Hey guys!

I usually played CG but got bored and thought I have a try at MTTSNG!
So I'll probably be around here sometimes from now.

I've played SNGs before, but I'm a little rusty.. especially with handling the small stack sizes in the end game.
So I have two hands which I'd like reviewed

Hand 1

PokerStars - $13.78+$1.22|600/1200 NL - Holdem - 9 players
Hand converted by PokerTracker 3

UTG+1: 7,910.00
MP: 4,045.00
MP+1: 5,887.00
LP: 8,226.00
Hero (CO): 10,217.00
BTN: 10,635.00
SB: 4,995.00
BB: 7,840.00
UTG: 7,745.00

UTG+1 posts ante 75.00, MP posts ante 75.00, MP+1 posts ante 75.00, LP posts ante 75.00, Hero posts ante 75.00, BTN posts ante 75.00, SB posts ante 75.00, BB posts ante 75.00, UTG posts ante 75.00, SB posts SB 600.00, BB posts BB 1,200.00

Pre Flop: (2475.00) Hero has A 9

fold, fold, fold, fold, fold, Hero raises to 3,000.00, fold, SB raises to 4,920.00 and is all-in, fold, Hero calls 1,920.00

How much do I bet here? just shove? make it 2bb?

My thought process was:
1. I want the blinds from the shorties
2. The other bigger stack is right left to me
3. My hand is decent, but not really great

If the bigger stack wouldn't be there, I'd just shove. But with him there, I don't wanna get called. Right now I think bet 2bb/fold ag big stack as the best option but not sure. I'd like to hear what you'd do here.

Hand 2

This one's a really banal question, but we shove here even on the bubble right? I think I get called close to 100% and K3o is slightly ahead. Maybe I can even get folds from time to time. Or would you pass and hope that someone else busts? What would your range be here?

PS: When TableNinja tells me I played 33 tourneys and PT says 26, is that because I unregistered some tourneys which TN auto-registered? Does TN not recognize "unregistering"?

Thx before hand for the answers

Cheers

Hand No1:
Ship it preflop, hate min raise, foldin to shove.
If we ship pre, and make max pressure, its the easiest, most profitable play that will scoop up those blind most of the time.

Hand No2:
Yep, K high is a must shove here IMO. As you already said, we are probably to be called down here 95% of the time, and K will be in front here lots of the time.

Both hands an just go straight in. WP

jam pre both

Ship,and well played

yeah jam pre both, never folding hand one so even if you minraise it, still calling a shove by the SB, wp
