Hey everyone!

Going to post here three hands that I marked this week, I hope you can give me feedback!

1- Here I think that this is probably a shove preflop or in the flop, I have a nice hand and the chances he got there with a Jack are slim even though there are alot of those in his range but also are AK, AQ, AT, KT, KQ, 33-99, and I'm winning against all of these. I am losing to JJ+, AJ, JT, J9, 3X (unlikely), 22 and 33. According to my calculations there is 25% of the deck that has me beat, but he doens't play with the whole deck so we can eliminate hands like JX - J7 (suited or offsuit to make calculations easier), X3 - Q3, so that make it only 13%. Sure he could have a flush draw even though I am blocking that but there are much more combos behind me than those ahead. I played scared and folded here the better hand for most of the time. I basically dissected this hand while posting it but I still would like some feedback, especially about the hand combos calculations:

Poker Stars, $0.21 Buy-in (25/50 blinds, 6 ante) No Limit Hold'em Tournament, 5 Players

CO: 812 (16.2 bb)
BTN: 1,811 (36.2 bb)
SB: 969 (19.4 bb)
Hero (BB): 1,913 (38.3 bb)
MP: 3,495 (69.9 bb)

Preflop: Hero is BB with T♣: T♦:
MP raises to 205, CO folds, BTN calls 205, SB folds, Hero calls 155

Flop: (670) J♣: 2♣: 3♦: (3 players)
Hero checks, MP bets 350, BTN folds, Hero calls 350

Turn: (1,370) 3♥: (2 players)
Hero checks, MP bets 1,350, Hero folds

2- Even worse fold! If I had alot of beaten combos in the previous hand I even have more now! I'm losing to 6X, 66, 99, 55, KK, AA, 95, K9 and K5. There's only 13% of the deck that has me beaten without range considerations, which would take out many 6X and probably 95o and even K5 (especially offsuit). Not speaking even about the odds I amd getting in both of the hands. A terrible fold again in my opinion... This dissection was made once again while posting this, I am starting to believe this is much more productive than simple review ;)

BTN: 1,500 (75 bb)
SB: 1,500 (75 bb)
BB: 1,500 (75 bb)
UTG: 1,500 (75 bb)
Hero (MP): 1,500 (75 bb)
CO: 1,500 (75 bb)

Preflop: Hero is MP with A♠: K♥:
UTG folds, Hero raises to 60, CO calls 60, 3 folds

Flop: (168) 5♣: 6♠: K♦: (2 players)
Hero bets 84, CO calls 84

Turn: (336) 6♦: (2 players)
Hero bets 168, CO raises to 336, Hero calls 168

River: (1,008) 9♣: (2 players)
Hero checks, CO bets 300, Hero folds

3 - Now this one is a bit unclear, I think it is a fold pr a shove. He min reraises me which might indicate a strong Ace or a PP (TT+). With his line, analyzing this now, I think he probably represents a PP below AA or an Ace, with the board like that I think that folding is the "safest option", calling is terrible and shoving is OK I guess. Waiting for your feedback ;)

First hand, the TT's. I would just shove here when a player raises and another calls, I guess you can 3Bet, but i would prefer shoving.

Hand 2, AKo. Preflop is fine.
On the flop i would raise a little smaller, around 35%, you want 5's, 6's and worse kings to call.
50% on the turn is fine for value, the 6 is not perfect for you, but you still could get alot of value from worse kings. That 6 actually makes his kings better in his eyes, so definetly calling the reraise.
And check/call river.
On the turn i would check as you did and call.

Hand three, you should defend when he gives up initiative on the flop, it's pretty wet so your ace needs protection.

The first hand I would shove TT as well for value pre-flop, because you’re not deep enough to 3bet against 2 men and it’s likely if you make it like 600 that you still play post-flop multi way out of position.

2nd hand I think your sizing is fine. Especially on a random 25c SNG I would earlier bet more than less against a random player, because they will call more then on the higher limits I think.
The river I would call as well on his tiny bet, because you get so good odds and is sometimes possible he will play like this with worse hands. Off course his line looks super strong and is folding not a big mistake.

3rd hand I would call his min 3bet pre-flop as well. No need to blow up the pot with 4betting and folding for 40 more seems to weak. The flop I would bet for protection on this wet board after his check. If he’s check/raising you can make an easy fold. The turn is ugly, but I would most likely fold, because we have a weak ace and the hand is difficult to improve and we need to worry about a potential big river bet as well to bluff catch him and that’s not worth it to call his pot size bet I think.
