you will always make bigger profit by opening aces... look at this case you open to 60, shortie with JJ shoves... there is bigger chance for someone to call that shove because his shoving range is wider than yours and its less chips, so you could pick up another call or even raise there...open shoving is just waste of good cards... they will not call you with some random cards... ok its micro and maybe they will call with some medium strong hands, but you have to pray that someone behind you have decent hand

If poker cards would come random, it would be something but these cards do not come in that way. I know from the safe source that these poker cards have been arranged in software by the best mathematicians in the world. Because of this it happens and this is not correct.

That was a bad outcome At least you didnt lose all your stack. Everything gets cracked at some point even the aces. I am going all in preflop with them in a tournament also, and whatever comes up.
for the last time I see the second post from you with your distribution .... will you now do this regularly? ... Of course it's interesting sometimes to see the distribution in some games but ..... I have nothing against this but all the same .... or is it another way without much hesitation to get 10 points?

Your pocket Aces got cracked by your opponent's pocket Jacks, which was unfortunate indeed, but you didn't lose your entire stack. Sometimes it's so hard to flush sh*t down the toilet, isn't it? Don't you hate that disgusting smell lurking around?

Everyone knows how the world of microphones works. Do you think you are the first to upload these types of hands? I would have played it differently, maybe open to 5-6 BB. Of course, even player 8 would never have folded, considering his stack. Anyway, I do not see it so badly played at hand. It's like you say, sometimes they pay with anything (like AJs, right?). Looking at the good side, you could have lost much more if player 8 was deep.

KK vs J3o - Limping from button with a crappy hand, cold calling your raise preflop. and miniraising on the flop. I guess these are common traits of weak and inexperienced players. I doubt the Player 1 is a winning tournament player.

Keep in mind that it is a Spin and go, $ 0.25. It's practically a freeroll. And one player has already been eliminated, that is, we are in heads up. J3 is a bad hand, but in a heads up, one widens its ranks. I see it pretty standard. But I say it because of the type of tournament, because of the buy in that it is about. I do not know how much the prize was, but I guess it was $ 0.50 which is the most frequent.

when you say about spin & go and with low bets like 0,25,then ofcourse that there will be lots of donks who will try on anything!but on bigger stack you dont know what can you expect,because todays poker its just not poker like we know it!

Dude, no hard feelings or anything but sooner or later everybody have to leave this 'pennies 4 cents' level of poker otherwise you are going to be stuck here the rest of your playing carrier. Even if you play recreationally like I do it's hard to justify not stepping up after a while.

Yes, I know, but in this case it was a spin n go of 0.25, as you can see. Clearly if it was a spin n go of a buy in high, then it would be more abnormal to see that kind of moves. But a J3 in one of 0.25, is quite normal. In those tournaments, because if the prize is only 0.50, there are many players who directly go all in on the first hand, regardless of the hand they have.

I rarely play hyper-turbo tournaments. Spin & Go or whatever it is called is by far my least favorite tournament format. There are just way too many sickening and horrific runouts. And that usually ruins my good mood.

Well, I do not like them either. Besides being hyper turbo, they are initial stacks of 500. I only play them in case there is some good promotion. People want money fast and think that this is the solution, when in fact they lose money fast if they do not know how to play these types of tournaments. I'm not saying there are not people who make a good profit, but there are more ups and downs than in other types of tournaments.
At least you didnt lose all your stack.
