Raising like a maniac.
It was in the middle (~600 players left) of a $100 freeroll with a new level every 3 minutes. I'm new to tournaments (and NL, but I have played about 20k hands limit) and I considered it pure practice. My personal goal was to reach the final table.
Hand 1 The blinds where 75/150. Villain had 4865 (chip leader) and I had 1240. I had seen him played about eight hands and he entered half of them playing them quite passively. Villain limps from UTG+1 and I raise to 400 with A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]K[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] from MP1. He calls and the flop comes 3[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]9[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]5[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]. He check/folds my raise to 500. Hand 2 The hand after I raise to 500 with AJo (now from UTG+2). The blinds have raised to 100/200. I get raised all in by a 1k stacker and I call. He lays down AJo and we split the pot. Hand 3 The next hand I manage to put an opponent all in pre-flop with KK and win another thousand. Hand 5 Two hands later I'm the big blind with pocket dueces (I now have 3190). UTG+3 (1k stack) limps (to 200), the small blind (1.1k) calls and I raise to 1k. The limper calls and loses when his A9s doesn't improve. Hand 6 The next hand I'm the small blind with A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]K[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]. The chip leader (4615, the same player as in the first hand) limps from CO and I raise to 900. The flop comes 8[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]5[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]K[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]. He checks, I raise (1500), he goes all in and I call. His 7[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]6[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] catches a 4 and I'm out. I felt like a maniac when playing these hands, but I guess it was just a run of good cards... Was it strategically incorrect to play this aggressively? Did I make any technical errors when playing the hands? |
