I realize that this is the STT forum, but since the hands in question occurred with only a few people left I figured I could get some good insight here.
This is a 50+5 tournament on empire and 65 people bought in. The payouts were roughly as follows: 1st-950, 2nd-650, 3rd-450, 4th-320, 5th-275?, 6th-220?. I'm not quite sure about those last two, but top 8 paid and 8th place was $160.
Anyway, here are the hands:
12 or 13 people left, remember top 8 pay. There were 3 players at the other table with less than 2500 chips.
Seat 10 is the button
Total number of players : 6
Seat 1: yevin ( $10009 )
Seat 2: Namorf ( $3640 )
Seat 3: ampdog69 ( $6100 )
Seat 5: Gentry77 ( $5300 )
Seat 8: lago_Spain ( $7254 )
Seat 10: tamburlaine ( $2992 )
Trny:12697524 Level:10
Blinds (300/600)
** Dealing down cards **
Dealt to Namorf [ Kc Qc ]
ampdog69 folds.
Gentry77 is all-In [5300]
lago_Spain folds.
tamburlaine folds.
yevin folds.
Should I call this? I had played with villain at an earlier table and my read on him was that he was fishy and made a few ill-advised steal attempts. He had been playing fairly tight since making the final table however. I opted to fold figuring I should wait for a hand to open push.
I don't have the HH for this next hand, but here is the scenario:
4 players left
UTG (~t17000)
UTG+1 (~t25000)
Hero (t9000)
BB (t13000)
The two big stacks fold and I am dealt K9o in the sb. Before everyone jumps on me, I know I should have pushed. I'm an idiot, I have no excuse. I got caught in a postflop bluff at the final table and I lucked out and won the hand. I had also been pushing a hell of a lot so I felt I had a maniacal image. I know that shouldn't matter, but in any case I just completed the blind and BB checked.
Flop comes JT8 rainbow. I check, BB raises to 1000, I push in for 7000 more.
Ignoring the terrible preflop play, I have to push there, don't I? I figured I at least had an overcard and an OE straight draw. Needless to say I lost and felt I should have done better considering who was left.
Thanks in advance for reading and responding to this long post.
