[bads33d]

my table is tight, I think im the only one who preflop raised...

its been folded around to the big blind 4 times already...

[jslag]

I have seen 1 flop. Best hand so far, QJs. Ugh.

Jason Strassa is at my table too, playing well.

[bads33d]

ehh, my set of 10s got outdrawn by runner runner flush...

[jslag]

Ouch, still in it though?

[Tyler Durden]

I flopped top two w/ AQ and a boat w/ JJ on a KKJ flop but not much action. t1135 now.

[Tyler Durden]

down to t615 at the break. oops.

[TheTimeIsUp]

I'm down to 400, as well. Combo of poorly played cards, and some bad luck. JJ lost to a short stacks AA, and a poorly played 44 up against 99. Ahh..lets see if I can come back.

[Matt24]

1264 at break. Nothing has went right after that TT hand. Was up to 2300 at one time.

[jslag]

865 at the first break. Seen about 3 flops, winning one small pot with A9.

Other than that, it's been a very very dry run of cards for me so far.

[bads33d]

Im at 770 at the break.

Just glad I didnt lose more chips with that set of 10s.

[Matt24]

btw, Ive had AA, QQ, won jsut blinds. I hate that.Won a decent pot with JJ

[TheTimeIsUp]

What are you at Tyler? Just doubled up to 740 myself.

[TheTimeIsUp]

Doubled up again to 1.5k, AK vs A7, still aaaallloottt of work to do.

[jslag]

I feel bad about this one, but I do feel I had no choice. With blinds going up in about 3 minutes, and JJ being my first pocket pair the whole tournament, I felt I had to move in.

Sucks I ended up bad-beating a 2+2er, but I don't see how to get away from this hand in this situation.

Bye Bye

Out in 364th

55 loses to AA (read him for overs) when I hit an OESD on the flop

That was one ugly tournament for me

Good luck

[TheTimeIsUp]

Doubled up agaain, near 3k. Laid down TT to a maniac, thought it was a good play at the time but I am fastly regretting it.

[Tyler Durden]

Sorry to hear slaggo.

I have t1280 on the button.

Nothing you could do about the JJ.

[Matt24]

doubled up with QQ vs JJ. in the next 5 minutes after that hand I pick up QQ 2 more times and JJ once and only pick up the blinds.

[Matt24]

2753 at break. Had QQ 3 times, JJ once, and KK once, and 55 also in that hour. doubled wiht the QQ once and took blinds with every hand but 55 where I got blinds plus the bb called and folded on the flop.

[Tyler Durden]

t1505 at the break, but I'm the BB on the first hand back.

[bads33d]

I have 3690 at the 2nd break in table 10.

Made a nice comeback from 650 chips when my set of 10s got cracked by a runner runner flush in the first 30 minutes of play.

[TheTimeIsUp]

2k at the break

[Zinzan]

Started the tournament trying to play a little more aggressive in late position. Worked for a while, and got up to about t1400 without ever hitting the flop.

Stopped working. Got all the way down to t450.

Went all-in with AJ, called by QT and I doubled up. Went all-in again with AJ and doubled through a KT (geez, are these guys good to me or what?). So now I'm sitting at about t2275 without getting any monsters. I don't think I've seen an AK or any pocket pairs higher than 88.

Average stack is t3613, and blinds are about to be 100/200. Hope I start catching cards.

-Z

BTW, I'm on Table #2. Uh-oh. 66 after the break. I open in CO for t500 and am raised all-in by Button. Called by BB! Guess I'll drop these sixes. Button turns over 44, and BB turns over KJ. Wow. BB catches a King, so I'm glad I folded.

[TheTimeIsUp]

At 2.4k, and the stalling begins..o man..

[Zinzan]

Anybody else having problem with this site? Took me 15 minutes to get my second break report posted.

Anyway, got down to t1000 and raised all-in from SB with junk, hoping to steal from a couple limpers. Called by AQ, and one of my offsuit cards catches a four-flush on board. Next hand, I have AJ and push and am called by JT or something. Cool. I'm up to t5400!

-Z

Still waiting on some monster cards. AJ has been my best hand all night! /images/graemlins/smile.gif

[Matt24]

got up to 5500, but lost AQ vs 77, back down to 2700.

