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.

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.

this is wrong btw, very common myth though.

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

He calls all pairs in that spot I'm pretty sure. At the very minimum he's calling 77+ imo.

[futuredoc85]

A3o is still = or > than T8 or T9 vs 77+

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.

Heh.. I did something like this a part of a prop. $2500 in 6 months w/o buy-in. Easy money, but a severe waste of time. Still confused as to why people buy play chips, but glad they bought mine. I don't think I could have stomached freeroll MTTs to get the seed money.

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