@Keltaris, imo:

1st hand
I think the default move here is to open (2x/3x), depending on how the table plays a limp could work out I guess ? I really dont like the rest of the hand, you have an underpair vs a minbet, why do you raise the flop ? the river is here and we somehow have some showdown value, you are last to act, why do you bet the river ?

2nd hand
Pre is fine, the flop; I sometimes treat a minbet like a check so a call otf is ok (odds/implied odds) allthough we are OOP so it will be harder to extract if we hit. Why do we minbet out ott when a blank hits ? doesnt make any sense to me, I feel like we are seriously clicking buttons here. I feel like we light a blind on fire once we are otr after all this action before but I guess once you get there that way you might think K high is taking it down ? Think about his preflop range and narrow it down from there.

3rd hand
Feels standard allthough it depends on the player that opens. If he didnt open a hand for an hour dont do this, if he regularly opens late/mid then its much better.

Edit;
Dont mean to sound to harsh in the post above or here but I feel you have no plan at all when playing hands 1 and 2. I think checking out some videos and reading hh's could help your postflop game.

what is the best site for like 45man videos?

Hi guys, just wondering if this is a shove? Taking into consideration UTG's stack can we fold here?

Hero ?

UTG already folded, why take his stack into consideration? Easy shove imo.

As in UTG will be in the BB next hand with 5.5BB behind.

I am thinking this should be a shove, sure the blinds will hit him next and there is a decent chance he might bust, but its at the beginning of the final table, so ICM considerations are not as huge as they might be in terms of waiting for 1 player to bust before you, also we are also very short, and UTG+1 so the blinds are coming for us too, so if we dont get it in soon our fold equity will decrease a decent amount.

Bankroll requirements for 45 mans, how many buy ins should I be sticking with per level... 100? 200?

Thanks in advance.

Pretty sure 100 would be deemed ok. Bankroll requirements completely depend on the person though, more agressive means you can move up faster, but also means you will have to move down a lot faster to avoid going bust. If moving down if you run bad is a catastrophe for you, and you get tilted if you see your bankroll takes a large hit, you should obvioulsy play more buyins. You can argue for playing with anything between like 50-400 buyins I guess, if you play with 400 buyins you should pretty much never have to move down if you are decently +EV at 45mans, if you have 50 buyins it is something that willhappen every now and then.

One quick question I have, doing HH reviews in HEM and I am wondering if there is way to instantly see if you are at the final table or not? Obviously seeng the blind levels\that its not 9man helps out, but its not 100% accurate.

Anyone knows if there's anything to do about the BB stat in the HEM HUD not updating for the first hand of every blind level increase? It's really tilting me to have to double check the blinds every time even though I have the stat out.

Is division that hard? I wouldn't use the BB stat at all.

Hello all, is this a std shove? blinds go up next hand. 8 dollar 180 turbo.
thx in advance

If you doubt this is a push you are likely shoving way too tight.

It's not about division being hard. It's just that when I have the stat available to me in the HUD I don't want to double check it every time. I guess I'll just not have the stat in my HUD then.

easy jam. you can/should go much wider than that.

UTG+2 is 32/18 [50 hands]
MP1 is 21/14 [28 hands]

23x 45-man tourneys $3.50 and $7, without a cash at all. Is this normal variance? I feel like I could be shoving too light (and a few too light calls)

23 isn't anything to worry about. If this is your longest losing streak then you're running good!

maybe can be only running bad, if is an isolated case, not a problem.

This is from 210 fpp 20 players sng.

Wanted ask about theses 2 hands...

Played 6 hands, player who shove is 50/33 so far.

What best action here? :?

^ both hands are easy folds

$7/45 is the flop just an easy c/shove? Was playing alotta tables and cbet by default

Pretty sure the jam (basically call) is std after cbetting tho

c/s is fine/gains more FE with these stacks.
b/c as played is pretty standard

Hello

I am reviewing some tournys atm and was wondering if its ok to post a few hands in each post (all from same tourney) as only want basic response (eg bet, shove, fold).

I think alot of theses may be basics, but it all helps!

Ok will post one - Mods please delete if not approrite.

all hands are from the same tourney

Hand one
Second hand of the tournement. (My HEM is screwed so this is either a 45man SNG .25 or 1.00. or a 0.25 90 man SNG)

Hi, just wondered in the 3.50$ turbo rebuy. Do regulars double buyin at the start, to start off with 3k chips? And I assume no regular will rebuy if they bust, as it would be better to just join the next one?

Playing HUsngs atm, and thinking about giving MTTsngs a go, so just wondering.
