Default Re: ($215)- archived [wchen] hand A J

He acknowledges a small mistake on his part but in reality the mistake was much greater.

IMO:

He OVERestimates his pot equity when he is called.

He OVERestimates his opponents opening range (this one is not so clear but it is my experience that a typical range at this buyin and for that position and raise size calls more then 66%)

He mentions decreasing value of chips but dismisses it by suggesting that improved hourly rate makes up for the difference which is a bit of a cop out agrument. The fact that you doubling up does not really come close to doubing your equity in the tournament coupled with the fact that you are broke if you lose this hand is a key and overlooked point by chen.


This hand is a fold by a mile and a bigger mistake then he is argueing it is.
