DTD Grand Prix Day 1a Decision

[Matt D]

Insta-fold for me.

Live, with reads on whether BB is going to get involved and on how tilty the shove feels, it may be a reshove.

Online, meh - fold. No need to get involved.

Also affected by the availability of a second or third try later in the week.

[Matt D]

What position were you at time of fold? Top 8 or so?

[duke3016]

Contrary to public opinion even I could find a fold here  

[dwh103]

Easy pass, albeit annoying, given you know barely anything about Villain. Even easier if you think you can pick up chips with relative ease elsewhere.

[Curlarge]

It all depends if you are playing other days.

I have won 3 sats (blatant brag obv.) and therefore have 3 goes, so I guess a re-shove under these circs. is not outrageous, given the huge stack on offer for day 2 if it"s successful. I"m playing tonight, so have to think long and hard if I find a similar spot.

[Chipaccrual]

Oh, and it is £50 + £10  

[Newportlad]

Pretty much the same as everyone else.
Definite fold if just the one attempt.  If two attempts, i still think a fold, as i have better chances later i think.
3 or more, i re-shove.

feck ye, you had that button removed in 2007!!!!

What was the result and what do you play as on this site Leigh?

[Chipaccrual]

The result was that I called, the oppo showed   and turned a flush.

I was down to 80k, then lost a flip with AT v 33 for another 50k, got the remainder allin against the CL and was totally dominated, and exited in 22nd place.

But most importantly, I learnt a valuable lesson that when in positions towards the end of a tournament, sometimes when you ask the all important question "What would Ger do ?", your answer may be different to his.  

I play as some variant of chipaccrual on DTD.

LOL - just caught up with the GP thread.

Unlucky fella, you playing tonight?

Might do, got a podcast recording booked, but will see how it goes.

Question (you should all know what it is by now), I know we have limited info but what do you all think his range is here?

[GiMac]

His range doesnt matter its his chip stack that does and his stack dictates a fold in this position. I think i fold pat myself on the back and go to day 2 with a reasonable stack and look to run good.

[deanp27]

Lol of course his range matters, as does the size of the stacks
