1st hand: shove is ok, a5s is a shove their I feel. 7bbs isn't ideal but it happens, especially In turbos.

2nd hand is a shove as well at those blind levels.

3rd, q9s, I'm a bit unsure myself, I could see myself folding here, with the stacks behind you are getting called more, and just about always behind, but I might be wrong.

4th, I'm folding, 12bb doesn't seem like heaps, but in these 45m turbos you are doing well enough to fold this QJo from mid pos.

Last hand is a clear shove.

Bigdog does a series on 45 man turbos and makes some good points about being able to fold even when there is a slightly +EV spot, probably like your qj and q9 situations.

Sorry i havent reported in lately, ive been really busy.

Basically Ive made a switch to 0.5c 45man turbos, because I was finding that I wasnt able to find the time to play standard (particularly because my gf wouldnt let me of the leash lol). So after sharkscoping myself, ive played 40 turbos and i am down $10.51 avg ROI is 53.6%. So yeah i am certainly feeling very crushed and demoralised. But i know that you need 400 games+ to iron out variance so im going to stick with it and hangin there, with hopefully as much support as i can get from you guys (thanks all!).

Ive watched and rewatched a "MTT Math" and Short stack boot camp on TPE aswell as the series on Tubro MTTs, in order to work on my shortstack play, ive got a copy of the spreadsheet to review some spots to see if they are +EV. Can anyone recommend a video/article that would help me to narrow PREFLOP hand ranges of villians for turbo short stack play? - or to help me translate HM2 stats into villian calling/shoving ranges? - i really need to work on this to get a bit more reliability out of my spreasheet calculations.

Also does anyone know how to use previously collected data on opponents in current tournaments with HM2? - at the moment each time I play a tournament the number of hands resets to 0, but there are some players that I have played with before that I know i have data on already that id like to use in this tournament, any ideas how to turn this on? - Also do you guys think that it is a good idea to turn this feature on?

Here is a few hands that I played today, im very keen on getting peoples ideas:

Tourny 1:
.....id/4807921
Is this a shove? - ive got 7bbs so i figured it was ok, but perhaps I should have never let my stack get to 7bbs in this position? A few orbits ealier I had this hand: .....id/4807922 Im thinking that this is a clear shove that I missed.

Tourny 2:
.....id/4807923

Tourny 3:
.....id/4807925
I know I was always getting smashed by the aces here, but is it a good shove spot?

Tourny 4:
.....id/4807926

Thanks for the your help.

One thing I will say I have adjusted for playing these, Don't freak out about being short stacked and shove too light in bad spots, in some cases 10-13 bb stacks are actually doing relatively well, I found tightening my shoving range in these spots worked really well for me,as I was constantly getting caught out, so I'd recommend playing with shifting your 20bb, 15bb rules a few bb lighter, if that makes sense..

I agree that the KJs is probably a fold pre, but when opened you need to barrel the turn.

Thanks for the posts Nqon, I think i definatly should have played more agg with the TT and the KJ, I hope i can learn my lesson for the next games.

KJ hand - fold pre at this blind level, your out of position (early pos) and will get flatted alot and get in difficult spots. I know it looks like a strong hand but you dont want to blow 1/3 of ur stack playing post flop with it.

TT - I'd 3 bet jam i think, the UTG limp is rarely a trapping monster more likey a fish speculating, and the BTN iso raising.

HI Badabing78, I checked out the link. Do you think the same theory applies to standard as well as turbos?

i rarely play em so i'm not sure whaz the exact right strat in those

but it cant be wrong to play the early phase tightish and agg up when it counts and to play for the win on the ft like its mentioned in the article.

the KJ hand tbh i wouldnt open in this situation there, maybe im a lil nitty but it just gets complicated so often

Two interesting hands:

.....id/4779418

Was this hand a shove from the small blind instead of a raise? - in the end my raise was called by K9s? - maybe i should have 4x? I wasnt keen on shoving as I thought my stack was large enough to not have to take these kind of risks just yet. What do u guys think?

and

.....id/4779419

I think in this hand I didnt c-bet high enough with my flush draw/straight draw. i think something 333 would have been much better than the gutlesss 150 i threw out. I put villan on AJ+, felt kind of sure that that he had the Ace, but then again his stats are a bit loose....What do you guys think?

All my shoves in the three games where good according to SNG wizard, just didnt manage to get over the line.

Looking forward to getting into a few games today. Thanks for your help guys.
