So a recent leak of mine is trying to min-raise with sub-20bb stacks. It's arguable that it isn't a problem when you're 15-20bb deep, but I'm pretty sure it's just best to shove here. I don't have a big enough stack to play post flop effectively and I'm letting in worse hands to see the flop. Also I don't think this is a fold, we have 11bb and the blinds are coming in 1 hand. Icmizer says this is a shove fwiw.
It's pretty devastating to be min-raising A9s here, and it certainly cost us our tournament life here. If we get raised, do we fold? That would be pretty awful. If we get called, we're committed on the flop anyway.

HAND REVIEW: QQ facing a 5bet shove
http://www.pokerhandreplays.com/view.php/id/6866591
- villain is playing 20/17/11 over 87 hands.
- we are 10 away from the money, (I'm 10/80, 70 get paid)
------
So at first I thought this hand was an unavoidable cooler, but I'm pretty sure it's a mistake now.
A friend's thoughts:
- by 4betting, we are folding out the hands in his range that we beat (AJ,AQ, JJ, TT) and we're committing ourselves against a 3% range. Keep in mind that there is 50bb effective.
Hands I think he might 3bet with:
99+, AJs+, AQo+
Hands he 5bet shoves:
QQ+, AKo+
I'm not even sure that he 5bet shoves AK for 50bb, but even against QQ+, AKo, we are 40%.
- also, 4bet folding here is obviously out of the question because we'd reduce our hand to 72o. We should've called the 3bet and kept his range wide postflop.

HAND REVIEW: 2xing utg w/ 10bb (mistake)
http://www.pokerhandreplays.com/view.php/id/6858126
This is definitely a mistake I've been doing too frequently recently. I've been experimenting with playing sub-20bb stacks, and this hand kind of illustrates the problem. By not shoving, we make mistakes by letting hands we are vulnerable to see the flop and essentially play perfectly against us. After we cbet the flop (which we should imo), we are priced in to call anyway. So they could continue on flops they hit well or just fold if they don't catch anything. If we could fold flop this play becomes good, which is obviously why we don't shove 25bb+ here.

Hand review: mistake with 66?
http://www.pokerhandreplays.com/view.php/id/6846940
Really I have no idea why I value bet the river.
1) I was never going to get called by worse (ie. K5?)
2) Do I get better hands to fold? I suppose a 7 might fold, any 8 is unlikely to fold because of the A-A runout. Still way to thin to bet the river I think. Obviously I didn't expect him to limp 99 preflop though.
