A couple of situations

I am working on improving my tournament game and fixing possible some leaks. Would like some criticism/opinions on these pretty standard situations;

Hand 1;
+ Show Spoiler +

Hand 2;
+ Show Spoiler +

Hand 3;
+ Show Spoiler +

I know these are pretty standard, but sometimes I just need to hear it from other people to make sure I am thinking the correct way.

Regarding AK as a hand, how strong are these later into a tourney? Are they still insta all in vs short/medium stacks? Or do you play them much more cautious? And I specifically mean this when deep stacked.

One other;

Hand 4;
+ Show Spoiler +

Personally in my own micro-low stakes tourneys I never fold AK unless its to ridiculous action from multiple deep stacked (30bb+ nits), so hand 1 and 2 are both easy shove/call all ins.

Hand 3 I agree is weird, vs. a complete unknown I'd probably 3bet his minraise because it looks so weak, but flatting then folding there can't be bad I don't think because overbetting is pretty strong, but without information he could be doing it with anything...

Hand 4 is a clear fold

hand 1.
call

hand 2.
all-in


hand 3.
3bet or just give it up. as played, i'm probably calling or raising

hand4.
fold

1 - standard call, are u really considering folding after commintg so many chips to the pot?
2 - All in every day till the end of days
3 - u gotta think if u and him are so deepstacked, why would he want to risk his life stealing blinds. As played his line looks super strong like 10s thorugh Ks so just fold pre and wait for better spots.
4 - fold

1 - shove 3bet rather than 3betting small
2 - shove
3 - I'd fold, it's way too risky to potentially play for stacks in such a mediocre spot. Unless you can give me a good reason to play here, I'm folding
4 - easy fold

Yeah, looking back on this, these are all std. I was trying to make reasons for the coolers I guess

Cheers

180man sit+go (not turbo)
34 players left, 18 are paid.

I wouldnt consider this when playing a 180 man

You dont really make anything decent until 5th+

Folding into a min-cash of $8 after like 2.5hours would be more depressing than going bust here.

Yeah I agree. I play to make FT. Then I find it very easy to negotiate my way into top 3 or winning, as alot of players who make it to FT in 180man are usually pretty bad, have got lucky / are complete fish, and its pretty easy to run over them. I guess i should be stacking off with AK here all the time. He easily can have any PP here and its a flip. Just I rather prefer being the one shoving than calling a shove.

1)shove no small raise
2)shove
3) You can fold.. I'd probably fold but im sure I'd take your line from time to time too
4)fold

Shove #1
Shove #2
Fold #3 in donkaments a minraise from the sb is more often then not the nuts unless you have a little history with him doing it all the time just fold pre....especially smaller tourneys if ppl want to steal here they're more inclined to 3x it imo
Fold #4 endymion has been pretty tight so you're most likely kilt

hand 1 I don't mind 3 bet/snap calling or re-shoving, both options are good. Re shoving may be better at these limits b/c ppl are pretty bad and may just flat you a lot.. then you are in kind of a weird spot when horrible flops come, but whatever it's def. not a mistake to 3b/call.

hand 2 - value re-shove and this hand is fine.

hand 3 - i like teh call pre b/c you're both fairly deep (for a tournament) and ppl play terribly, i don't think i'd 3b as a bluff here too often b/c when you're deep and have position in a blind battle, it's more profitable to just call against most players and own them post flop, plus less variance when you're not getting into 3b/4b wars. I'd also fold to the flop overbet unless i had a pretty confident read that he only does this weak.
