Isolating The Shortstack $20 Sng


Recommended Posts

$20 SNG Many limpers, so i attempted to isolate with the short stack (hoping he would push all in, which he does), losing to him would not kill me, but than someone else calls me. What could UTG+1 be holding with his action, very weird.Did i play this correctly ?PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t20 (9 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FlopTurnRiver)Button (t1310)Hero (t1550)BB (t1450)UTG (t1630)UTG+1 (t1400)MP1 (t1520)MP2 (t2570)MP3 (t1590)CO (t480)Preflop: Hero is SB with 8spade.gif, 8heart.gif. 1 fold, UTG+1 calls t20, MP1 calls t20, 1 fold, MP3 calls t20, CO calls t20, 1 fold, Hero raises to t100, 1 fold, UTG+1 calls t80, MP1 folds, MP3 calls t80, CO raises to t480, Hero raises to t1550, UTG+1 calls t1300 (All-In), MP3 folds.Flop: (t3570) 9diamond.gif, Tclub.gif, Aspade.gif(3 players, 1 all-in)Turn: (t3570) 6spade.gif(3 players, 1 all-in)River: (t3570) 3diamond.gif(3 players, 1 all-in)Final Pot: t3570

Its too early in the SnG to say, since he could just be a bad player. I would be expecting either high cards or an over pair but very rarely an underpair. Because of the initial limp I think it's likely to be 99 or TT maybe AQ.I dont think there's a need to isolate since what kind of player who limped is then going to call the short stack shove, oh and given that you called as well. Probably only someone who has you beat.

Rayz moar. Mayk eet 200. Or just complete. I don't think you can rely on CO to shove often enough to make the small raise correct.As played, I shove to the CO's raise as well to maximise fold equity.
