I was playing a tournament last night that I regretted buying in to... was on a promise, but the promise only arrived after I bought in - so had played fast and loose early on, and gambled ridiculously, and now found myself with a decent stack. This was a $5 (2R1A) with 4500 runners, and I was 100th/1400 - 675 paid, although was only really interested in the money for the last 10. Average stack was around 25k, and I had 44k.
That said, having built a stack, I was now taking a bit more seriously, and with the cricket having started on TV, was happy to to take the late night and play properly..... then this hand happened.
Hand in question...
harbour 2000 was playing top 5% only - VP/PFR = 6/4 over 150 hands. Only hand he has open raised with so far was KK.
portbou = 22/14. Had him tagged as straight forward - folds when he misses flop, but bets fast when he hits.
When hardbour2000 opens for 3x here, I can only put him on TT+/AK. When portbou flats, I see a value opportunity and implied odds for suited connectors, but know I can"t raise as harbour won"t be folding... so elect to call (gambling fish again)