I just laid down JJ, manaic at the table has been goin all in with very crummy hands, bullyin the table. When he only raised 3bb, he was beggin for action, and I thought I could get a better oppurtunity to pick up chips, horrible play?

[Zinzan]

JJ has to be played based on feel of table. You probably made a good laydown.

QQ is also a tricky hand. Depending on how many chips you have, etc, picking up the blinds might be good enough, though you may get lucky and get called by someone with JJ or worse.

-Z

[TheTimeIsUp]

Thanks, I thought I made a horrible play on the JJ. But probably not after all.

[Matt24]

out in 123rd. lost AQs vs 99

[Tyler Durden]

Out in 120th. Big stack opens for 900 (BB 400), I push for 1800 more w/ 99, he calls w/ A4o and makes a flush.

[Darkhand]

Hey GivinCash, I thought you said you had 7s not Qs ;oP

100 left, very lowstacked. Itd be nice to make the money...

gl
D

[bads33d]

12272 after the 3rd break. Im in table 10, donbuttons__

[TheTimeIsUp]

You're a 2+2er?! What a small world..

[Zinzan]

I was disconnected with about t4800. Seems to be cable internet problems, so it took me a while to fish out my adapter card and connect to my neighbor's wireless DSL. Been blinded down to t1800 now... literally limping to the money this time (if I make it at all). I hate it.

Still haven't seen any pocket pair better than 88. Did see Big Slick once, and stole the blinds.

Actually, considering my cards, I will be happy to just get ITM.

Good luck, everyone.

-Z

P.S. We're down to 93 (3 from the money)... I may not make it.

[TheTimeIsUp]

I'm around 1k, and only playin to make the money (hopefully) at this point, 3 more to go, so there is slight hope, i m the smallest stack in the tourney tho

[TheTimeIsUp]

Wow, my plan has completely changed. 3 double ups put me at 13k. Crazy. Gl all still in it.

[bads33d]

nice!!!!

Fantastic turnaround!

So, if you were me with AK in EP with 1 to go... would you have pushed or folded. I was honestly leaning to push but lost track of my time count.

-Z

[Zinzan]

I looked down at 88 and decided to push my last t630. Actually, I called a raise in front of me, and someone behind me pushed. Turns out he had QQ and original raiser called with AT. Hits two tens, of course.

As I say, I was happy to just get in the money this time, considering I never had a pocket pair better than eights, and only had Big Slick twice.

Good luck, everyone. GivingCash, I like your chances with that kind of momentum going for ya!

[/ QUOTE ]

Auto-push. Your goal should be not only to make the money, but to get one of those top 10 finishes. I had a similar situation in the $50+5 Large Caps tournament once.

There was 1 to go before the money, and I was a short stack. I was on the button with AJs. A very very aggressive big stack in MP min-raised. He had done this a LOT. I came over the top and doubled up there against a very marginal holding (I think he had KT or something like that).

I could have folded into the money, but instead I now had a playable stack.

I went on to win that Large Caps, my first MTT win.

[Zinzan]

Thanks, Slag. As I said, I was really leaning towards pushing, and was very surprised when my time ran out... I thought I had like 60 seconds or so, so I wasn't paying attention to the clock... I was looking at the other tables to see how many small stacks were in imminent danger. I had the second smallest stack. Even if I stole the blinds there, I would have had the second smallest stack. If I had doubled up, I would have had the third smallest stack...

Still, I was probably thinking too much and should have just pushed.

In the end, this is the first time I've ever played the bubble like a wuss. I'm very ashamed.

-Z

[TheTimeIsUp]

I would have pushed zin, I pushed with JTs with 3 left, and AK is one of those top 3 hands. I say you gotta push, unless you rrealllyyy need that 243.9. Just my two cents.

[Darkhand]

#88 - considering the hands Ive had to endure I guess I can only be happy bout it...

Gl GivingCash, play em ugly /images/graemlins/smile.gif

D

[TheTimeIsUp]

Yikes, nearly half the average, don't want to get aggro until I change tables since I have the big stack to my left, any tips?

[Firefly]

I'd be looking to double up so I can make a run at the final table. I wouldn't get really desperate quite yet. After the blinds go around i'd be looking to double and start going for the real bucks

Folding some decent hands (88, Qj)
I'll look to double up this orbit, if not, let the stealing begin (*gulp*)

Just pushed with AK and stole the blinds. It looks like they are givin me a ton of respect, should I bluff an all in and show? What do you think?

