Cheers , How would I find the hand id ...on game history , all I seem to be able to find next to each hand is for instance the number I posted ?
JA
J3102A
9502.50
BLUESTONES won 21105.00 with a Straight to the Ace
May need to add suits in as dont always copy over
Crikey , It wasn't always this difficult was it? Weren't you able to just click the hand number and it opened up the play from flop through ?
Think this is prob beyond my tech ability today , shame cos I would have liked an opinion on it .
Send for @mumsie, he may be able to help.
Ok so just after the 2nd break in the mini , going along fairly steadily , think I was 35th of 90 odd left . Probably didn't need to push like this in that particular spot ?
Critiques/slatings welcome.
Oh bit of background , thought the villain was playing quite loose and had lost quite a few chips just prior to that hand , If I am recalling correctly .
Well I don't think K-Q suited man is ever folding, but imo we must always raise it up pre with A-J there. Not sure checking the flop is good either, think we have to bet, even though in this spot he's never going away.
If it makes you feel any better, (unlikely....) he put your chips to good use & eventually finished 2nd.
Pleased for his 2nd place though ..(through gritted teeth ) ...
Be interested to know on the flop what the percentages for both hands were ?
Not sure I agree with betting the flop @Tikay10 as the original raiser is still to act.
Turn depends on opponents really, generally I think get it in but can flat v some.
AsJh 53.13%
KcQc 46.87%
"....Be interested to know on the flop what the percentages for both hands were ?"
Pre-Flop you were 56% - 44%
Post Flop you were 53% - 47%
After the turn you were 70% - 30%

Listen , I know you guys are right about limping ...and I guess this is one of the problems with the few tournaments I play , I'm just not aggressive enough and overly concerned about protecting my chips .
The mtts I have won elsewhere normally follow a pattern of me limping into a cash position and then pushing the play .
Perhaps my whole rationale with playing MTT's is seriously flawed ?
Incidentally I very much appreciate the feedback
Ok so lets try to break this down, we have a 30bb stack and AJo UTG is a perfect raise candidate. Before we even raise we should have a plan for this hand.
30bb its hard to raise much higher than 2x - 2.2x - But it is almost always a raise.
The strength of AJ diminishes drastically if we get 3bet so I would generally player dependent have aj in the raise and fold category if we face a 3bet - especially as you have a tighter range (or should have) from under the gun.
Raising would also make kqs a call from position rather than a 3b - It would be easier for him to 3b if it was unsuited as it will fail to realise its equity more.
As played I am also checking behind because of the original raiser on the flop (but im not entirely sure I am even calling 4.6x preflop if I was to limp)
If we had raised and the kqs had flat called - we should be cbetting around 60 -80% of the pot and looking to put our opponents in on all good turn cards.
The turn is as good a card as possible and with the original raiser checking on a dangerous looking board we can be fairly confident we are ahead - Although he may occasionally show up with jj and 10 10 it is still hugely unlikely they would check that board even with flopped top sets because of all the diamond combos and KQ / AQ combos that both opponents could hold - so in short yes I believe its correct to get it in - But I do believe there are a few things as mentioned above that need to be fixed.
Sorry for any bad grammar but I hope this is still useful.

Think - Plan - and act.
Much like a good snooker player or chess player will think not just in the moment put a couple of moves ahead a good poker player should also - But with poker we should also be thinking back to other hands.
Not an easy skill to learn.
Best of luck
