You gotta be joking me! This has to be a ****ing joke!!!!

Are you really asking for general advice over 48 hands?!

There is no freaking way I would ever do this for someone randomly. Clean this crap up and put hands that you only actively engaged in, or times you had a decision to make about folding.

This is absolutely freaking absurd. Honestly?! I mean... this really has to be a joke. You really didn't just post 48 hands on here with no commentary or specific questions did you!?

Wait... what time is it? 3:46AM for me... maybe I'm dillusional and have no idea what I'm looking at.

Nope, it still looks the same to me. Please oh freaking please tell me this was a joke. If anyone is going to analyze this... it's going to be ridiculous....
"1. Good fold, you should always fold 84o UTG
2. Good fold, you should.....
....
43. Good fold, 75o UTG isn't a great hand to play"

Lol... please tell me this was a joke.

[travz21]

The hand you won, you shouldn't have even played and played it poorly. The hand you lost, you played poorly.

How does that make you feel?

[baggeddakota]

there is that what im supposed to do? i didnt know i had to ONLY post my play hands although that makes sense now. i just copy and pasted everything from the analyzer.

look im sorry. im new to this whole online thing. ive played live poker for a little bit but all this online new shit. im just trying to learn as much as i can soak up and play solid...

[liladypokerpro]

dakota, don't take anything said to heart. The guys are just feeling you out, being new and all. Consider it an initiation, of sorts LOL Mainly what they're getting at is that your sample size was way too small for anyone to be of any help, and besides that we have no general information about you or your opponents, which makes it also near impossible to offer any kind of solid advice. If you post an introduction thread introducing yourself as being new, and then offer detailed questions you'd like help with, you might get a better reception next time around.

[phaul]

LOL! Dew's post is absolutely hilarious! Did it really show 48 hands?

baggeddakota, your OP is now fine, although still quite a few hands to deal with.

Hand 23: Raise preflop to something like 175/200
Hand 28: Turn bet is bad, can you explain what you're trying to achieve with this bet (genuinely, not being sarcastic)?
Hand 36: Seems fine, although I'm not sure how loose they'd bet at those stakes.
Hand 38: Fold pre.
Hand 45: Action is obv fine, stacking off here every single time, but not a fan of your bet sizing, should be a bit bigger, maybe 750 pre and, as played, maybe 1000 into 1400. Although an argument could be made for your bet sizes. Idk, you could also make an argument for checking the flop to induce calls from good aces (as you're not worried about pot-building to get your stack in). Basically, just make sure you get your stack in.
Hand 48: Don't ever fold here. Ever.

[C8H10N4O2]

Yeah it really showed 48 full hands. It's a bit better to deal with now. As for what lillady said, yes this sample size is hard to deal with on two levels. Wanting detailed help over 48 hands that include "fold, fold, fold" is a little ridiculous... but at the same time, expecting one sample size of 48 to radically change your game is unlikely as well.
Are you using tracking software?

[HeyKidMove]

Hand 23: Raise it up pre. As played, don't bet into 2 other people on a bad flop for you.
Hand 28: I like the turn bet to either get a fold, or value from a K.
Hand 36: Looks good.
Hand 38: Either raise or fold that pre. As played I don't like the call on the turn.
Hand 45: Raise more pre, to at least 800, I probably just shove there. As played you have to get it in.
Hand 48: Have to call.

[phaul]

Hand 28: I like the turn bet to either get a fold, or value from a K.

My initial reaction was that you're just owning yourself by betting, but I guess he hardly ever has a better hand here, so betting for value from a K/hand protection is OK. But then I think you should make it smaller, like 1/2 pot or s/th - I don't think many people will call a PSB with K-hi there.

[HeyKidMove]

I agree that the bet should have been smaller. I didn't notice that it was a PSB, probably should be 100ish.

[baggeddakota]

Thank you everyone for putting up with me.
sorry i wasn't sure i only had to put up hands i was involved in.

what im trying to achieve here is just a solid SNG strategy. Thats all i am really interested in playing. no i do not have any hand analysis sw. which ones do you guys recommend (that arent expensive)

also. during a 9 handed sng do you guys usually just wait around for a good starting hand? There has been times ive waited almost until being blinded out (bad run of cards?) and have been forced to shove with any Ax.....

how do you guys play low limit 9 top sng? (if thats not a secret)

thanks again.