What'd you have when you open-pushed 28K in the SB with 1K/2K blinds? (Hand 1244689081). Any reason for the push rather than a smaller raise?

It's always a gamble. I think it might be a good play, if you don't get called, so you might want to do it in LP if it's folded or limped to you.

-Z

[Firefly]

You are getting alot of respect. However i'm not sure it would be worth the risk to do that. If it works, it's brilliant, and if it doesn't...it's idiotic. If you're willing to do it, If you're playing solid poker, I would just continue to do so.

[TheTimeIsUp]

I'm GivingCash, not DonButtons

[TheTimeIsUp]

I think i'll do it once the blinds go around, not sure yet, hopefully i'll get a monster, crossin my fingers.

[Zinzan]

gl. it's not a play i make very often, unless i really know the blinds are tight. but when my stack gets low enough (where I'll soon lose my folding equity if I don't make a move), i am capable of pushing with anything.

-Z

[TheTimeIsUp]

I had KQs the first time, and I said I was gonna show a bluff zin /images/graemlins/wink.gif
So, I held to my word, and showed that 46s! Whew, I was scared on that one. Hopefully i'll get a monster and they'll call..come on baby!

[TheTimeIsUp]

Does anybody else think this is very odd people are pushing their whole stack with 99 and 88?? Hmmm...show me the broadway pair baby!!

[Zinzan]

Yeah, I didn't like bads33d pushing 66, but I didn't see the early part of that hand.

-Z

[TheTimeIsUp]

2nd short stack with 15k, lets see if I can egt anything rolling. Doesn;t look good, but I have overcame more this tourney!

[ZootMurph]

Congrats to Zinzan for making the money even though his internet connection died near the bubble, to bads33d for his solid finish in the top 20, and the TheTimeIsUp, who was at the final table when I had to get to bed.

[TheTimeIsUp]

I was a short stack, and was getting no hands, so I was forced to push, or so I think. If I let the blind hit me, I would have only 4k chips, but be able to see some hands. I didn't think it was +EV. I figured if I pushed here I would have about 40% if he had overs, maybe 45% if he had worse. Was this the correct play?

Guess my luck just ran out, eh? O well, almost won 2k, so I am pretyy happy. BIG thank you for all the sweaters cheerin me on ever since I got in the money. It was a great run guys, and thanks for your support.

[TheTimeIsUp]

This actually was the farthest I have got in a Super. I am relitively new to highish stake tournaments online, so this was indeed a first for me.

About the poker, I think I had a terrible showing. I completely relied on the cards, limping in the money with 1k b4 I doubled 3 times only because of cards. The only bluff play I made was to throw the table off, and that is very weak. There were many steals on me that I could have easily came over the top and taken it down. I didn't make the most of my dry spell of cards.

Mainly, this was my first Super where I had gotten this far, so I am thinking I had the jitters. I think I mentally decided I just wanted to make it to the final table, no matter what.

In the end, it proved my undoing. I will make sure this does not happen next time, since I got some experience put in the bag. You probably don't give a crap about this post, but I just had to get my thoughts off my chest.

Again, thank you all the sweaters at 2+2, probably the only reason I balled up a few times to make the final table. Good night, all!

[bads33d]

Me either, I typed in for a raise of 12,000, and accidently put a extra zero and clicked bet, and it put me all in.

[sdplayerb]

you did the right thing.
you were getting 2.5-1 and were the smallest stack.
if you fold you are under 10K, so no way you can get anybody to fold.
He can be raising with a ton of hands here and you probably have between 35 and 40% chance to win. If you win, you are completely back in it.
If you fold you have less than a 35% chance to get back in it as you'll need to get lucky to pickup a real hand in the next few hands, so this is a superior opportunity.

It is likely you should have pushedin before now, but I didn't see the hands.

Congrats

[/ QUOTE ]

Ah. I've done that before, and sweated what seemed like forever before the table folded around. I got lucky, and have tried to be really careful ever since.

Instead of just putting you all-in, Party should beep at you and not accept a bet greater than the money you have available. For example, if you have t54,000, and type 120000, it shouldn't accept the final zero and should send out a warning beep. Instead, it just turns the bet amount into an all-in.

Good game, otherwise, bads33d.
