77+, ATs+, AQo+, QJs i guess maybe AJs and KQs

qjs seems really ambitious. 66 prob in there, rest seems ok.

texture hits their combined range, will be hard to fold out better.

88/ATs/AJ/KQs

would decide w 77, AT, KJs, KQ.

turbo/fo?

Wow I might be too ****ing loose here but I was thinking: 77+, A10+, A8s+ and KQs ... KQ perhaps...

Folded 55.
It's The Big $33 wash. Regspeed fo like all the bigs

Fair enough.
Awakening I think I snap my 2nd suggested range after having closer look.
And even looser

Ridiculous price and 8bb eff from bb - my 1st range is obv too tight.

Shud I have made it more on the flop here? Really hate the villans flop play here, insanely fishy

easy shove pre

why would you want him to fold the flop? seems fine to me

because he's a dolt.
Doubt shoving pre isn't +ev, but it's definitely not my standard

I dont mind a lead otf. Gives you a chance to 3b. : )

You got your money in good bro.

Re shove pre I like it more 15-20 bb perhaps 25 but I feel 30 bb is a bit too deep ya?

$2 6max, 6th hand no reads

^^^^ I think I would fold the turn.

you would bet 2p+ ott and rarely lead Kx on that texture otf.

Too tight w 1010?

Thanks!

Both hands look well played N1kkiJ, hand 2 looked more fishy like a draw or a weak 8. Well played.

1 - fine
2 - shove pre. just call as played. he's not folding Jx.

Hi guys n am new to the forum , Iv'e been playing for years but only now getting serious at it , I want to know , can you just be a complete nit in tournaments ? That's basically it right ? what advice would you provide , I'm reading the Harrington's , but to me it really seems to be : be nitty , change it up time and again , and play aggro at final table , is this just super simplistic and silly of me ? Pls I'm eager to learn and don't really know where to post am new

Can I call here?

Sizing on any raise, cheers.

There's no magic formula to being a winning player - if you just have a single plan A you become easy to play against. Good players can play tight or loose as the situation demands it.

no, but you could shove the first time

880-999, doesnt matter really.

1-nh
2-shove pre as played I dont like the shove so i would call - definitely not folding. When we shove I feel like the hands that call us herehave us crushed ...

Well I started off as a limit cash player so I got the basics from there. I don't know what a tournament player does to learn the basics. If this were limit I would tell you to read "small stakes holdem" by ed Miller but idk if there's a tournament Bible book like there is in lhe. I read Jonathon little's book. That was good. The problem with tourneys and newbies is you can't just nit it up like you can in a cash game because the changing dynamics of short stacks and the stages of the tournament. I think being new and learning how to play tournaments is tough. Im grateful I came up in lhe. If you can play on stars I would say play the micro 45/90/180 man sng and get a feel for how those work then transition into mtt. You could play like 1r - 3-5 to mtt and post and read a ton here and in the sng forums.
