Re: Local B&M - Final Table, how would you play it?
So what's the question. Seems pretty straight forward. I understand your line of play.
You had 3 choices none of which would be considered wrong in my opinion: 1. All in on the flop and get the BB out (not my personal choice) 2. Check the flop to get more money in the Pot from the BB. 3. Underbet or make a small bet at the pot to extract money from the BB. |

Re: Local B&M - Final Table, how would you play it?
Sorry, here's the question....
If I believe I am one of the best players...should I just try and pick up the pot when I have the best hand, rather than give a weaker hand a chance to draw out on me. In this case, after the flop, should I have gone all-in to pick up a decent size pot, giving me ~11,000 in chips and putting myslef in good position to finish high in the money. |

Results
BB flips over 5c6c for the straight and improves to the flush on the river.
I am trying not to be results oriented, but I can't help but think that in this particular tournament, where the competition was extremely weak (over a 2 hour period in the tourney, there was only one other pre-flop raise other than myself and he had AA) that the proper play was to chase the BB out on the flop and take a nice pot. Then with an above average stack I would have been able to outplay the rest of the table for a high finish. Opinions? |

I think you played it ok. The only thing that you could have changed was put in a bigger raise pre-flop. Then maybe the BB folds.

Re: Local B&M - Final Table, how would you play it?
I thought about that also. But, I don't think I want the BB to fold preflop. I think he is the one person I want to call, as his call will most likely be the loosest due to his stack size.

Re: Local B&M - Final Table, how would you play it?
I really think this is a push preflop. Theres already about 4000 in the pot when its on you to act. You should have around 5000. I push the rest of my stack to single out the other guy all in. If the other guy is as lose as you say ehes calling you with a lot anyway.

Re: Local B&M - Final Table, how would you play it?
If it was a rainbow flop, I think your line is correct.
I would have raised at least half the pot to 3000 to give the false hope that you would fold. You don't have enough chips to get fancy. Your line wasn't bad it was just unfortunate. I hate giving draws free cards. With the turn card I'm pushing allin. If he had called, your bet i'm losing money oh well... -Gryph |

Re: Local B&M - Final Table, how would you play it?
The all-in guy called my PF raise, so I couldn't isolate him. Maybe a push pre-flop is right, when the BB is the chipleader and you only have about 11 BBs. I was just trying to extract the most money possible and got caught doing so.
