Stay super-aggressive or back off?
No, this isn't a bad beat post although it does involve a bad beat. It falls outside what SNGPT can calculate, though, so I wanted to post this hand and see if I should've done anything differently.
Background: Beginning 3-handed I had t1860, compared to my opponents with t4540 and t3600. I only had t1000 going into 4-handed but had made up the extra with a lot of blind stealing. I continued to push all kinds of hands and worked my way up to 2nd in chips (SNGPT really makes you look at these situations differently). I didn't have to show down a single hand since I eliminated the Bubble. Two hands prior to the example hand, I open-pushed and took down the blinds. Next hand the SB called my BB and I took down the pot with a check-raise on the turn (paired my 3). Didn't have to show down either hand. The Button was rather LAG, and had minraised a number of times before. Several of those times I took down the pot by pushing from the SB (with a reasonable strength hand) so I was confident he didn't have a strong hand here. Paradise Poker No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t300 (3 handed) converter Button (t4750.00) Hero (t3110.00) BB (t2140.00) Preflop: Hero is SB with J[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]. Hero posts a blind of t150. <font color="#CC3333">Button raises to t600</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero (poster) raises to t3110</font>, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, Button calls t2510. Flop: (t6520) T[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 2[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 4[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font> Turn: (t6520) T[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font> River: (t6520) 9[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font> Final Pot: t6520 Results in white below: <font color="#FFFFFF"> Button has Ad 4d (two pair, tens and fours). Hero has Jd Ac (one pair, tens). Outcome: Button wins t6520. </font> In the end I got what I wanted, right? I got all the money in as a 3:1 favorite against a dominated hand, and would've had a commanding chip position had I won. Unfortunately this time I was unlucky and busted out in 3rd. It happens. I only realized after the fact that I had > 10x BB and wasn't under as much pressure to play as I thought I was. Given my recent maniac image, should I have backed off, and just flat called PF (I don't like playing AJo OOP but it's too strong to fold 3-handed) and let the hand go when I missed? Or once you've gotten back to a "healthy" chip position, do you recommend backing off and more selectively picking spots? |

Re: Stay super-aggressive or back off?
If this is not a bad beat post, then why did you post results? Don't post results.
That said this is a clear, easy push. |

Re: Stay super-aggressive or back off?
The chances of me doing anything but open-push with AJ three handed with 10.1 BB are nil, unless I have x-ray glasses on and can see his hand.
