Here are two hands from tonight in Stars $10+1 SNG 3-tables. Comments would be helpful as I'm pretty new to analysing my hands after a game is over.

Btw I'm having trouble getting the hand converter to work, any tips?

Hand 1:
My read on the player I am up against is very aggressive. The last 2 hands he was in he bluffed at in LP vs 1 other (I got to see his cards at showdown) and I have also seen him raise/CB in LP with trash like 97o vs a passive player. I haven't been playing many hands, this was probably my 2nd or 3rd VPIP and I felt that I would try to win a small pot before the blinds went up to 50/100 which was approaching soon.

From a pot odds point of view, I think I'm ~34% to win if I put him on an overpair but that's not counting if he's bluffing or has a 6. The pot is 1915 and it costs me 940 to call, so I need to win at least 44% to break even. Should I have pushed first? I don't think he'd lay it down since the was a blank. Now that I look back on it, I was trying to steal, and after my CB failed on the flop I probably should give up the pot unless given the right odds. Edit: I should have given up after the flop.

Hand 2:
8 handed, starting pot is 500. My M is 7. Folded to me at CO+1 where I pick up . Push?

I don't have a SNG Power Tool key but I can see now how it would be useful.

Hand one--I'd have no problem pushing all in with 15 outs. You have a better chance in this one that you may later on. To win a tournament, there's no getting around the fact you have to get lucky to win.

Hand two--I would limp and re-evaluate if raised.

Both of these are why it's gotten so much harder to play SNG's, now. 8 left with blinds of 100/200! They are now so weak/tight that you have to be much more aggressive and take more chances, imho. In Hand 2, you can take advantage of the weak/tight to see a flop cheap, if you can, and push on the flop, unless there is a raise, when you would depend on your read.

I haven't seen much out and out stealing in the last SNG's played. (Except by me)

1) Foid/ Or Shove preflop. Shoving is not really a good play so I would just fold.
2) A) Raise 4x bb and shove the flop no matter what flops. B) Fold Preflop.

I 10 table the 6`s at stars and use play A quite a large amount of time. Ussually it is when I have a smaller stack which after my raise leaves a decent amount left for which they have to call with. After playing probably 100 in the last couple days, it simply becomes a question of volume to succeed in these. Your optimum play is ussually justy to play really tight and pretty much fold everything and exploit the [AK vs KQ] edge which seems to occur in pretty much all of them.
