Re: Stars 20/180 Tournament Report: My First Win
Really? You reraise tens behind a 4xBB raise and a call of that raise? Any reraise is basically going to pot commit me, since I'd want to repop it a bit extra with the raise and cold-call, and I didn't think I'd have much FE if I pushed.
I almost folded, but I figured it was at least worth a call for set/all undercard flop value. Reraising never even crossed my mind. This was completely a gap concept hand to me.

Re: Stars 20/180 Tournament Report: My First Win
Hand 54 was a tough one, and before I read the entire description, I noticed it would be a good one for some discussion.
I think you need to lay this one down. You don’t need to try to get your money in after the flop hoping for an ace or a queen when you see mid pair show up. Given the read, it is very likely he could be making this move with a weak pair. I also thought about pushing preflop, but I hate AQ.

Hand 51: Luckbox repaired Any better line here to extract more? I thought I played it right. As people say, it's hard to misplay quads. Anyway, this makes me the CL by a slight margin.

Outcome: Hero wins t45400. </font> [/ QUOTE ] I would checkraise the turn allin, his line screams 9 and he probably can't fold because checkraising allin when you spike quads isn't the line most people take, you don't want an overcard to come and kill your action.

Well hand 54, at least last decision looks [censored] up. Against this wierd kind of guy who can pull unpredictable move you've got to call. Against a standard vilain, i think you STILL have got to call but that's closer. You're getting 5:1 odds, you can lose and have 30k left (which is way enough to come back). You're 3:1 against pp<Q You crush some of his dumb Ax (i definately think you can be ahead sometime against this guy) You're crushed only against AA KK QQ AK a set, doesn't seem to me you can really give credit to vilain for this kind of hands often enough. I go by the road "i don't let my chips out there without protection". Let's gamble. His range is probably a 2:1 or 3:1 fav over you at most. Does the payout structure modify things enough to make this simple reasoning wrong? [/ QUOTE ] No, the payout structure is fairly standard for a MTT. My real problem was that I could see the Villain doing this with a lot of hands. A5, AJ, any 2 spades, etc. I thought his most likely holding was a pair of some sort, possibly 55 or 88-TT. I also thought AK was possible. I felt that I probably had the odds against his range, but at the same time, losing 25k more on that hand would have hurt my stack significantly when I felt that I was definitely the best of the players, and way better than that guy. I felt that I might have taken a slightly -EV line in folding even with good odds to call in order to preserve my stack to take advantage of more clearly +EV opportunities later.

Easy to win when you get AA/KK/QQ 300 times during the course of the tourney! Sorry for bump but it had to be said! [/ QUOTE ] It certainly helps. Check out my recent win for one where I didn't actually get hit in the face by the deck until we got ITM, and even then it was winning flips, not catching cards.
