First Real Post in MTT Forum

[dimastermind]

Been lurking here for a bit over a year now, figured I may as well make a post.
Background: I like to gamble, I play too high for my bankroll, yeah. I don't usually just stick around, I kind of subscribe to the colson10 gameplan. Hit the final table with a tight table image in a 520 entrant 20+2 on party and got it down to 3 when this hand came up

Read on lamppost18 is he's a maniac. He's been reraising ppl all in all game with crap cards and sucking out

Does hero make a mistake anywhere in the hand thats clearly visible? should I have pushed the turn? River push correct? reraise preflop?

[THATWACOKID]

I like the call preflop if he really is a maniac and you can outplay him postflop. I think the rest looks good too. Well played. Too bad he had a set [img]/images/graemlins/smirk.gif[/img]

[Chief911]

I think its OK to do what you did preflop, although a reraise right there isn't bad either.

You need to push the turn though.

Yea, that does look better than check-minraise. If he's drawing to a straight make him pay it there, because if he misses he'll fold the river.

[woodguy]

What did you put him on when he called your first check/raise?

Why was your second c/r a min c/r, were you just juciing the pot at that point?

My thoughts on the villain in this hand were that he was either stone cold bluffing, or had hit his 2 pair A7 or A8, couldn't be sure.

My checkraise was hoping actually to get him to come out and reraise me all in immediately, from my previous moves he might suspect me for nothing because I'd made quite a few reraises, and He was very loose himself with reraises.


Villain flipped over 10 6 off suit for the rivered straight

hero, in a fit of rage, typed obscenities for a moment then apologized and left.
