Superfluous Man
05-03-2005, 02:23 AM
At first a friend of mine insisted I played this poorly, and I was (and pretty sure) I did as well. But I'm starting to justify the action in my head.
Anyway, 'stars $11R, a couple minutes after the 3rd break, so there's still about 80-90 who have to bust before everyone's ITM. I have a little above the average stack with 55k, and I had come back from dead last (T195 with the BB at 400). So I was feeling special (i.e. drunk on being a luckbox). Read on SB is that he's a little looser and a little more passive preflop than average, but he's only been here 2 orbits or so, so I haven't really seen him play postflop. The BB had never failed to fold to a steal attempt, so I figured I had a good shot at the steal. Feel free to criticise preflop play as well as posit a postflop play. Without further ado...
