last time I gave you advice you got bent out of shape not sure why, I'll try again.

These are Single Table Tournaments (I think?) which is a highly specialised NLHE game format, in which ICM plays a major function. There is an STT forum and it is - by a long way - the best place to post STT hands, if you seriously wish to specialise and improve in those games.

Notwithstanding, you should not post your results, or at the very least, place them in spoiler.

It is humanly very difficult to analyse hands that you know the outcomes of without having your thinking biased.

FYI...unless someone is out and out trolling you - which is rare in BQ - it is best to ignore their "style" and just focus on their content.

PS I have not played STTs for 4 years, I'd be doing you a disservice if I tried to analyse them.

+1
I retired from that forum 2+ years ago, so take my advice with a grain of salt.

+2

H1: i'm personally raising at max 2.5x rather than 3.3x pre, but considering you got 3 callers its probably fine either way. Otf i'd be betting bigger, ~70% pot. We can get called by a bunch of hands, protecting against a 4th spade at the same time. After he shoves, reads would be helpful, but considering this is so early on it almost certainly isn't worth the risk to call. We are giving up significant $EV if we call and lose, and dont win as much $EV when we call and win (assuming this is a standard 50/30/20 payout structure, and not a KO or 50/50).

H2: If the BB is 200, shouldn't the minimum possible raise be 400 instead of 360? Either way, KJo seems to be a pretty standard shove BvB with these stacks.
As played, i'd bet 35-40% pot ott when more draws develop. Shove the river.

H3: Just cbet this board, villain is likely gonna check back a bunch. The c/r is unnecessary and too big. It folds out most of his bluffs and hands that we have massive equity against, and keeps in all hands vs which we are getting it in against anyway.


In general, your betsizing seems to be off a lot. I'm guessing your mostly just clicking the 'pot' or '1/2 pot' buttons. When making a bet, figure out what range of hands is calling you and think about how that range changes (if at all) when you size up or down.

nvm

+1 on the not posting results............looks like you're looking for validation over honest critique.

P.s. my opinions come after seeing results.

Nothing notable here. V WAY over played his hand and let you off easy.

I c-bet a high percentage of flops, so I'm going to bet my normal 1/3 -1/2 pot here hoping to get 2 streets of value. If V calls ( which most do ) I will check behind if I think V will call a river bet. If I have already shown down a big hand after taking that line, I might just go ahead and fire the turn also. I consider what I've already done at this table and the V in the hand when I make my decision.

Hand 1: The worst hands villain will have are made hands with a high fd (KQ, AJ). He's also flopped a flush a good percentage of time of the time but with the blockers to the nut/high fd on the board and your own outs I think it's a call.

Hand 2: You can extract more value by betting. Its obviously hard for villain to have a piece of the board but it's a draw heavy flop and he'll also call at least one street with some of his mid pps.
