Friday night fight- tournament in full

[RioRodent]

Nice result, must be a delight to live in a world where AQ > AK twice!

Seriously, thanks for sharing this - I watched it all earlier and found much to make me think about my game and how to improve it.

hmmmmmm

george if u goto your Hand Histories you can change the link [under show links] you can choose between with stats or without.
Watched with your cards covered [i get more of feel this way ] upto hand 199 so far and the only ?? i"d have is your sb play though u seem to tighten this up as it gets further [havent looked at your hole cards yet]
Forgot to jot the hand number down but ur in the sb and the flop is QQ5 2 diamonds 3way and u decide to check raise, i think with 2 others seeing the flop i met lead out here if i have a queen rather than risk villains taking a free card, the check raise screams i have a QUEEN as u had been so quiet upto then...[if crafty bluff nice1]
Hand 199 with the Ace xx monotone flop seems odd to overbet given bb and sb stack sizes .. TPWK ?? my guess,if so a std ish bet would get the job done imo maybe get them to brain fart a FD..
Have not really had a chance to see much postflop [i assume card dead] ...

I"ll keep skimming through it tomorrow....

Wow george this is awesome. Thankyou so much for sharing this. Should be a sic learning experience for us.
I"ve looked at the 1st 73 hands. Hand 73 was a crucial one I guess, in the fact you doubled up with the A7s when you flopped 2 pair. I think there was a raise to 160, call and you called. I wonder what you were thinking preflop with this hand? Did you consider a fold? I guess a fold here wouldn"t be terrible? (thats what I called out before you acted)

George, hand 90 was interesting for me.

You had played fairly tight up til then and it got folded to your small blind where you limp re raised then bet out an A high flop. Am i being a big donkey by saying after re raising and being called i wouldnt be able to bet 750 on this flop with the 9 high you had?

[Fonzie14]

Very nice George. An excellent example of "Big Stack" poker at the FT. Congrats on the cash btw.

[kinboshi]

Nice touch George.  Will have a gander at that when I get a chance.

Does it come with girlie giggles, or do you have to add your own sound effects?

With the A10 diamonds? Well Paul Merson the opener was pretty spewy so when he min raises I"m putting him on a wide range. The shorty is obv shoving wide too. I"m pretty sure if I flat here Paul will not re raise and probably check it down. When the 3rd player gets involved I"m pretty much done with the hand

I know it shouldn"t but sometimes having 100$ on someone"s head makes you call lighter so this probably had something to do with it too. I did have to say to myself in a couple of spots forget the 100$! Keep your eyes on the prize

Hi mate. Small>big play is probably something I need to work on. I find that esp online people will 3 bet/peel from the big blind a lot more when met with a small blind raise so I really tighten my range up. I hate getting into spots with Ace rag or small pairs where I"m basically stacking off on occasion.

Yes I did have a Queen and do like to lead usually but felt the limper was going to take a stab. When the big blind bet and the limper folded I just wanted to build the pot as quickly as poss. I deffo do lead in these spots usually - musta just been mixing it up at the time.

Yes it was a weak ace and massive overbet. Sometimes I will bet to induce here but decided I didn"t want to get into a confrontation against a spazzy flush draw. It"s probably a bet play value wise but sometimes I will make these kind of bets just to reduce variance in these situations. I had the as back up too
