Default Re: The Freakonomics of Tournaments: A Preview (74s UTG at final table

You definetly have made a case for your move. I think the best part about it- is how it will benefit your table image.

This hand resulted in u showing down an UTG raise with the weakest raising hand in your range. You said you're raising with about 33% of hands PF- so I would think 47s is at the bottom of this range. Your future raises will no longer get any respect, so when you do hit a something reasonable AJ+ or 88+, you're very likely to get paid off.

Regardless of the results of your 47s move, it was a borderline +EV move, and whether you won it or lost it, everyone on the table has seen you play 47s that way, so really it only cost you the T9800 in chips when you called the AI. You will make far more than 9800 when you do catch something PF against the bigger stacks.
