hand 1 is standard - min-raise from EP can mean monster, and it apparently does when villain goes over the top like that.hand 2 is very close - it'd be a call if you were getting 2-1. Evaluating what is a good but not ideal scenario, a dominated ace for the button and two overcards for the CO (K-J, say), your equity's 38%. Significant enough to call if they both had you covered. That makes a call justifiable here, too, by getting 38% on your money, but it's close enough that either action's correct.This close to the money I err on the side of caution and fold.

Meh, first hand its better to fold. Just not alot of hands you have dominated here, so IMO good fold. However, I flat call JJ in that spot. 2nd hand seems standard.What happened to limit HE actuary?

What happened to limit HE actuary?

the honest answer:I was at risk of letting it take over.Not that I played a ton, but it's so fascinating to me..I wanted to get better - beyond SSHE so I could have the confidence to play 5/10 like my BR supports; however, I need to spend more time with my wife, and do a better job at work..and balance in general. I had my first LHE down month in March (or April?) and decided to get back to SnG's, which had cost me a little money early when I knew nothing. They've been so much fun, pretty profitable, and fairly stable income, that I'm sticking with them. I imagine a day down the road where I get back into Limit and take my game to the next level; but for now, low stress SnG's are the ticket

too much stress!I hate losing $100 in one pot.I'm certain that's a weakness in my game, so SnG's help by limiting the loss

Ye, but you can also win 100 in a pot lol. Without having to sidestep 8 limpers.

Both are excellent folds.I call or fold the first hand early. But you played it fine as well.I also like your plan on the second hand. Those blinds are getting big for 6-handed. Nice discipline folding the TT.-M

Bet you wish you would have just smooth-called in the first hand, eh?? :)I like the TT fold, good discipline. They most likely share at least one over card, but you're still not getting the best of it in a 3-way pot.

um if they do share an over like say AQ and AK we would want to get involved. We have better then 33% equity if these are the hands that we put them on.But since we can't and we have to put them on a range of hands, I like the fold here

nah.I'll play it both ways, I'm ok with this.Prefer this in fact
