Perfect except for the table chatter where you gave it away. Do you see why? /images/graemlins/smile.gif

Not much risk here. They are playing so tight with such short stacks that this is the best way to play it. They are folding way too often so even if they call and win you are still profiting. Especially on the bubble this is working well as everyone is waiting for you to bust someone else out, not wanting to be the one who called your junk hand and still lost.

I didnt think it mattered. They would have had to been absolute morons to not know what I was doing. If they were absolute morons then they would get impatient and take a stab anyways.

Each one was so far drained they were hoping desperatly to make the money. It was obvious without me saying a word what I was doing. There were times I bluffed pots intentionally to keep the low stack alive.

I play it pretty much the same. Whether that's champ or chump is debatable. /images/graemlins/wink.gif

What was the buyin for this? I probably would've min re-raised or just called, in order to maximize profit with AA. Most people will call min reraises, feeling obligated. I also would've shown, seeing as you're gonna be buying a lot in the future /images/graemlins/smile.gif

Your Q4o push is QUESTIONABLE. You have to figure Mellinko will call any two, but he didn't for some reason. I see this happen a lot when people push A2o on the button to the bb who is forced to call allin. Hands like A2o are only SLIGHT favorites (55:45) vs any random hand. So basically with your Q4o push (which, btw is 48% to beat any RANDOM hand) has a decent chance of tripling up the shortstack. The only redeemable part of your Q4o push is that you figure to make out about the same b/c you are stealing 1/2 of the bb. Just a call and checking it down might work too (make sure to eliminate the shortstack).

your 25o hand was a questionable bet IMO. There are chips to be won, but it's kind of a jerky thing to do, bluffing the side pot when someone is allin. It's okay I suppose, but I don't know if I like it.

Your 68o push was iffy too. This is likely to get called by the bb, even if he is playing tight. I'd call with most hands, to have a chance at decent money.

Other than those debatable plays, I think you played it really well. But some of those plays I questioned can really go either way.

[Daliman]

Mostly well played. A few plays I would not have made, all others I do exact same(P.S. This critique assumes your opponents have a clue, which may be overstating....)

Using last 4 numbers of HH's to identify.

8871-Raise

9859-Easy call getting 2.5-1(you may have done this as stack CPR; if so, it's ok, but still worth calling there IMHO; Strange things happen.)

2455-Shouldn't have raised allin given that mellinko SHOULD call with any hand, although this hand may have been given away in chat by him(but could be BS coffeehousing).

4553-Raise

8470-Fold. RagFlop SHOULD be calling with most anything here.

This was with calculated intentions to keep the low man alive. My opponents were glaringly weaktight, waiting for someone to get busted out. Keeping the bubble/short stack alive was very EV for me I thought.

[rachelwxm]

Very good job. I was really shocked when I see bb fold when she post 2/3 of her chips as bb when you push. Again that's why we love those games. /images/graemlins/smile.gif

Now that you say it like that, I like it. Good move. /images/graemlins/smile.gif

What was the buyin for this, by the way?

[dogsballs]

You missed one.

I love a raise here. Small guy often folds and hopes someone behind gets in trouble.

[stupidsucker]

This was a 30+3.

As for the 4s5s. I cant remember, but I think I just wanted to gain a tiny bit of FE. Cant remember.
