MTT's can definitely be frustrating, but good showing anyways. I'm not sure I would have pushed the A3 there, but that's just my thinking.

I guess this is why I'm no good at MTTs... Anyone want to stake me??

It was close. I was short and he opened CO. Also thought that there is a chance he gives me a little more credit since its near a money bubble.

imo a weak Ace is not the best hand to resteal with. you are better off restealing in that situation with 2 medium rank cards, like a T8. This way if you do get called you are less likely to be dominated by a bigger ace or a low to medium pp.

Nice job nonetheless outlasting 2500 people.

[/ QUOTE ]

this is wrong btw, very common myth though.

[/ QUOTE ]


Because the weak ace has the 30% equity against TT-KK, and they folds ATo or less there probably. amirite?

[/ QUOTE ]

even if the dont fold ATo, they call w/ hands like KQ/KJ sometimes, which AX is ahead of. but yeah you pretty much nailed it

A3o is still = or &gt; than T8 or T9 vs 77+

[/ QUOTE ]

I know. I'm the one that made the play that is getting flack here. [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img] Just saying that his calling range is a little wider than was posted especially given that he was probably the second most active player at the table and had an above average stack. I thought about this play a long time while trying to fall asleep last night and still think it was fine.

[/ QUOTE ]

You are not under the impression that I was criticizing the play are you? I was just pointing out it was better than T8o or whatevah's. The play was fine, He was raising a lot more than AQo+

Does anyone know where postgres database files are stored?

And SobraoBoy is awful, I remember from my time at 200nl. Him, Gidders, and (redacted because I think they read this) were my ATMs.
