This is a HH review from my run in the Bigger $8.80 I sattyed in for $1.86 in order to keep in line with BRM plan which I have been really good about. Over 13,000 people entered and I ended up finishing in 62nd once again being so close to smashing my Bankroll Challenge. It was 14K+ for 1st. Definitely learning a ton from the videos and forum. Anyways here are the hands.
Lost a Big Pot with AK
When the river comes, all I can think is flush but I make the call anyways..do you guys ever call here or is this a clear fold…too many tables up no villian reads.

And in this hand, villain had been seen doing some fishy stuff, like limping UTG with not the greatest hands and such, so I figured I'd iso cbet take it down. Did I do anything wrong here? Or just get coolered?

I think I missed value here, I should probably just jam river right? Because I figure he has probably has Kx and the the times he does and calls makes up for the times he doesn't and folds.

In this one I try to steal light off the Button but we are getting decently deep now and pretty much everyone at my table is solid. So I feel I should be opening here because I am confident in my postflop game and get into a leveling situation. I raise and he 3bets, so if I fold here I make it known I am stealing light, so I feel I need to at least flat here and play a flop or I will be taken advantage of. So I call and he makes a cbet, from his point of view he has a LP raise and a flat to 3 bet now he is playing oop. I think he probably missed the flop, but the only way he can possibly win is to bet and he feels he has the advantage of taking the lead pre. So if I raise him here, it's gonna be pretty much impossible for him to continue floating with a bluff and I scoop up a nice pot with 5 high

Not really too sure on this hand either, all these guys at the table seemed really solid. Really TAGish.

I just looked at the first hand.
Not sure if this is any good, but when I see that flop I know I am not folding unless he raises me early. I would bet kinda big like 480 on the flop expecting him to call with a ton of draws, pair plus draws, and a few hands that I am behind (many of these I would expect to raise my c-bet). Then I would overshove the turn expecting to get called by made hands that put me on a draw or draws that cant let it go.
The only way I am getting away from this is if he raises me less than all in on the flop. That looks super strong. I may be able to fold to a flop shove because I am not doing that well against his made hands and strongest draws.
Once he flats the flop instead of choosing to protect his hand with a raise, I am getting the chips in on the turn. With a board that wet, I am charging him the max to see the river card.

The hand with J5s I’m never getting involved. V awkward hand oop. We have around 100 bb no need.
I’ve noticed with these limpers that they rarely fold marginal one/mid pair type hands or draws. If they have the nuts they usually let you know by getting it in. Great candidates for value betting terrible candidates for bluffing IMO. Good news is you can usually pot control by checking in position or betting small oop just control the action.

Just some quick thoughts, as there are a lot of hands here.
Hand 1 – I think he is always showing up with KQ, 99 or flush here. As loxii said, play it a bit faster on earlier streets.
Hand 2 – Don't play this crap with 100BB. While his limp with JT suited is actually a pretty big mistake, he gets you to make a bigger one by playing J5suited OOP. I don't really want to discuss what we should have done as played, because we shouldn't play it.
Hand 3 – Shove river. Anything he's calling a bet worth half his stack with, he calls his entire stack with. Also makes it look like you missed a draw and he may call off even lighter than a K. Maybe. I would probably bet turn a bit more, so river shove isn't as “big”.
Hand 4 – WP. I like it… my only question is, how much do you puke when he shoves? You can't really fold after that raise. This is also a great way to keep players at the table in line… It's basically saying “I steal your blinds, this is how it works, so don't get fancy with me.”
Hand 5 – As played, it's really tough to decide without knowing game factors. I have a very hard time giving him credit for a Q here. Who 3 bets AQ or KQ and then check raises that flop? The Check raise is usually only getting called by hands that crush it(sets, and slow played AA/KK). It's possible he does this with a set, and that actually kind of makes sense, but that's repping a VERY narrow range. Basically QQ, because if he's 3 betting 22/33 he's not TAG. He's bad. Given all that, he has way more air in his range at this point than hands that are going to beat you. It's a good line to take vs randoms, because they won't be able to pick this off. As played, I think I'm shoving on him. He is pretty much commited to calling though.
However, I check back this flop 85% of the time. He 3 bet. It's very strange for a player to 3 bet pre, and then Check OOP. They can't gain any info about other players hand, and ranges don't change. We can make a better decision on turn.
Bust Out Hand – Seems pretty standard. Sad that KK is behind you. You could make a case for using and induce sized raise, but I think shoving is perfectly rational and the line most people would take here.

Hand 1 – I agree shoulda played that wet flop a little faster.
Hand 2 – Yeah, I kinda regretted my fishyness after I did that.
Hand 3 – I figured that after the hand was over too, definitely missed value.
Hand 4- Tyty, I more just posted that because I was proud of my leveling there, watching all the videos is definitely improving me by leaps and bounds.
Hand 5- That was a super tough spot for me, I really had trouble giving him credit for a Q it really stumped me in game so I thought for a long time and ended up just folding.
Hand 6 – I def agree, that is a super standard spot, original raiser is solid and is folding a ton. The flatter is a huge fish who stacked another solid player about an orbit ago with A6 vs AK on a A high flop turned a 6 and thought he was the best player ever so he is definitely calling with worse. Sucks that BB woke up with KK but this is for sure a good spot, and I am glad I took it and played aggressively and plus EV even though I was so deep and coming up on some major money.
Thanks for the reviews on the hands guys
