Re: Deep in the tournament and your tournament life is at stake
Well I did a little research of what hands I thought he had and to me it came out 1/3 I was behind, 1/3 I was ahead, 1/3 I was tie. It was a tough decision with my chip stack and who was at the table. I also knew that he knew I was tight. But at the same time I figured he thought I would reraise him with AK since I reraised him earlier with AQ. Overall I added it up and thought "I'm either going to be the super chips leader or DIE!" I felt I was a head 66% of the time considering everything.
And why the hell risk your tournament life on AK when he will call with ANY pair and your a dog.
I can risk 15% of my stack to win the hand. I have position vs a guy I KNOW will pay me off it I hit and check if he misses so I would take the pot anyways.
Risk everything on a coin flip. Why the hell is everyone PUSH PF PUSH PF. Thats dumb vs this type of player that WILL call with any pair. Why risk the whole tournament on a coin flip when you are the chip leader. Thats a lesson I learned. Pick on the small stacks and try to avoid the big ones. Now if I had an M of 10 or less then I would push. But not when the 4 stacks to my left are Ms of 3 or less and I can bully them around.
I go far in these tournaments by winning a lot of pots not by PUSH PUSH PUSH risking everyother hand trying not to get unlucky.
