$11 - AJo UTG with 8xbb - To donk or not to donk...

Me: I'd shove this even if SNGPT says it's slightly negative EV. Reason: This is the last hand that I have any FE. Conclusion: Leak?

Yep, because you can go through the blinds and still have FE.

My stats at the time were 12/0 if that changes anything.

I play pretty tight pre-bubble and this is no exaggeration, the best hand I had before this AJo the entire time was 910c and someone open raised 4x bb before me so I dumped it. I limped with a couple other smaller connectors earlier in the game but that's it. So I don't think 12% vpip and 0% pfr is unrealistic in this situation. Maybe I'm wrong and should have loosened up but that seems to go against the SNG theory predominant on these forums.

And for resolution, UTG+1 pushed all in behind to isolate me with AA. I hit the flush and he bitched at me for awhile for being a donk.

He's saying that it's an $11, they have no clue or even care that you haven't played any hands.

hes not saying your stats arent accurate, hes saying the players at the $5+$1s are such huge donkeys that they dont take table image into account during the course of a sng.

edit: $10 +$1 w/e and devin typed faster than me cause i broke my finger
