Re: Blinds stealing late stages of the tournament

Depends on the blind's stack sizes and general behaviour, not to forget my own table image. Oh yes, are there antes?

Flopped set UTG

It's like the 5th hand of a Stars $73 + $7 super sat to the $650 PCA super; the first four hands have all seen ferocious action, but I figure I can call a raise or fold to a re-raise:

Re: i\'m playing too passively against chip leader?

I'm a notoriously weak nit, but I don't raise here pf with less than A8o. A6o is a hand that's really got nothing going for it - and a lot against it - if you get action.

Re: Re-steal on low stakes

Your stack is to short to re-steal.

With 10 BB if you can't open push you have to play for value.

Sorry you lost your hand.

Re: Slightly -cEV move to become chip leader. $4 + .40 180sng stars

I pretty much hate your play.

Your PF bluff-into-the-table-chip-leader raise is useless. There's t950 in the pot, and your small raise gives the OR 2.7 : 1 on a call.

Calling the extra t700...

Re: stars payout structure

Your information is incorrect.

Stars 20% tournaments differentiate between 10 - 13 and 14 - 18.

Re: Late Stage, low M: Push ATo in SB against raise from HJ?

With the antes there's 4,200 in the pot before any action, giving you 6.5 effective BB (measured as 2/3 of pot). Your options are rapidly disappearing, and your FE is at risk.
