds(300/600)
** Dealing down cards **
Dealt to hero [  ]
ziggy888 is all-In  [4,580]
jan121179 folds
MrPhoenix555 is all-In  [1,940]

[thetank]

Definately, not close.

Folding would be huge error

[gatso]

cheers, that's what I assumed. I'm never passing here but it strikes me as the sort of position where a lot of people would but I guess they're giving up a lot of value when they do

[gatso]

if I could pick your brains once again tank, I've altered the hh from the example above to a situation where I'm passing 100% of the time.

at approx what stack size would you switch from calling as in hand 1 to passing as in hand 2?

Not following.

Are our last 30 chips not posted as part of the big blind?
