Hand 1: Open folded A8o UTG+1
Hand 2: Folded A5o UTG

These folds may not be obvious and merited a comment.
Two hole cards ten or under and not connected are obvious folds even for a beginner.
After reading thousands of recaps, only the 'meat' is interesting.

I have played over 1000 SnGs and they are not obvious folds to me as I only browse the STT forum once in a while...

Hand 39: Open folded 92o from UTG+1
Hand 40: Folded 73o UTG.
Hand 41: Got a walk in the BB with J5s.

Hands 36, 38, 39, and 40 are obvious folds.
Hard to believe any thinking player claims those
hands must be played.
Hand 41 is uninteresting.
Hands 1 and 2 could include a comment stating that
a weak ace should not be played in early positions.

I agree they are obvious folds. I wonder why Chip didn't spend any time talking more in depth about the hands? Oh yeah. Because they are OBVIOUS. I really don't see what your complaint is. Including that he folded those hands in there makes the game seem more realistic and completes the article. Are they important? Not really. But they don't take up much room and really aren't in the way of anything. So who cares?
