Preflop is not super-standard but I think it's fine. Interested in if you like my line postflop.

Preflop is spewy, but post flop looks good.

Re: 6.5 - Getting real sexy with A5s
 

just fold preflop please, after that is ok i suppose

I guess coming from a billion and one 6max cash hands, i have no problem raising lots of hands button or CO early in tournaments. It's hardwired in. But yeah, i thought i was probly behind but i could maybe scare him, get him to fold (SEXYTIME) and if he calls i have a bazillion outs (spades, 2 or 7, potentially 3 aces also). I might post this under cash to see how they like it.

Re: 6.5 - Getting real sexy with A5s
 

Fold preflop-- this is a hand that you certainly don't want to raise, I'll spare you the details-- cliff notes: it would be debatable in cash, in an STT it is pretty spewy. Also, stop using "sexy"-- you blew through your quota in the thread title.

I open fold A5s. you will most of the time either flop total trash like TPNK, Bottom Pair Top Kicker or a draw to an idiot end. If you get called or raised pf you are behind like 90% of the time and this makes raising just a waste of chips. Early in a SNG you just want to avoid marginal situations.

On the flop that semibluff-c-bet is fine, getting it in on the turn is alright having 15 to 18 outs.

I'm not totally against raising in this position with A5s. The only problem is the big stack is to your immediate left and behind him is a SB who could be on the cusp of shoving if there is enough money in the pot. As played it seems fine when it works out, only problem is the 3h isn't much of a scare card and allot of people with TP are going to end up calling. Possible alternate is c/r allin on flop I suppose.

Best thing that can happen is you pick up 60 chips, which dont really add much value to our stack at this point in the tourney ... this is why we fold

This is not a marginal situation. This is a bad situation. It's not even close to marginal.
