Poker Stars, $0.45 Buy-in (10/20 blinds) No Limit Hold'em Tournament, 9 Players
Poker Tools Powered By Holdem Manager - The Ultimate Poker Software Suite.

Hero (BTN): 1,500 (75 bb)
SB: 1,500 (75 bb)
BB: 1,500 (75 bb)
UTG+1: 1,500 (75 bb)
UTG+2: 1,500 (75 bb)
MP1: 1,500 (75 bb)
MP2: 1,500 (75 bb)
MP3: 1,500 (75 bb)
CO: 1,500 (75 bb)

Preflop: Hero is BTN with K A
UTG+1 raises to 40, 2 folds, MP2 calls 40, MP3 folds, CO calls 40, Hero raises to 200, SB folds, BB calls 180, UTG+1 raises to 1,500 and is all-in, 2 folds, Hero calls 1,300 and is all-in, BB calls 1,300 and is all-in

Flop: (4,590) 3 T Q (3 players, 3 are all-in)
Turn: (4,590) A (3 players, 3 are all-in)
River: (4,590) 8 (3 players, 3 are all-in)

Results:

I asked myself the same thing in a similar situation yesterday, in a $ .50, 45 man. Instinctually, the answer was NO.

QQ - AA only would I stack off with pre-flop in beginning rounds, precisely because people playing these are idiots, so I want to have a made hand in this situation.

This response is probably way results oriented. I'm tired of raising to 200-300 over limpers and getting all-in 3-way with AK, losing the flip and a BI right away.

Anybody with the Maths on this??

I don't play SNG but the pot is 600, and he bets 100 , a pot size bet is 900, why are you betting 350? to induce a raise? in this case call obv? otherwise bet bigger and commit yourself?

because the board is not drawy, and want to have value, a lot of fish will call also to see the turn in this tournaments i think.

But i think i have to commit myself and bet bigger yes

do somebody know where i can find my ev from my tournaments. Wanna know if i run bad or play bad

lost already 10 from my 20 euro, but realy think i had a a lot bad beats here

i won my first 0,50 sng 45 mans after 33 sng's , not bad ♦

and the second one i won.....i run good now i think it was just variance and to much tables

always nice to win whit a Royal Flush ♠_cool:

Limit-------bankroll-----------------Shots
0,5-------- 0-100$----------------- 100$ 20 buy-in shot op de 1,5$
1,5-------- 100-400$-------------- 400$ 50 shots op de 3,50
3,5-------- 400-1200$------------ 1200$ 50 shots op de 7$

Results for now after 62 games, 0.50 sng's 45mans

didnt run that good, but i think its easier than cashgames, less tilting, dont gamble whit tournaments because i dont wanna get out

The AA hand Rik was playing 4 handed has 63% equity as opposed to 86% for heads up.

AK you have 65% equity two handed but it drops to 48% three handed.

So you really end up just flipping. Remember poker is a game where you can factor most of the gambling out.

Will shortly post my GREATEST FOLD.

i think 20%+ is just normal en ok i think that ist is possible to have 40-45%.
I have read some response from people and my advice to you is that you take it with a grain of salt.

AK is an easy allin in a 0,50 you are nearly always ahead.
What people say like you have 48% 3-way (i do not now if that is correct but it is possible) the say you are flipping but you are not in 1/2 you have trippled your stack and not doubled not rally flipping and reaaly +EV . (if you do not look to the rake you win 1 buy-in only with that 1 allin what is huge.)

good luck (and stay with the BRM!) ( pretty good BRM ♦ )

soory for saying but this is horrible bad play

go allin preflop why do you cal is so bad.
folding postflop is really bad with that big of a pot and it is really unlikely that anyone hit the K.
