Re: 27TD: tourney video
I watched the compressed version. That was fun to watch and I'm happy (for my sake) that I would have made the same play as you about 98% of the time. Looks like the cards just didn't go your way at the end (and the blinds are so big that one or two bad hands kills you).
A couple of things that I noticed and I hope I am recalling correctly, since I wasn't taking notes. Both of my comments regard playing rough eights.
1. I remember you making a value bet after the final draw with an 8-7. Is this standard for you or dependent upon opponent? Do you do this against an unknown?
2. I think I saw you play a 87wwx (2 wheel cards and one trash card) before the first draw differently. If my memory serves me (too lazy to look back at the video), one time you tossed the eight and drew 2 and the other time you kept the eight and drew 1. If so, why? I typically don't like to draw at a rough eight on the first draw and my standard choice here would be to draw 2. Is there some factor (position, opponents, other?) that changes how you play the first draw with this type of hand?
