Well I would love to show you guys some of the hands I played today.. And I lost all of them at the SB

So, Im holding 88, the guy on the right goes all in, he has 3500 chips and I had 4500. I pay it, he shoes K4s, and he hits straight on the turn.

So left me 400 chips I goes all in and Im back to the tourney.

Now I am with 21.000 chips with AJo on the SB, Blinds are 800/400, Cut Off with 15000 chips mini raises.
The question is... I just pay it here? Reraise?

Well I goes all in, BB pay it and he shows KK
I lost it, but the thing I want to know is, what is the right thing to do here?

In the first case, I would not call, although it all depends on the opponent, his game and how often he raises from position.
In the second case, I have two options: just call or reraise to 4800 and fold to the opponent's allin. The second option I like more. But in no case do not call Allin

With the 88 in the SB, I'm assuming the guy on the BUT shoves all in for 3500 chips. Depending on the amount of big blinds he has, this is normally a correct call. Anything for 20BB or less, this is a standard call to an open shove on the BUT imo.

With AJo, this all depends on the villain opening from the CO. If he's super tight, I might just fold outright or raise to about 4650 and fold to a rejam from any player. I would not, however, just open shove 26 big blinds here unless you're ok with high variance plays. I think we're at a stack depth where we can 3bet fold, but it's really close. If villain is super LAG however, I don't think a shove here is awful.

Hi, I think in this situation you must call first to see flop and then you can decide what to do. AJ not very well hand on SB

I think you yourself can answer a question. Learn adversaries, explore their behavior, and you will know fold or scare the player.
* Great importance is also the fact that this type of tournaments are rebuy function than using fish, limp players, etc.

I would call the the all in with 88.
I would flat call with AJ on the SB and see if i hit the flop.

If you go allin each time you've got a semi good hand, you'll eventually lose. That's why you should try to see the flop.

Now there are circumstances where it's useful to go allin. Like when you're the shortstack, or blinds are really high, etc.. This time you clearly weren't, since you had 26BB.

Try to maximise profit without risking it all. AJ is a hand that's not yet made. you need the community cards most of the time to win the pot, so don't risk it all before you see any of them.

In '88 I would shove him, because if he is opening from the right and his range of hands is very large.
Now with AJo, I would only call, however, there is no way to say which way would be right, since there are many ways to play hands

AJo esta perdendo pra AQ AK AA KK QQ JJ, não é uma boa opção chamar all in, o certo seria pagar o reise e vê flop. ou simplesmente largar

I try not to play coin flips in tournaments until it's absolutely necessary, so that means 77's 88's 99's and 10's I try and play flops more than 3betting, unless there's enough fold equity. That means if my villain 4bet reshoves I can fold.

The AJ shove was probably was the right move, you had 26 bb's left and were a 2-1 dog against KK, so when you add fold equity which I'm assuming you thought he would fold quite a few hands there I see it as the right move. Sometimes you just get unlucky it's poker.

The AJ is a trap hand , with you stack 26BBs you have two options , see a flop if he just min raised it .. or fold it and wait for a better position and cards , because the 26bbs jam with AJ is not correct at first

I believe he made the right move, it sucks that the BB woke up with the cowboys, but if he believes that the cutoff was trying to steal a 3bet is usually the right move. Now the sizing can be debated but a fold or just a flat call are out of the question for me. Depending on the read on the cutoff player if he's a weaker player or there's been a lot of action between the 2 he may get a a cal from A10 or A9, sometimes even KQ or KJ in the micros. Also the structure of the tournament comes into play here to to. Not sure if he mention if it was a regular or a turbo.

He does mention the tournement it's the big .55, that tournement is filled with calling stations and just plain bad players, I've been playing it every day for the past couple of days.

What was the blinds with the 88? if button had 10BB or less, it is a call so you are ok, plus more so from his position or if you had a read.

The AJo I think it was a bad play, that hand is really weak unless you really hit something, You could have re raise if you think he was trying to steal with min raise, but doing an all in I think it was bad.

Did someone else had called before the min raise? or only the BB left to act and how many chips did the BB had?

I will raise AJo or suited if I am trying to steal blinds and know the SB or BB are tight, or if they are really short stack and I have a decent one, to apply pressure, but in general it is not a good hand to play with
