Tos did a HH audit for me (ty sir :)). Just thought I'd post the relevant hands here for anyone who's interested. I'll also add my comments just to explain my p.o.v.

Tosbourn's notes are in italics, mine in bold.

-----I like the turn check. Too many hands in his range have us beat.

Easiest flop call ever. Shitty result.-----think you mean river?

Anyways, turn check was not only because we may be beat, but because we want to induce a bluff from a queen/busted draw as well as keep the pot small. Marginal TP isn't something I go nuts with unless I've got a good read.

-----I bet this turn for 60. Any Q would have bet that flop five handed.
I realize that we are not very strong here, but, there is a ton of dead money
and everyone is afraid of the Queen.

I definately don't disagree with checking it down, I'm just not crazy about
giving up on the hand in this spot. We've only shown down TAG hands thus
far and haven't stepped out of line betting.

If I am villain without the Queen I muck even two pair five handed.

Also if we bet and get called. It might be possible to use this
for some metagame play if we can get to showdown without any more
betting. Metagame pays off even in SNG's, although we rarely get the oppurtunity
to get to showdown.-----


Good points tos. I was just happy with checking it down since most pots had been bet so far, and I suspected that I was either up against a slowplay, or absolutely nothing (in which case there's no point in betting). Our hand is very vulnerable though, and I don't fault a bet at all.

-----I like the turn check on the flush board to find out where are.
The overbet shove looks like a bluff. Fairly easy call with outs
to full house/nut flush.

Well played.-----

ty sir. The guy was hyper aggressive and I was nearly sure I was ahead. I'm more afraid if he checks behind on the turn, but as played, yeah it's a snapcall. I think this was more of a bluff-inducing check than anything though.

lol AJ :/

-----Raise preflop to 120, the limp induces a limpfest. As played
you got villains answer on the flop bet. We are behind. Agree fold.-----
These are hands I hate playing OOP. A raise pf is fine too, but with a looser table (the norm at the $4s), I limp because I don't want to bloat the pot. Postflop is a little weak, but vs a standard player there's not much we beat except a bluff. Jx, QK, AK, KcXc...maybe I'm giving him too much respect. Meh, not a monster hand and I don't think folding is terrible here.

-----Once again don't limp from early position. Bet 90. After that
the hand is really hard to play. I probably let it go also.-----

Even more marginal in earlier position. I don't like a raise here; a limp is pretty marginal too (folding is what I do most), but I've got a healthy stack and don't mind seeing some cheap flops. I don't want to be c-betting OOP against loose players with AJ. Flop is obviously a standard fold; I missed, someone else says they haven't, I'm out.

Agreed on all counts :) 88 is borderline for me; I'm raising it occasionally, but decided to limp for whatever reason here.

also, what do you see the big difference is between limping big (but marginal) aces from EP and pairs?

-----This is what I posted on CC about this hand.

"We have to get away from this. A cold caller after a raise and reraise
And then a four bet. Between the two I think we have to give one of them
credit for QQ+ don't we?

At best we are racing with overcards.

Let it go, but, make sure that you take note of this.
I would play back at "Four Bet Villain" pretty light in the near
future."

After reading through the tourney history up to this point I don't hate
the call. But, I probably still lay the hand down given the fact that we will
not be in such great shape if we lose.

Tough spot. Questionable call. Very good result.-----

I still don't love my call either. It's hard not to be results-oriented here, though. I agree though - marginal at best.

Also note that I knew that the reraiser had me beat - I was most probably racing, but I'm fine with that considering how much dead money there is in the middle and the little FE we have.

-----Given your chipstack I'm not sure I fold this everytime. But you have
been very active and may not get as much respect so a fold was probably
the best option.-----

Yeah, pretty much word for word what you said. I think the fact that I just won a hand is a factor in how likely our opponents are to play back at us or call us. I think players are pretty much more likely to do so if we've played actively - especially recently.

Trying to get a little more aggressive (I know, limping doesn't spell aggression, but it's more aggressive than folding). A little weaksauce; I planned on taking a shot at any decent flop, not just set-mining.

Agreed. I remember this one specifically - villain was very tight and doesn't have less than a jack or 88/99 here. I don't disagree with a bluff 3-bet, but it's just a little too much for too small of a pot right now IMO.

