He knocked me out last night with AA vs my AK for a 120k pot, then picked up another 50k next hand when he got dealt KK up against AQ and JJ of two shorter stacks.

Looks like he ran pretty good

[Sillbags]

Here we go then. Bullets 7 & 8 tonight. Feeling good about this one.

Sick hand, but surely you are shoving to isolate in that position ?  The BB is getting huge value to see a flop and gets enough of it to not be going away in a hurry.

It would have added 43k to your stack if just up against the short stack.

Perhaps I"m reading it wrong.  Either way, it"s horrible to get aces bust late on like that.

+1 ul but defo need to be isolating there imo

[Sillbags]

I know what you guys are saying, but there was a few reasons for flatting the aces, obv wish I had piled now though. There was a couple of guys behind me with high 3bet tendencys. I was looking to get a shove from hands like AJ or 8"s, who would fold if I iso"d. The blinds were about to go up as well, which meant if had lost the hand to the all in shorty I would have been crippled with about 8bbs. There was over 100k in the side pot, so as long as don"t lose the the him, I still win the healthy side pot and have a playable stack. It was a very close desision, and had no time bank left. I think I was just trying to extract max value from the hand. I mean if their hands were reversed and the KQ had peeled, it would have worked out how I"d planned. I take your comments on board and maybe even with the other factors considered, it is still a mistake to flat to induce here  

[AMRN]

I"m not in this stake, but have been watching your progress with interest. You have to go with your reads Neil, and if you have flatted for a specific reason here, expecting a raise behind a fair percentage of the time, then the flat call has credibility and is possibly +EV.  With the way these tourneys are playing out, and with the desire to take a decent stack to day 2 to be competitive, I think it"s reasonable to do whatever you can to try and engineer a massive pot in this spot.  

However, I don"t have a %age, so perhaps not my place to comment.

[Sillbags]

I will not be going to Nottingham for day 2 thanks to this exit hand from flight 12. The guy was playing 63/7 ffs!!!
Pretty much sums my week up

Made day 2 of the Bristol Masters Main Event with 28,250. Average 46k with 88 players remaining. Not the best stack, but with blinds at 600/1200 and 45 min levels, I still have a playable stack. Somehow I managed to play 10 levels without picking up AK or AQ once. Interesting hand with QQ though.

I have around 20k at 100/200 and open   to 550 utg+2. Hijack calls, Cutoff calls, button raises to 2100. Button had been moved to our table about an hour before. He"d been pretty active, but not seen him 3bet before and not sure if he realised this was a good squeeze spot or not. I did not want to call and play oop, possibly multi way, so I chose to 4bet to 4500. He thinks for 30 seconds counting his chips and shoves. He has me covered. Whilst I"m tanking, he starts saying "you must have AK". I tell him I don"t have AK and that I hate to 4 bet fold this hand. He then says "You must have QQ then" I eventually fold after a couple more mins and he show AA. Bullet dodged. Thoughts?

[hi_am_chris]

He should have stayed quiet if he wanted to stack you?

[Sillbags]

Busted in 50th. Blinds 1k/2k, I shove 26k from co with KQ. Bb calls with AJ and holds. Got up 40k at one point but had to fold 10"s to a huge 3bet. He showed aces.
