$6.50 Turbo - A few hands...

[KreellKeiser]

Here's a few hands I wasn't sure on today. Let me know if you would do something different.


Hand 1: OK to push this or was it a bit too aggressive?

Hero (t1365)
UTG (t1845)
MP (t4835)
CO (t1965)
Button (t1400)
SB (t2090)

Preflop: Hero is BB with K[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img].
UTG calls t100, MP calls t100, <font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, SB completes, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to t1465</font>


Hand 2: Another push. I pushed this one pretty quick, but as soon as I did I thought maybe I made a mistake.

1. Good.
2. I'd fold this one, you're either flipping or dominated.
3. I'd fold this too, only because UTG limped.

At a $6.5, hes not flipping or dominated in the 2nd hand. He's flipping, dominated, or dominating. People don't understand position here, so he can realistically have JTo here. POOSH.

Id push TT as well absent prior info that tells me im flipping or dominated.

SO for hand two we have one fold, one push, and one push if there are no reads on UTG... anyone else have any ideas? To be perfectly honest, I'm leaning towards fold, but I can't really explain why.

Grunch by SNG newbie.

Hand 1: I'd just go with a 3xBB raise here.

Hand 2: Fold, it's too likely there's either two overcards or a bigger pocketpair.

Hand 3: I would raise for 600.

All im saying is if this guy had only raised once the entire SNG with AK or QQ+ or something, id be alot closer to Folding.

If hes been raising frequently, I push.
