Is strategy still part of this forum? i hope so, 2 hands, first one is from a $5 rebuy on party, big field, deep, but just shy of the money.
not a lot of stats on villian, only 44 hands, and so far its 23 / 2
im otb with :as:qs, blinds are 750/1500 i start w/ 57k, villian covers (65k).
Villian in question limps utg followed by another lp limp, i make it 5125 otb, bb and both limps call.
flop :qc:ad:7d (pot 22,500), checked to me i bet 9,999 (for the lulz), only villian in question calls (utg)
turn :3h (pot 42,500) i have exactly 42k behind.
i feel like i shouldnt just be ripping it in here for a full pot sized bet, seems like it would be too much, i come up with a bet of 17,555 into 42k, leaving 24k behind, he flats.
river :5d (pot 77,000) he jams...... i kind of puke, is he doing this with a flopped set of 7's? possible as its unlikely i would have a flussh here, not sure if hes really thinking that though, it really looks like a flush, A7? maybe worse aces.........
second hand is from a $20 turbo 6-max sng on the bubble (3 handed)
blinds are 150/300, i have 2700, villian has 6030, and other has 3200.
villian in question has been liberally abusing me, probably shoved from the sb, into my bb, what felt like 10x straight and i never had better then 9 high to defend with so he probably thinks im playing way to tight, waiting for AA, or AK.
the other villian, not in the hand has star power on SS and is a huge winning reg, our villian is probably a winning reg but havent seen much of him before.
with 169 hands logged hes 29 / 27, pretty active and hes doing a good job of owning the bubble building a stack.
He ships the button and i have :ah:5s in the sb, call or fold?
im also not really getting a lot of oppertunites to GII even with any 2, i believe my :ah is definitely ahead of his range, but should i be tighening up more considering its the bubble, i know if i do double here the other opponent is now much more likely to bubble and we were close to having even stacks.
2nd pays $43, 1st $65
thanks

1st hand, 24K to win over 100K? better than 4-1.. I don't think there is any way I find a fold here, just too much in the pot. I may have just shoved the turn tho... If he flopped set to your top two, cooler.. Fire up another one..
2nd hand, no real valuable comment as I don't play 6max sng's, but with your read tho, call. I prefer a shove but since you are getting no chance....

First hand really really bothered me, I mean, it looks soo much like a flush. I'm not really worried about trying to get away from a set. I'm ok losing to a cooler like that. Had a tough time with that one.
The 2nd hand, not as much, I deal with these similar situations in them quite freq but just not sure if I should be calling or folding in these spots.

Regardless of the price u are getting, online reads are still a very real thing
Just because u get 4-1 doesn't mean u just get it in and say on to the next one. I'd fold , get in the money and try and get deep . Cashing in any mtt is priority number 1, don't just punt it off even tho the price u are getting is very tempting.
Also, bad players in mtts like this aren't good enough to check flushes and potentially miss value, so that leads me to believe he donk shipped river with a stronger hand than you
Second hand is a snap call with any ace

If u played any sort of volume online, you would know the feeling .. that feeling where time bank is going down, and hand combinations race thru your mind, and a feeling comes over you , to call or fold
That's a read , a feeling.

You need to ship turn on the first hand. Its a punt as played, but you can't price people in like that this deep.

i make it 7500 to go pre flop, your bet seems too low, imo...then shove the turn

Raise 5x? Seems like a lot, I wouldn't want to raise this much if I was trying to isolate with a weaker hand like 10Js, 910s, etc, hands like this basically.
It's quite possible I'm not up against any big 'thinking' players, but I should be isolating the same amount with 10J or AQ.

First hand, with stacks, you need to shove turn.....as played I'm not folding too often, would need some stats on villain to say a fold is correct. I mean, ur not ahead a tonne, but probably 35% when considering some spewtards with shove random Ax hands there as well as hands that have us beat.
2nd hand you are fist pump snapping.

Thank you everyone so far, been a lot of really great replys.

I had typed out a long reply while multi-tasking as usual and playing online, but the bad poker software froze my laptop and I was forced to shut down my browser and lose my post. The short version is:
1) I would raise bigger preflop, flop & turn. As played, I would make the crying call since I think there is > 19.2% probability that my top two pair is better than his range.
2) Without making ICM calculations, my "gut feeling" :-[ is to call with an Ace against villain's wide range.

Not to be a nit, which I most definitely am, ;) isn't it 24k to win 101K, the committed amount in the pot that you can win with your 24K call?
19.2 means you are doing it as 24/125. I have heard others doing it the way you do it as well but have always felt that was wrong.
Sorry for the derail and I know it really doesn't change things in this case.

BF is correct in calculating the entire pot once you make the call. 24/125 roughly seems right.

first hand... you have set yourself up for a psb on the turn. Make him make a big mistake. shove.
second hand, I likely fold, but I am prob too tight. I just don't enjoy calling my stack off on bubble... Also, I wouldn't let him shove bvb 10 times in a row ;) Really this one is one for the HR calculator.
