Those tournaments(And a lot of people will know what I mean) is those idiots wont raise preflop almost never(just a min raise then they have AA/KK/QQ/JJ), they just trying to see a cheap flop with trash hoping to get lucky. Then you get a premium bring for a raise... get the blinds, then again do a raise, they all fold but some guy puts you all in, you see AQo and cant help but fold as you know he probably trying a gamble with a pair.
Or sometimes you get a caller, and you hit the flop! Then you play correctly and bet pot or close to it, what does he do looking at a AQ9 flop, folds.
I say ok, as soon the blinds get big those folds will be good for me, then the blinds get like 10% of your stack, you see AKo, great, raise 3.5BB, what happens?People think your on a steal and their egos get involved! They wont let you get away with that steal ever! The big stack looks at his 45o and since he got lucky all the tournament he calls, besides its just five bucks, so they pretty much call almost all my steals.
Then you miss the flop, fire a second barrel, but his ego is so involved he will call with just about any pair.
And when your second barrels works its great, you try another steal two orbits later and get called, yet you miss it again, fire a pot sized knowing you need this pot, he calls and since the blinds are huge you lost more than when it succeeded so now you get crippled and its vegas time.
Your A9 dont hold up, you kick your chair and go to the bathroom for a nightly vomiting session
END.
