WTF are you thinking here? your 4 outer is good?
Geez.

Plus it seems you LOVE to play anything ... ANYTHING suited

beanie42

I'm fairly new, so I'm analyzing with limited experience, and also so that my critique will get critiqued (make sense? ).

To me it appears you are calling way to much, and you significantly overvalue suited cards.  You played K7s but folded A5o (not necessarily a bad fold, but comparatively, doesn't make sense to me).  You also raised with 27s (#2502727375), and then called an all-in pre-flop.  I also noticed an all-in with bottom pair on flop (#2502702558).  I also noticed a bunch of min raises, which don't appear to serve any purpose, and are often with drawing hands, which looks (to me) like throwing money away.

As far as what to improve on, I'd honestly suggest getting a good starting hand guide.  I'd also say you should bet more than min when betting (have a strategy when raising), and stop raising so much with drawing hands.  But again, I could be way off here, so let's see what the "pros" think.

I do think it's pretty gutsy to post so much of your game though, since it does open you up to a lot of criticism, so kudos to you for that.

4 outs? I counted 13, which seemed good at the time.

I agree, I play suited hands too much, but find strictly playing top 10 hands isn't enough to win sng's.

Regarding bets, what should I bet w/ top ten hands preflop? I usually go 3xBB or so, is that too little?

Thx for the tips.. I do have a starting hand book (phil hellmuths limit book), but his tips don't really apply to no limit games. Any recommendations?

'nuff said.

You are too loose.

If you're a winning player so far, it's variance.

Tilter

First Hand: KQd
its early on and you're already making weak raises with out of position hands. On flop, overplaying you're draw to the max. You've only got 800 chips to start and you've just commit 300 chips on a draw on a weak looking flop that looks great if the other guy has an overpair.

Second Hand: A4c
You're on the button probably with the best hand so you raise. I guess good information that you just found out the blinds will muck to a min raise with horrible holding. But so far on preflop play, its makingme think this is a LIMIT SNG.

Third Hand: 98d
With 98d its a good hand to draw because you can hit big flops and you're hand is easily muckable post flop. But with suited connectors, unless you're raising them to steal blinds, you want to play them cheaply and in a multiway pot to get paid off huge. with the big pf raise he either has big AK AQ or a big pair. So you're like looking to hit trips or two pair on flop (2.2%).

4th hand: Q9d
You completed and got to see al the cards cheaply. Small pot, you can try to stab at it if you choose too. but seems more risk than reward on thes blinds.

5th hand: K5d
You again raised min pf (the bet doesn't look too threatening and you're on cutoff, so potential steal whcih is what you're doing). You hit middle pair on flop and continuation bet it, nh.

6th hand: A8o
You limped UTG with a weak ace. If you get any callers behind you you're probablyu looking at a bigger ace and if someoen raised to like 3x and you called and an ace flopped, you may get trappped for your whole stack. Opponents are not good enough to even suspect a LIMP RERAISE (feinting AA), so folding weak aces here look
good.

7th Hand: 27h
you see the flop for free, you miss the flop you get out cheaply. nothing wrong.

8th hand QJo
loose call getting 2:1 on pot odds, but this was for a small amount of chips and shows you'll defend the blinds. Just don't get into a habbit of calling alins with QJo.

9th hand JJ
You raised all in. For some reason you're opponent called with A8 (WTF was he thinking). Don't expect this play to work in the higher level ie $30 SNGs, unless they are total donks too. When you raise so big with this hand, you push other hands like TT 99 88 out of the pot and allow for hands like AA and KK to only call you in which case YOU'RE BEAT. Also looking like a tell, raising min with marginal and allin with premium.

10th hand A4s
You limped and called a big reraise (not sure if calling the raise was a good play,maybe raising pf would have been better and dishing out your cards if you're beat). He checks the flop, he may be trapping and caught you, but I doubt he has a big hand from hisbig raise (wanted to take down the pot pf). You can possibly bet smaller than 2K just in case he is trapping you so you can get away. I don't think you're opponent is tricky enough to bluff checkraise.

Ok you got to many hands, thought it was only one post, i will see what needs improvements
2c7c
You got tricky here and tried to raise a limper and to take down the pot pf (SQUEEZE play ish) but it backfired and blinds went all in. You're getting 2:1 on a bad hand. I muck it and hope they don't know what i'm smoking.

2c3c on SB folded to you.
You complete hoping for the miracle, I prefer you either folding or raising. This hand will get you no where post flop. if it does you're opponent probably has nothing then.

K7s on BB. You got to call cheap to see the flop. You hit top pair and checkraise him trying to maxmize value. But he calls you're all in tough luck

A4c on SB, I think you got the best hand and should have raised but you limped BB shot back and youfolded. I think one of them maybe on to your limp fold plan.

K8h 5 handed UTG+1. YOu limped and get KQx flop. I figure you may be trying to maximize but when you didn't shoot in a raise on turn I was at lost. I would ahav raised the flop, you're hand is still a big suspect and stacks aren't deep. try to take down the pot now.

What do you mean by weak rasies? What should I have bet in this instance?
choose too. but seems more risk than reward on thes blinds.

I bet 2x BB, should it have been 3x? 5x?

I'm glad you pointed out the limp-fold tell... I never really thought about it, but after reviewing it again, it sure looks like I do that consistently. So when should I limp and when should I raise?

Regarding bets, what should I bet w/ top ten hands preflop? I usually go 3xBB or so, is that too little?

I generally raise 3-4 BB, or don't raise at all.  Personally I don't vary my opening raise much, with my logic being it's difficult to tell a "big hand" raise from a "small pair" raise.

Thx for the tips.. I do have a starting hand book (phil hellmuths limit book), but his tips don't really apply to no limit games. Any recommendations?

Just do a forum search and you'll find lots of discussion on good books.  Personally, I've only read Super System and Dave Scharf's book so far, and plan on reading Harrington's next (if I can find it).

Actually, you only raised 1x BB (from 15 to 30).  In this case a standard raise (as I understand it) would have been 45 - 60 (meaning a total of 60 - 75).

do you realize 7-2 is a bad hand??? i mean, wtf are you doing??

take the advice given here, and go pick up a couple books on poker
