Official Review Thread: markbris $10/$100K win

[betgo]

Bonds has handed over the official review threads to me. If you want to submit one, please still send to Bond2p2@hotmail.com.

This one is a $100K win by a 4/180 player and fairly regular poster. It is a bit long. I plan on commenting on it myself later.

He outlasted 16000+ players? I don't care how bad the play is -- that's impressive. How many of the best poker players in the world can say they've done that...

Actually I remember one Sunday BeL0WaB0Ve decided to play, and he was the chip leader with like 40 left. then got coolered and knocked out around 30th (I think). That would have been pretty crazy had he won.

Bump just so more people could see this.

Looking at the first 39 hands, it looked like you had nothing to work with. Clicking on the 'Luck' tab, it ranked your luck factor at 1 (lowest possible). With that amount of (bad) luck, along with the suckout you lost on hand 19, it's incredible to me that you handled adversity extremely well.

Congratulations. Watching now and on 43th hand. Justice has come [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img].

There is more justice to follow within the first 200 hands. [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

I watched the first ~450 hands, although I only watched hands you were involved in so my comments don't accomodate for table dynamics. There wasn't much that was non-standard as far as I could tell, there were a few other hands I might have played differently but these were the only ones where I thought I found mistakes.

Hand 62 - This is fairly close but I would normally fold. To shove I would need some sort of read that villain was very tight. Make it 2 or 3bb shorter effective stacks and I think it's fine against all except very loose villains.

Hand 82 - I probably iso shove here unless bb was a complete nit and I would feel comfortable folding to a shove from him (would have to be shoving only ~TT+/AK).

Hand 106 - Preflop is close but a call is probably fine. I check/fold this flop a lot though as most unknowns won't semi-bluff into a dry side pot so you'll almost never be made to fold the best hand and there's very little value either as you won't get called by anything less than an A (maybe a high pp with a diamond).

Hand 129 - I don't know if this was the bubble or anyting but I wouldn't normally raise this from EP. I also check back the flop a lot as getting c/r here sucks when you probably have ~7 outs if behind.

Hand 148 - I fold this unless both blinds were really tight. Getting shoved on by sb sucks as you're getting great odds but will still have a closeish decision as your hand is so bad. Also the bb is so short that he's going to be looking for a spot to get it in so will normally be calling/shoving quite wide.

Hand 271 - If villain had been opening at all often in LP then I'm shoving this a lot.

Hand 285 - You seem to flat call everywhere I'd iso and shove everywhere I'd flat. Here I'm wanting action so I'll flat call to try to get weaker hands to overshove behind.

I will hopefully watch the last 300 or so hands of the FT bubble/FT some other time. Congratulations on the big score.

OK, these are my comments.

106. Fold preflop.

118. Bet the set on the turn into the dry sidepot.

129. I would fold A5o in early position.

156. Overcall the short stack pushes with AQo.

245. I would push preflop at the short stack late position limper with KQ in the BB.

271. I would usually resteal with A9s in the BB versus a CO raise.

296. This may be a call of the reraise allin of your CO raise with 88.

303. Tight open fold of 76s on the button.

319. I would usually push with KQo against the CO raise.

431. KTs 12xBB in hijack. Tight open fold. Push or raise small.

451. Open push JTs for 9xBB in hijack.

490. Possible resteal spot with 44.

510. Push on flop with flush draw to minbet from blinds.

550. Think you reraise/folded too much of your stack.

565. I would call or push with T9s the open raise from the SB.

571. What does the push on the turn accomplish?

600. Bet the flop. Don’t you bet the flop without an ace. Raise the turn: he may have trips and you want to get value.

695 & 698. Bluff the flop with 6-high, since that is the only way you win.

738. Again, you have 5-high so you need to bluff HU.
