Can you fold QQ here?

It's early in the SnG, so none of my reads are rock solid, but here are my general impressions...

SB and BB are tight players. BB hasn't played a hand yet I don't think. First limper is...

Re: 3.40 JJ on Q high flop

I fold this early in the SnG.

Re: $2+0.25...ITM, high blinds, turn bluff check-called, but hit top p

Sorry, I don't know a lot of the lingo...what do you mean by float? And from reading Moshman's SnG book, I get the sense he'd say take a stab with a hand that still can become best if you've seen...

Re: $2+0.25...ITM, high blinds, turn bluff check-called, but hit top p

What do you mean you hate turn? You mean my bet? If so, could you offer some concrete advice on what I should have done? Think I should have just checked? Or do you try to pick it up with a...

$2+0.25...ITM, high blinds, turn bluff check-called, but hit top pair

So I'm in the money, and all three of us have relatively close chip stacks. My opponent in this hand has been quite LAG, especially at high blind levels. Only a few hands earlier, I picked off 2/3...

$2+0.25, 13x BB...holding 99 up against loose aggressive raiser

Probably dump the 99 right? This guy was raising pretty frequently, so I figured he could have lots of hands. In fact, I had seen him raise 3x in EP with Q9 just a few hands earlier. So figured 99...

Re: Did Button play this correctly???

Folding here is horrible. Almost as bad as min-raising. You are going to fold because you assume someone HAS to have 98?!?!?! Yes, there could be a flush draw somebody is willing to chase, but...

Re: Did Button play this correctly???

Yes, a decent SnG player might see your min raise as weak, but most people would still not risk a re-raise here with anything less than a lower set. In this situation, you did have a set-over-set,...

Re: Did Button play this correctly???

Nobody would go over the top of your min raise unless they had a flush most likely, maybe the guy with 77 would have pushed. In a SnG, don't get all caught up in trying to be trappy. Make somebody...

Re: $2+0.25...AQ good enough against this person\'s probable range?

Yeah, I usually don't post the results because I don't want to bias people. I only did so here to illustrate what sort of pushing range this person must have. You can't use regular poker logic at...

$2+0.25...AQ good enough against this person\'s probable range?

Bad call here on my part? Normally such action suggests QQ+, but at the $2 SnGs, I find some of these donks would make a re-raise with a wide variety of hands. This person in particular seemed...

Two straight early bustouts...did I take unnecessary risks?

After a bit of a bad stretch, I decided to withdraw funds from my FTP account and just leave $100 and rebuild a BR. So I'm playing $2 SnGs for now. Off to a solid start with 9 cashes in 16 tries. But...

A6s 4-handed, 10x BB, 1st to act, 1/3 the stack of 3rd place...push?

Well, all the relevant info is in the title. I guess I should add that the two biggest stacks seem pretty loose, I can see them calling with any Ax better than mine and any PP. But they could also...

Re: AQ UTG 7-handed and 12x the BB

Any other opinions? The AQ, AJ hands and PP like 77-TT here I always find hard to play in these spots. Feel like I should push, but figure I'm likely only going to be in a race at best if called,...

Re: Big draw on the bubble - play it strong or play it safe?

Ok, I agree somewhat...I did check, hoping for a free card. But I decided right away that if he did bet, I was C/Ring him all-in. If he is stupid enough to call with K high (he actually did call...

Re: Big draw on the bubble - play it strong or play it safe?

Actually, in SnGs, optimal strategy isn't to gun for first. It's to ensure we finish in the money. I did CRAI and I definitely think that was the best way to play it. The only thing that makes me...

Re: Big draw on the bubble - play it strong or play it safe?

Would love to get more thoughts on this hand. Seems like a relatively unique spot. On the bubble, with what might be the best hand if we see all 5 cards, but could be behind on the flop. Drawing...

Big draw on the bubble - play it strong or play it safe?

Small stakes SnG...I'm on the bubble. As you can see, pretty good flop for me, but not a made hand yet. Could have up to 18 outs, but an estimate of 13-15 seems more reasonable to me. How would...
