    Default Need STT help!

    I'm busting way too many lately, wondering what's going on.

    Below's a copy of the last one, there wasn't much postflop play (from me) so maybe some STT players could look over it & tell me if they'd play any of those hands I folded? (Note there was usually someone in the pot before me, so if you'd play a particular hand I will look up what happened exactly)

    Possible- There was a limper in front of me however. Would you still recommend a raise?

    Those were probably the steals? No one had opened those pots.

    I looked at a few of the hands you were stealing with... Q2o? I usually prefer that the hand has a little hope of holding up if someone decides to call. Basically, you will see me trying to steal with any ace, any king, Q down to 9 and possibly 8, any suited, any 2 gap connector or better. Of course, if you were getting no resistance, then steal with anything.
    I study at KRE8R's School of Bankroll Management.

    If you IM me looking for money or a trade, you will be blocked.

    Dont forget to look at the blinds on the left- my effective M was about 2-3 here.

    How many players were left for the last few hands (when you started open pushing)? How big were the stacks between you and ITM?
    Going card dead in these turbos is a perfect excuse to just play for 3rd place, and go from there. If there are 2 big stacks and the rest similarly shortstacked on the bubble, you can exercise a little patience with your pushes. Try to pressure the other shorties and stay away from the sheriffs unless you have a good hand. If there are 3 big stacks and you need to double and then some to make the money, then open pushing any 2 is a fine move.

    I didn't see any glaring missed opportunities. This shit happens in turbos. Been happening a lot to me lately.

    Still 5 players (see 2nd column)

    I was the shortest stack, and according to SNGPT it was +EV against all but the loosest opponents (22+ etc.). Someone called with AJo, so this would not make my assumption incorrect- if he had called with K2o it would be -EV in retrospect.
