God reviewing my sessions i've found out that i've bust out of many sng's because i'm unable to identify when i'm beat and also can't fold 2 pair or better on certain hands.

how should i play this kind of hands? after i encounter some resistence should i release my hand? what if they're playing some Ax kind of hands?

im a noob :f_p: but if blind levels were 15-30 and your stack was 1365 I wouldnt have called at the first raise from utg+1 with A8s or at least like diversfx suggest you shouldnt have called with so many players left. the reraise at the turn is the real hint that LP hit something strong like flush: he is aware you have an ace but reraise big because or he has AK/AA (impossible due to simple call preflop at utg+1 raise) or he hit a flush or he wants to scare you with air.
Btw I dont see much point in calling the computer hand after a 3xBB raise... If I said something wrong feel free to correct me and teach me something :f_grin:

I prefer calling a UTG raise with suited connectors that suited crappy ace. as played fold on RR as diversfx said. multiway pot with a lot of action. someone has hit big and u are behind imo

Hi all,

This, however I would call this hand preflop closing the action after so many have called. I like betting big on the turn and folding to a raise, something like 325 is my sizing.
