VIDEO DISCUSSION: Palsh 2 - $6.50 6max turbo SNG

[Trikkur]

**THIS THREAD IS FOR DISCUSSION OF Palsh 2 - $6.50 6max turbo SNG**

Another shorthanded SNG. Again, only one table. There's a big stack early and I'm trying to explain how I deal with this situation. Also, there is a decision heads-up which I examine again after the tourney. Unfortunately, there's no flash version of this video either. I changed the audio codec and probably will again for one of the next videos. I hope you won't have problems with the audio, at least if you hear sound it should sound much better than in my first video.

At the very start you have Q9s in the sb, only 10 more to see a flop and you fold. yes the BB raised but i limp this all day long.
Then a few hands later you call a min raise with Q8s in the sb? If you are going to do this you have to limp Q9s surely.
I think the raise with K8s is very standard seeing as the shortie will be pushing almost his whole range.
You get to see a free flop with 73o and the SB checks to you when you have middle pair, you min bet, honestly if you are going to bet this amount you may as well just check behind.
You just made a note that one of the players bets with air, then in the very next hand you simply check call with top 2! I ship him in all day long.
A board gets checked down and you min-bet the river with J high, just check it back he's only calling with better.

+1 i was really suprised you didnt put him in

Ok, i watched the video and although my playing style is abit different i'm ok with most of the play. Also the hands you played kinda played themselves.

BUT whats up with the limping HU on the button? I really dont understand that part. You both have 40bb which gives you enough room to raise preflop especially otb. He did the same thing though..... weird

And than you limp in 62s otb: what do you want to accomplish with that? I really like your read post-flop but preflop is a big mistake : either raise or fold and raising something this weak is spewy so I'd fold.
Post-flop you are right that he was chasing a draw but any draw has huge equity against you (very likely two overcards + FD) or you are already crushed (a 9, a 6 with better kicker, 77 88). I think you have a bigger edge here against this player being 40bb deep instead of putting it in with (at best) 40% equity.

GG (LOL at the guy with A2)

I think you need to put 'b1gdadi26' in for his stack, if he has a flush then so be it, but I think he shoves with that. You could also have checked the turn to him to seeing as he twice broke up the silent collusion with an air bet, you have induced a bluff and then reraised him, but as played was fine, although you should ship it in on the river 100% of the time IMO.

I didn't agree with some of your plays early on, I think you should probably be a bit tighter, but most of it was pretty standard, nh.
