pls use the converter on pregopoker.com

It is much easier for us to read the HH. I would like to comment these hands, but i don`t wanna read them 10 min to find everything out.

After that i would really like to help you (as far as i am able to do so).

Would love a converter that works on Bodog. I can't find such a thing at pregopoker?

[Hercules]

hmm...sorry, i don`t play at bodog...maybe some other members now. Did you check flopturnriver.com and internettexasholdem.com ?
Or just google for a converter...

Its just hard to read and i bet you get more and better responses if the post is "viewable"

Do us all a favor, and if you can't find a converter that works for your site, convert it manually. It's not that difficult. Other players have done it. Just looking at your hand history gives me headaches.

[pinarphan]

took me 20 mins to get it to that point...

I understand though, get it better!

I think I worked it out. Assuming this is a top 3 places paid SNG and not top 2, I think your pre-flop play is the problem. Top stack has min raised and shortstack has called from SB. I think that your hand is not in good shape at this point, so I would be inclined to fold. If you do decide to bet, you want to be up against 1 opponent, not two, so you must shove here. There's 1500 chips (80%+ of your stack) in the pot here, so you have to make an aggressive play for it or get out. Your raise of an additional 300 chips, is an opportunity for the top stack to push you all-in and both opponents have to call given the odds, ie 300 more for a 2100+ pot.

Quick response, but I think everyone will agree this is shove or fold time for you pre-flop. And if you shove, you will get called ...
