    Default Time for a break......

    $5 Sit-and-Gos are really giving me the shits this afternoon. I have
    stopped playing now because I was starting to tilt, but I would like your advice on these hands. I know I could have played them better.

    This first hand was quite early in the tourney against a guy that was
    short-stacked. He was a loose passive player. I was hoping that my
    PF raise would lead him to go all-in. That didn't work. I checked his sharkscope after the hand and he was about -$500, so at least that was comforting.

    I'm thinking I should have re-raised him PF to define my hand. Otherwise I should have
    pushed all-in on the flop??????

    the first hand you played fine, donkeys chase and sometimes they hit blah blah blah that's poker.

    the second hand is kinda ugly though. if MP1 has been playing an at all tight game, i fold preflop. if i have noticed that he is opening quite a few pots, i push. as played, your move on the flop is pretty donktastic. a c/r is good, but you pretty much minraise which gives him great odds to chase his flush card. i recommend check raising that mofo all up ins.

    Yeah i realise now that that raise was no good.

    I just read Harrington on Holdem this week and I'm slowly learning
    about pot odds. After my raise on the flop, he was getting about 4 to 1
    on his money to call the raise, and his chance of making the flush was
    about 4.25:1 so he was getting the odds to call.

    Grrrr hindsight is a bitch!