-----Agree with your line completely. Tough call but a correct

This one was a reeeeeally tough hand for me. I tanked for so long on the turn. Surprised I didn't post this...maybe I thought it was a bad call, who knows.

I was sure this was either 89 or KT (maybe FD)...anyways, tough (marginal) call that turned out good.

-----I might have flat called jroll preflop hoping to get a call from haha.
I don't mind seeing AA go three way when there isn't a chance of anyone else.
Obviously we would push almost any flop if haha called also.-----


Completely agree with you tos; this is what I thought right after I made the instinctual reraise.

hahahhaa is a complete maniac and I can probably suck the rest of his stack into the middle if I smooth call. I wasn't happy with myself after my quick (and wrong) decision PF here.

-----I don't understand the overbet here. What was your reasoning?-----

Normally, I like to raise a little more (usually 1BB more) than usual from the SB vs the BB because of our positional disadvantage, and because he'll be getting decent odds with a 3BB raise. Here, villain barely has 10BB covered, and a standard raise is for a good portion of his stack. If I'm going to call his 3-bet AI (which I probalby am), then I might as well push. We'll get full FE, and will occasionally get looked up by worse hands that think we're stealing (see K9o :eek:).

I reserve small ball for my big stack vs medium stacks/other big stacks. vs small stacks, I just stick em in so I don't have to be faced with a tough call if they push.

-----Standard. I might have raised more than 5000, but, same result.-----

I disagree with raising more; all we're doing is committing ourselves the times when the blinds wake up with a bigger hand and come over the top. If we raise ~7500 here, we have to call a reshove. If we bet 5k and they come over the top, we know we're crushed and can get away safely.

-----I reraise this hand to 3000 preflop.-----

Not sure why I didn't get involved here; maybe villain was really tight or maybe I just didn't want to play too many hands within a small timeline (bad reason, I know).

I think reraising is a little reckless. We have a tough decision if one of the 6-8k stacks shoves behind us...I don't know I don't hate a reraise, but it seems a little much to me.
Folding is definitely a little on the nitty side though.

Well calling is terrible. We only have overs and a backdoor gutshot.

Raising has some merit to it, but he could very easily be doing this with 99/77 or even AQ, all of which he's not going anywhere with. I can't remember his stats, but I think this is pretty standard.

Again I much prefer getting my money in first. Calling is pretty marginal, but not terrible with position and our stack. Glad I took the safer route :)

-----I like the preflop call. I probably float the flop though. The straight
is not in villain's range. Villains range is AT+, 88+. We are deep enough to float this

Yeah, flop ch-f was pretty weak; I think floating and betting the turn is perfect for his stack size too.

Something to add is that this hand will get shown down with the shortstack AI. I'm sacrificing some of my tight image for the chance at winning the pot here with the c-bet.

Not something I like to do all the time, but I don't look like a maniac or anything after this, so I'm fine with it.

As played I agree with your postflop betting.-----


Wasn't happy with myself with this one either. The play does have some merit to it - we induce a c-bet postflop and can commit him with even a bluff.

There are a few problems though - we let small pairs see a flop which gives them a chance to let go of their hand (same with big unimproved cards). Not only that, but we give him a chance at outdrawing us obv.

Add in the fact that we've 3-bet AT and AQo in the last few hands, and I agree that this is an easy PF push.

-----I probably would have called this. It fits villains range but we have
a ton of outs.-----

I was planning on ch-raising this, but hutch pushed me out. I won't argue that a call is in order, but with only the j-high FD alongside my 2 pair outs and straight draw, I could be drawing pretty slim vs AsTx or something like that.

Yep. M of ~5 (even smaller considering we're getting shorthanded) makes this easy as pie.
Don't like that I'm in push/fold mode at the FT though.

Me too; we're gonna be in tons of these little blind battles as the game goes on too, so we need to be making bets with even worse in the future.

Bah. Not sure this is standard, but it's not terrible. We're short and the blinds are obv only going up. I shot for the win here, and definitely thought I could fold out A9o. villain was a nit too :/


Thanks again for taking the time to analyze this, tos. Much appreciated :)
