Hi guys!
This is my first post in the hand evaluation forum. Finally I decided to ask so I can improve!

My first hand is:
No Limit Hold'em Tournament T60/T120
Buy-in: $1.39+$0.11 USD Hold'em No Limit
PokerStars
4 players
Formatted by pokercopilot.com - Mac OS X hand history analysis and tracking

Stacks:
UTG - Hero (T946)
BTN - BTN (T1,091)
SB - SB (T1,223)
BB - BB (T1,240)

Preflop: (T228, 4 players) Hero is UTG with 7♠ 7♥
Hero raises to T934 (all-in), 1 fold, SB calls T874, 1 fold

Flop: 5♦ 7♦ 5♥ (T2,036" + BOLD_END + GREEN_END + ", 2 players, 1 all-in)

Turn: 9♣ (T2,036, 2 players, 1 all-in)

River: Q♦ (T2,036, 2 players, 1 all-in)

Total Pot: T2,036
SB shows Q♥ A♦ (two pair, Queens and Fives)
Hero shows 7♠ 7♥ (a full house, Sevens full of Fives)

Hero wins T2,036

I was lucky here, but I'm not sure if, being at just 1 spot from the money, I should have risked that.

My second hand is:
No Limit Hold'em Tournament T30/T60
Buy-in: $1.39+$0.11 USD Hold'em No Limit
PokerStars
3 players
Formatted by pokercopilot.com - Mac OS X hand history analysis and tracking

Stacks:
BTN - Hero (T2,551)
SB - SB (T872)
BB - BB (T1,077)

Preflop: (T108, 3 players) Hero is BTN with K♠ Q♦
Hero raises to T120, 1 fold, BB calls T60

Flop: 5♣ 6♠ 4♠ (T288, 2 players)
BB bets T120, Hero raises to T300, BB calls T180

Turn: 4♦ (T888, 2 players)
BB bets T120, Hero calls T120

River: 3♦ (T1,128, 2 players)
BB bets T180, Hero calls T180

Total Pot: T1,488
BB shows 6♥ K♦ (two pair, Sixes and Fours)
Hero mucks K♠ Q♦

BB wins T1,488

I know this is poorly played :P. But how should I have done it?

Thanks in advance! Really looking forward to your opinions!

Hand #1: Pretty standard shove, I guess.

Hand #2:

You're not beating anything here. Since it's a hyper turbo and the stacks are shallow, I think you would be better of folding on the turn.

He's likely to have hit something since he called your raise on the flop or he's got an ace.

1st hand, standard shove. You can shove a lot wider there. I would shove any pair, any broadway, any ace and some suited connectors depending a little bit on how loose they call.

Alright!

So, on the first hand I did the right thing (good to know) and in the second I did right until the turn, where, since he was still betting and I had nothing, it made no sense to keep paying.

Cool! Thanks guys! That clears my mind a little bit so I can keep improving :f_cool: :f_cool:

Someone from the staff will probably be around to evaluate this hand, too, so be sure to check back! :) Maybe they'll give a bit more technical answer, too.

forgot to mention: 2nd hand
Well played untill the flop. cbet is good, would personally make it 140. on the raise you have to fold. Even if you hit your K or Q, you could still be behind. And thats basicly the only equity you have besides a backdoor K high flush.

when he calls the the raise its either he hit something or has big hand. turn was to induce a bluff raise or a block bet so obviously either raise and pure bluff him or fold but fold is better. river as played fold this is clearly an induce or block bet theres no way he will fold or you have a better hand if you want him to fold you should have done it on the turn

ah lastly dont add results when you post hands its better without it cuz youll get more accurate advice and im not sure but i suggest you should stick in regular or turbo first and will be better if full ring than 6 man cuz you have many things to improve first SH hyper turbo i think is more postflop in early and should have solid lategame

Hi all,

First hand is definitely fine, no one disagrees there :).

Second hand: I like the raise on the flop. If villain bet more on the flop, I think a fold is better. Here I think he's blockbetting often enough and will fold facing pressure.

On the turn a call is good, we have the odds to call him and we have position besides.

On the river a fold is better. I don't think villain has enough hands that we beat (mainly missed draws that aren't ace high draws), so I think a fold is better, despite the good odds we're getting.
