Rough ending, but good tourney. Love to see how to make the bridge, but doubt I'll ever accumulate enough bricks to build one.

From your blog:

Six hands later I opened to 22k UTG with AQ and was called only by the button. 67k in the pot, flop is 3 3 5 . I continue for 42k, and he goes all-in for somewhere between 70-80k more. I think for a long time, <u>finally pick up a read, make the call</u> and turn up my ace high first.

I would be really interested to hear more about this part of the hand.

wow, nice call with AQ. hate it when good plays are punished, but hey, what can you do?

dude, you gotta post a chip bridge tutorial.

Can't really explain the getting of the read. I had the read earlier but I had to go through the thought process of the reads throughout the hand to come to the final conclusion. My read pre-flop was a non-pair hand, JT range-ish. I felt like he was shoving with any-pair pre-flop. The flop play I kinda sensed something going through his head like, "[censored] it. He can't call unless he has a big pair, so I'm gonna push him off the hand." My read was weakness. He had a flush-draw + pair-draw at best, but I really just felt like he didn't have anything.

Chip bridge tutorial:

1) Two stacks of any height supported on a chip foundation EXACTLY two chip diamater apart from each other.
2) On each stack, put one chip half off the stack facing the opposite stack with a second chip on top of the one half hanging off in line with the original stack.
3) Using four chips, repeat this process to extend the bridge another half a chip distance in each direction. The key here is placing the weight on the outside on top of the original stack to keep the support. The weight must bet strong on the outside to maintain the original arms.
4) At this point your two steps have given 1/2 chip distance on each stack toward the middle, and these two chips should be touching or very close to it. Put a chip on the two touching ones to complete the gap, but keep a finger underneath to maintain support, and then build the weave back to the outsides to maintain support on the outside.

Enjoy!
