    Thanks! Fjuanl: your side note is good, those are the kind of situations that I often fail to notice. Good to know that it seems I'm doing something right..
  2. $7,70 180-man turbo final table for review/comments

    Hi,
    can I get some comments for these hands?

    I came into the FT as chip leader, and went out 5th.. so it didn't quite go as I would have liked. Spot any mistakes?

    Hmmm.. dr, what chart is this?
    Yeah, the play was pretty tight at this point, SB just happened to wake up with AK here.
    Anyway I'm happy, a good score :)
  4. To shove or not to shove? 7BB left, 5 of 1357 left.

    Shove this? this is 2,20 rebuy.
    5th pays 500, 4th around 700. The too villains have been quite tight.

    8,80 6-max turbo @ stars

    We're itm at this point, about 50 left. I think this was 500 entrants capped tourney. I've been aggressive throughout, raising almost atc from LP, if called then taking it down by cbets or double...

    an unclear scenario about finish positions

    Ok, I don't have HH here, but sg like this:

    Hero (UTG) 1200
    BU 1500
    SB 6k
    BB the rest

    Hero has 66, hero shoves. BU Calls. SB calls both.
    BU has 33, SB AT.
    A flops, SB wins, hero and BU...

    Kings, daily 30k@stars

    Villain is 32/11 after 52 hands, fwiw. How would you play this?
    Looking at it now, my bet sizes are ridiculous.. don't know what I was thinking.

    He could do this with a worse A, another AK, or any T or a boat etc.. But I would call, you've already put in about half of your stack. I wouldn't fold there, especially that it's the first hand. I'd...
  9. JJ almost on the bubble, 45-man turbo (6,50)

    Ok, I'm wondering about this hand. This is at FT, 9 left, it pays 7. My M is quite low, but so it is for a lot of others too.
    UTG had been tight, and with his stack size, a raise instead of shove...

    That's what I thought too, I'm doing quite well against his range to do this. Guess he was just lucky to be holding AQ :(
    Not sure about antes, but I think the converter shows them if they are there.

    is BB restealing? 45-man, 6,50.

    Villain is running 13/10 after 150 hands, so he's quite a Tagg. But his 3b % from BB is 50. Couple orbits earlier I raised from BU with A8s, he shoved over, and I folded (possibly mistake).
    Now...

    I think folding here would have been silly, for the reasons drmcboy said: he'd play a lot of hands we beat like this, any T, AK, 78 etc.. but now when I look at it I think best would have been just...
  13. BB special: backdoor flush on a paired board

    Two questions: is it just silly to try to draw on a paired board?
    And do you raise the river like I did, or just call his smallish bet keeping to pot small?

    A lot of people in these turbos...

    Yeah, of course I wasn't folding, and didn't fold. And now I realize shoving over on the flop would have been best. Villain called my bet with only a gutshot draw + A hi, and he got there at the...
  15. 27-man tourney, KK on the bubble. Scary turn..

    What would you do here? This is on the bubble of a 27-man regular tourney. 6 left, pays 5. I've been aggro lately, won previous 2 hands without showdowns. Villain is 22/10 over 128 hands.

    At these stacks, 9 people left is practically the bubble - 2 will be out very soon. And people don't necessary call wide, but seem to always call shoves with whatever A-rag they have - pushing...

    I'm used to playing regulars, but now lately as an experiment got into turbos. I ended up 6th in this (pays 7). any comments on these few hands, plus the hands I folded pre?

  20. Hand from a live tourney with ridiculous structure

    I was playing in this live tourney at our local casino, where you'd start with 300 chips, and the first blind level was 5/10, after that 10/20, 20/40 and so on.. 20min levels, so it's really a...

    use two decks!

    Thanks, I thought my play was correct. The flop bet was of course to take the pot down right there, and of course I called after villains shove.

    No, for sure he hadn't been 3-betting a lot.. he had played quite a few hands aggressively lately, and those that went to showdown he had good starting hands (maybe he was running hot).

    One thing that's worked for me on these same tourneys: put pressure on the smaller stacks. Steal their blinds.
