View Full Version : Hand History From the Bubble on Out

Here is a particular tournament where my opponents were very tight and I had the chance to take full advantage of them on the bubble. This is not typical for me, I am not usually this nuts, but I felt like I could play like this due to my opponents. Please note, there is a minor suckout involved, but that's part of bubble aggression IMO. /images/graemlins/grin.gif

Fnurt, I guarantee there will be some people who see this post and think I need to head to the mental asylum. I think there were a few hands that I took a bit too far...

Your play looks fine by me. Not that my oppinion should weigh heavily with you at this point.

My own comment on this though relates to something that was said about a week ago on here. Do you think that when we play the way this forum advocates that we sometimes 'educate' our opponents? I note that after you started pushing everything, that everyone else did too. As I've adopted this strategy at times too, based on your advice and have often found a similar effect. I find that when I start pushing any hand I'm willing to play, he starts doing the same thing. I find this a little outside of the box for the way I play. When it becomes a push-fest, I feel like my skill advantage is negated. Perhaps the way a boxer will learn to counter specific styles of boxers, the key is to learn a counter to the pusher?

Just food for thought here...

the only thing that made me gasp was when you had 840 left, 3 way, posting the big blind of 600, and no-one played ! - they deserve to lose

I'm surprised that you called your opponents "very tight". More than 1/3 of the posted hands (14 out of 38) had all-in bets that were called, and most of these calls were made by your opponents.

If I know that my push is getting called 1/3rd of the time, then I would not be pushing on some of those hands.

Pretty much how I play when the blinds get that big except for a few of the all-ins.

Most standard but some WERE over the top, your opponents were not unusually tight.

Jason Strasser
06-29-2004, 11:15 PM
They started calling those all ins after the money. Before the money, I thought they were a bit tighter than most.

Not to derail your thread, but a few of the first hands contained something that is driving me nuts lately: People disclosing their cards with action to come. You are giving the person behind information against an all-in which is a HUGE advantage. It wouldn't be tolerated in a B&M tourney and there are players who habitually do it. I tend to say something about it but it doesn't do any good. Anyone handle it differently?

I don't generally read chat. Playing four of these at once is confusing enough. If I saw that, I probably wouldn't say anything... If it was in a big multi, I would be all over it.

Thanks for the report. I find these very educational.

The last hand of the tourney caught me by surprise. Is that a good call with 9-high?

Jason Strasser
06-30-2004, 12:30 AM
It's not a horrible call, but its not great. He was just fed up with me stealing his blinds I think. Sometimes you abuse someone so much that when they get in the money they call with hands they wouldnt normally call with (Q9, 98)

Your opponents were horrendous. What stakes was this?

I also think you were too loose too consistently and that you will end up bubbling too much against most opponents with pushes that loose. I think you got a little lucky that you didn't run into a monster earlier, and that you survived once you ran into the kings.

It was too loose, I agree. $100 NL. This table just had that tight feeling, and I felt like I could exploit it.

Thanks for posting these. Very educational.

I took some of your advice (i think it was you), last time I was the big stack in my SNG and ran over the table for easy win. I hadn't been playing that way previously.

Your tourney here was certainly highly aggressive.

Thx,

As I say most I like but some were lucky to get through, I think the Q8 UTG 5 handed was especially poor.

I read the hand histories and my initial reaction is that you are nuts /images/graemlins/smile.gif.

You have a better and longer winning history than I do so my 2nd reaction is that there is something to this. I will look through it again and see what I can learn from it and see if there are any adaptations I can make to my game.

It seems that this leaves you open to a lot of coinflips. How many coinflips do you typically see in a tournament? Do the number of blind steals make up for your losses in those flips?

Up till now I was thinking that the biggest flaw in my game was leaving too many tournaments up to coinflip hands.

very interesting... will take a closer look.

Watched the post on the real-player and was floored. Even if this was an extreme example (as some have claimed), I had no idea that this sort of thing was possible.

One question: We've been talking a lot about the standard 3xBB raise, and here you were going all-in almost every time. It seems to me in most cases a standard raise would chase out the timid folks on the bubble, but also give you the chance to fold to a re-raise. I'm not questioning your play, just looking for an explanation.

Is it because 3xBB > 35% of your stack?

(Nice flush, by the way. /images/graemlins/grin.gif)

Jason Strasser

Sam,

The flush was nice, wasn't it /images/graemlins/grin.gif.

Please do not read the hand history above and try something like this at your average table. With a few exceptions, (the Q8o UTG all in as Tosh mentioned) this was a standard move for me. The blinds are so large in these tournaments, and the players just don't want to protect enough. I put myself in a position to lose a coinflip and still be in it, because I stole so many blinds.

The reason I wasn't making standard raises was because a lot of the time my stack was lower than 10xBB, which for me is all-in or fold. I can't raise 3BB then fold to a reraise. That's not kosher.

The bottom line is, I prefer the aggressive rout. One player at the table could've changed my entire approach to this game. I just love the situation where you are three handed with ~3-4k chips, and everyone else has 1-2k chips. It just seems like I can rob all day at will. Once the bubble broke I didn't make any (what I'd consider) shady all-ins.

Take this post with a grain of salt, but please be aware that moves like this are very possible.

Raising less than all-in does indeed give you the chance to fold to a re-raise, which is precisely why it can be a very bad idea against the wrong opponents, i.e., those who will happily oblige you in raising you all-in and leaving you to take that escape hatch you left open. And those folds are very, very costly at these blinds/stacks.

10xBB is a reasonable place to draw the "all in or fold" line.

Well done J!

Don't think you're crazy at all. I think there were 2, maybe 3, pushes that seemed a bit over the top, but that's because I've found that my opponents (admittedly lower buy-ins) will get fed up quite easily and start calling with trash (this is fine on some level, because I'm usually ahead, but it does expose me to some close tossups I'd rather avoid). Also, I think you were a bit lucky not to bump into a dominating hand a little earlier.

As another poster mentioned, though, I think your opponents played terribly, surprisingly so for a $100+9. It's not that they were overly tight. It's that they were overly passive. One of the reasons that you ended pushing that abc character around so much (or at least the reason that is was noticeable) was that these clowns folded to your small blind like 3 or 4 times out of 5 or 6 orbits. That's seems like ridiculously weak-passive bubble play for people willing to drop $109 per SnG.

Keep up the good work, man!
