Hi Guest,

I did take a look of your late game. Payout structure info would have helped a bit to evaluate as it has impact to the play in some extent but this looks that you have same type of areas to improve as I do. So I am not gonna give recommendations what you should do but highlight so aspect which you should probably re-evaluate.

Good points are that you were fairly active early part of posted HH and overall you gave some respect to others raises with mediocre and even strong hands. I liked your AK shove and you played your good hands pretty strong.

As you played your good hands strong your weak area would be connectors suited or not. Villains have spotted that if you have it you will bet and if you have speculative hand you are tempted to limp/call and foes use this. So, you would think if you are going to fold or raise those or do something different but limp/call- fold is too expensive with those stacks.

Hand 29: I hate small pairs but that is just me. Your raise is OK but the call is difficult. If you call the best solutions is even flipping, worst 80/20 and there is just so many 80/20 options out there. If you would have been small stack it would have been standard shove. Now you are scarify you 2nd positions with worse of it. If you would be a gamble type it would be understandable that u take all your chances to aim to chip lead but your overall play don't support that view. You lost a lot of options to make plays with that hand. Kind of crucial.

Hand 71: What is the range of hands you put him on? He is shoving 15BB from utg so is he looking for a call? Most probably not. So mid pair+ and strong A's. So your view is important is he willing to shove with A9s+/A10o against 6 players who all can "bust" him. I would sure to call with QQ+ and AK. AQ/JJ is close but I would like to have some read support to validate the call.

Like I said I have same type of areas to work with. Overall your play is fairly good just need some work and it will go few steps further.
