Default Re: $20 SNG Tough Spot vs unknown with AQ

That's actually a pretty bad advice IMO. Pot control is key for early levels of SNGs for hands such as TP. If a villain is loose, we want to avoid stacking off to some random hand.

We can really take advantage of their looseness during the bubble when they either push too wide or call too wide. In order to do that, you need to survive the early levels. Therefore, I don't build big pots without strong hands such as 2-pair/set.

I dont like the shove over the minraise .. Im not really scared of another heart on the river and any ace has 3 outs, any pair 2 outs .. so as played I call the turnbet and the riverbet if he is that loose and maybe aggressive.

I frequently check the turn here. Is that bad?

I like checking the turn better if the board is rainbow.

Alex - I think you're missing some good opportunities to accumulate chips if you are avoiding confrontations vs loose bad opponents with hands like this.
