Duno how much of a dog i was there, but i let out a semi stifled YEEEEAHHH when i saw the river heart. I don't feel too bad for the other guy, he was raising with junk.


All in with 5's stole blinds.

Chip count - a healthier 2195, 391st out of 542.

I know im not safe yet, itll be a good while till i am. blind 1/200 in 7 mins.

Little blip.. Called sb with K3, put out a 200 bet, got the first guy out but 2nd short stack went all in, had to fold. K3 = bad call. ill remember that. lol.

Your current position is 403 out of 491. Greeeat.
Money starts at 243, looks liek that might be my goal if the cards stay cold. ive had a horrible streak of losses and bad luck so anytihng id appreciate.

Blinds jsut went up on my BB, as usual.

Just picked up 400 in blinds, A6 offsuit, another short stack dug into about 15 seconds of his timebank before tossin it, i showed. Hopefully he tilts, maybe ill make a profit.

Your current position is 363 out of 446, looks like if i can hold out for another... half hour id say, i could cash. Thats asking alot tho.

Well.. thats how it seems to be going for me lately. Oh well. Thats the game. Leave feedback etc.

I think you were too reckless with poor hands in a low-buyin tournament.

I don't fault your short stack moves. They weren't much of a mistake if your cards are live. I hate pushing AJ when healthy though.

Don't really feel that 1800 with 100/200 blinds is "healthy"

M is only 6 and if you don't make a move and double up soon, you could be in trouble. Yes, 1800 isn't BAD, but I don't view it as terribly great. A raise to 500-600 would be fine and I'm probably willing to call a push. He most likely would have flat called and you get away from the hand on the flop and make another move in a few hands (once you get a nice PP or Ax). Try and pick up a few blinds and you'll be back in it.

He had no position to push here i feel, UTG+2. Chances are he could have road the nextorbit of blinds and still been at 1500 chips, and maybe make a stronger play from the other side of the button. You're small stack at the table and they expect you to push any decent two. Anyone with a decent hand will try as well. Villian was a little desperate himself I'm sure and figured he had a fair hand as well. you did get in with the better hand but your looking to double up not go bust at this time. your only in the second hour and people are still dropping like flies. I'd try to be a bit more patient, if you feel you are in push/fold mode you have time. 1200, 1500, 1800 is all the same 1.5 hours in at level6. You need to double up more than once in the next half hour or so anyway. Pick your spot more carefully.

Thanks, read all the info carefully n ive absorbed it.

I can understand what was said about me picking my spot with the AJ, but the table had been calling allins with mid suited connectors and i was willing to take a chance with my AJ clubs to give me a shot at contneding with the bigger stacks.

Tourney was more valuable as a learning instrument tho, I've just read HOH1 and tried using those tactics, felt like i played a decent tourney n have to work on the focus a bit.
