Im just advanced-intermediate or something in poker, but since noone else answers and im bored i will analyze the hand.
No Limit Holdem – Heads Up – Sit N Go Tournament
HERO (BB): 1,160.00 VILLAIN (SB): 1,840.00
VILLAIN posts SB 10.00, HERO posts BB 20.00
Pre Flop: (30.00) HERO has Td Kh
VILLAIN raises to 60.00, HERO raises to 180.00, VILLAIN calls 120.00 --
You have 58BB he has 92 BB, you have a middle deep stack. If you create a big pot preflop you will be somewhat commited to any decent flop.
Your reraise is probably ok preflop, however I would probably just call because td kh has pretty strong hand equity preflop, and by reraising out of position preflop you are to a degree turning your hand into a bluff, because you will not connect with most flops. On the other hand, if you know your opponent, and you think most times he raises with garbage and calls a 3-bet with the same garbage than it is correct if you follow up with a shove on most flops.
Finally, your reraise preflop is somewhat smaller than conventional wisdom, you probably want to raise 4-5X out of position with this type of hand, maybe even more so that you can shove any flop you connect with. --- Flop: (360.00, 2 players) 9c 5d 3c HERO checks, VILLAIN bets 1,660.00 and is all-in, HERO calls 980.00 and is all-in
There is 18BB in the middle and you have 49BB. This means that it is an important pot, but you have enough chips left to get away from a bad flop. This is why i think it is better to either just call preflop and easily get away from a flop that doesn't connect or raise high enough that you will push any flop you connect with, even if it is only something like a gutshot and a couple of overcards.
Anyway you hardly connect, you only have 2 overcards and runner runner straight. Villaing goes all in for some crazy reason, the reason most likely being that he is a fish. I don't think you can call this however. If he has high cards they are probably higher than yours and then you are in bad shape, he has a underpairs you only have somethig like 3-1 or slightly better. I don't think he would have complete garbage which you dominate too often, but that depends on the player, but more often than not this will probably not be the case. Your pot odds is 49BB + 18BB / 49BB. I don't think you have quite that equity + against a fish it might be wiser to try to trap him with a real hand later in the session.
