Well i was really thinking for a while on this one. My blind steal got reraised all in twice.. But on the other hand i had to call 4k more for an 18k pot. Plus i don't mind my hand that much. I mean they probably don't have me dominated. I'm still amazed at how these fish got to the final table playing like that.. I'm still not sure if i should have just folded it or not.

BTN Hero (11,790)
SB Konsti III (4,770)
BB Eefjen (7,140)

Blinds: 600/1,200 Ante 75

Pre-Flop: (2,175, 5 players) Hero is BTN J♠ 9♠
2 folds, Hero raises to 2,700, Konsti III goes all-in 4,695, Eefjen raises to 6,690, Hero goes all-in 11,715, Eefjen goes all-in 375

Flop: 9♥ 9♣ K♣ (23,850, 3 players, 3 all-in)

Turn: 7♥ (23,850, 3 players, 3 all-in)

River: 8♣ (23,850, 3 players, 3 all-in)
Konsti III says "vnh"

Final Pot: 23,850
Hero shows three of a kind, Nines
J♠ 9♠
Konsti III shows two pair, Kings and Nines
K♦ 2♦
Eefjen shows a full house, Nines full of Kings
K♥ 9♦

Eefjen wins 19,200 (net +12,060)

Hero collects 4,650 (net -7,140)
Konsti III lost 4,770
-----------------------------------------

Another situation like that, i had to call 3000 more for a 10000 pot. Now that im looking back, i was probably tilting slightly because of all the sick bad beats i had gotten that session. Should i have folded or not?

blinds are 1.2k your stack is 11.7k.

you have <10bb. and are pushing ~6 blinds effectively due to the stacks behind you.

pushing pre flop is the correct play with J9s


Well im already pushing with a quite high range on the final table. And i keep getting busted even when i have the other players crushed. My ICM is probably a little off since i haven't practiced it in ages.

this was the second hand btw. But what i really wanted to know, should i have folded to the reraises? (in both hands)

Eefjen goes all-in 4,725, 2 folds, Hero ???

Edit: Yeah my ICM is way off, Well 88% in 222 hands isn't that bad i guess considering the last time i used it was about 5 months ago. Will have to start practicing it every day again.

there is a lot of variance in SnGs. this will happen to you a lot. just keep practicing and making the correct plays and your results will follow in time.

dont let a bad run of cards change your game. keep making the correct plays and keep practicing your ICM game.

hand1: like i said just push pre flop, that is the correct play. raise/call and raise/fold are both bad.

hand2: you can only make a +cEV call here getting 2:1 or greater. you arent getting the required odds, so its a fold. i would even fold this hand getting 2:1 sometimes because its so horribly bad.
