Should i folded preflop?

I think this is a fine shove. You have a decent amount of fold equity here and there is also a change you get called by worse.

Check on the turn?

This hand I call also pre-flop on his weird click back 3 bet. If you see him doing this kind of moves a lot I’m shoving against him.

On the flop the button is the aggressor. In this case I give him the opportunity to bet here. If he’s doing that you can decide if you call or push all-inn based on his bet size.

As played I push turn as well with top pair and if he has better is it unlucky I think.

Bubble for final table hand. Villain was doing some crazy stuff.Those are my notes on him:
[P] 3Bet All-In (Eff. Stacks: BB between 5 and 20) with {33,A9o} (2)
[P] 3Bet Blind vs Steal All-In (Eff. Stacks: BB >= 8) with {99,A9o} (2)
[P] Called SB Open Shove from BB with {K6s,KTo,97o} (3)
[P] Called a 3Bet Out of Position (Eff. Stacks: BB >= 15) with {KQo} (1)
[P] Raised or Called All-in Preflop (Eff. Stacks: BB >= 22) with {99,AKo} (2)

I don’t think that is too crazy. Only 97o is little bit weird to call with SB against BB, but don’t know in what kind of situation that was. So based on that I don’t think he 3 bet extreme loose in this situation. He 3 bet shoved earlier with 99 and A9o against a steal. Those are no junk hands. Only A9o is loose, but not crazy or something.

I expect this is a close spot against him and I’m most likely folding, because you’re on the Final Table bubble and you have most of the time a flip or worse against his 3 bet shoving range. Also you have an edge against most opponents and you don’t want to give that away in a spot like this.

Thanks for reviews, SDK1987!

Now i have a bankroll of 48$ and i play the 0.25 45max sng. Do you believe i should switch to 0.50 45max (turbo)?

I think you can try it out, but beware that the blinds go up a lot faster than you used to be and the swings are a lot higher if you compare it with the 25c games. That means your push/fold game is a lot more important than in the regular variant.
If you go let’s say below $40 you can always switch back to the 25c games if it’s not going well.

How do you play JJ in this kind of spots, with multiple limpers? Looking back i think is a mistake to push. How would you play pocket pairs 77-JJ with multiple limpers or when you are UTG?

Hi personally with JJ here I would have limped behind and called a raise (if price was right) more or less looking to set mine , qq is a hand I would raise looking to get heads up to the flop but not JJ (and I would have raised about 180-210) your raise just inflates the pot as everyone is bound to at least call it :f_drink:

JJ is I think to strong to limp behind here, but if I raise 180 is a lot better in a spot like this.
I raise at 15/30 blind level 3x and 1 for every limper.
As played I like the shove, because the MP Player doesn’t have a strong hand most of the time. Only limp/shove of UTG is a little bit nasty, but that’s unlucky if he trapped there.
77-JJ I raise most of the time with multi limpers, maybe a hands like 77-99 you can limp behind for set value. First in I always raise 77-JJ to 3x in 15/30 blind level.

Even though this time ended well should i fold in this kind of spots ( was the second hand of the table)? I didn't had any kind of stats on the players involved in the action. Should i play in this spots only with JJ+, AK? What do you think, guys?

Player looks passive so far. You have most likely a thin value bet on turn, but is close I think. I don’t mind checking here. As played looks his bet on river strong. I don’t think he will do it too often with weaker than your hand and is a call already questionable. Most passive players doing that with a flush and is a fold I think the best option.

You have middle pair on the flop against 2 players. If you bet here you get most of the time only action of better and I like to pot control here and check here and evaluate the action of button.

As played I don’t think the button will bet too often as bluff against 2 players and is folding the best option.

Even though this time ended well should i fold in this kind of spots ( was the second hand of the table)? I didn't had any kind of stats on the players involved in the action. Should i play in this spots only with JJ+, AK? What do you think, guys?

Calling in position with AJs is fine, but after the big raise of BB is AJs an easy fold. It’s likely he 3 bet with hands like you said JJ+ AK. If you had those hands yourself you had 3 bet already on the button.

In this blind vs blind spots with sb limping when i flop top pair should i play passive against a loose opponent or with a better kicker i could take the initiative?

I’m most likely play the hand the same way, but his bet sizing on turn looks weak.
He could easily have a Q with a better kicker and is also difficult to get value from Jx or worse.
Maybe you could raise turn already, but that will be a thin value raise and call is fine as well.
River I raise a little bit more to try to get more value with mine 2 pair. 600 or so is a little bit better I think.

I saw this move a lot coming from loose players. They call your cbet, check the turn and then bet the river. By these moves they try to take me off the hand or they got something?

I expect most of the time they got something on the 50c stakes if they call the flop, but I couldn’t fold the river as well on his tiny bet.

The call of BB is indeed suspicious, because he should newer fold if you push here. So it’s likely he will trap with a big pocket pair in a spot like this and you have only invested 90 chips so far. I would fold here and wait for a better spot and if you see the BB calling with a weaker hand you expected here it’s smart to make a note about it.

Your now playing 9 player SNG’s or I’m wrong?
