Well I want to post many hands from yesterdays $109 ME on 888 (just won my 7th ticket)
Too many for hand analysis thread plus I played on phone and don’t have history, just some screenshots.
Most of the hands are about 3 hours in with 30 min late reg left 15k starting chips

After taking a hit AK<AA I was down in the 7-12BB range and know I should be shoving many of the hands I folded, I just want confirmation that I should have shoved or are my folds still okay (not showing hands I shoved with PPs or AJ+)

Since there’s many hands it will be in a few posts

Also don’t know why pics look bit blurry and don’t zoom in well, they’re perfect on my phone album

Even down to 4 BB I am still folding KJ, KQ which I know is 100% wrong now but 180 paid $300 min and I wanted to limp ITM, would have to if my KK didn’t run into AA
I thought many folds I made where I should be shoving brought me from 550th place under 10bb to 185th place
But poker is about playing correctly, not scared, so maybe next time I win this seat, I will actually run deep from making better choices
Thank you all for any input on any hands

The folds look ok looking at your first post.
Ace rag in these events does not play well especially when somebody has already raised and your short stacked your getting called most of the time and behind.
Ideally you need AK/ 1010 or better pair preferably to improve your showdown chances.
Depends though some late position spots if everybody folds to you A10s or KQs might be worth trying to take down the blinds and antes but if your called chances are your more than likely behind the raise has to be able to get folds really too.
The folds look good for all those hands except maybe these 2 just glancing at your thread.
KcQd I would have probably shoved if short stacked maybe Ac10s too,
Unlucky cooler for you in the end with KK well played.:eek:
With a $300 minimum cash for a $109 buy in ICM considering think there is nothing wrong with folding everything you did before the bubble bursts if you can survive and make the money it is ok.

Thank you for the reply. I am a tight is right player so all the Ax and low PP hands, especially not in good position seemed like the right move.
It’s really the KQ against the blinds that I should have shoved but the player to my left had a huge stack and could have called with any two. Which is a good thing but my history usually ends up with me out.
I guess even if I did that and won the KK hand still would have put me out, maybe I should be even tighter and folded? LMAO
I felt great holding on as long as I did, and next time, I’m out to win;)
