Full Tilt MTT Frusteration Hand (long-ish)
This was about an hour into a Full Tilt $5 MTT and already most of the entries were gone.
I had picked up a tell on villian where when he's trying to steal the pot he waits a long time before doing anything, and he bets quickly when he has it. There had just been a hand where I had reraised his pot steal attempt and he folded, so this example could be his unwillingness to let me "resteal" (even though I had the cards). Before the hand I had roughly 20k and villian had around 8k. Villian was a tight-ish, but he enjoyed his trick of missing the flop completely and then stealing it, apparently once he called the blind he felt he was pot committed and could not fold. I was just waiting for the opportunity to burn him. Dealer: Hand #54790742 Dealer: Villian posts the small blind of 80 Dealer: BB posts the big blind of 160 Dealer: You have been dealt [8c 9d] Dealer: UTG folds Dealer: UTG+1 folds Dealer: Hero calls 160 Dealer: MP2 folds Dealer: MP3 raises to 320 Dealer: CO 4me folds Dealer: Button folds Dealer: Villian calls 240 Dealer: BB folds Dealer: Hero calls 160 Dealer: The flop is [8h 3c 7s] Dealer: Villian has 15 seconds left to act Dealer: Villian bets 400 Dealer: Hero raises to 2,000 Dealer: MP3 folds Dealer: Villian calls 1,600 Dealer: The turn is [4s] Dealer: Villian bets 1,000 Dealer: Hero raises to 3,000 Dealer: Villian raises to 5,000 Dealer: Hero calls 2,000 Dealer: The river is [Ts] Dealer: Villian bets 554, and is all in Dealer: Hero calls 554 Dealer: Villian shows a pair of Tens Dealer: Hero mucks Dealer: Villian wins the pot (16,228) with a pair of Tens BTW the reason I called with 8 9o was because I had a big stack and was playing really tight and so far the only cards my opponents had seen were kings queens and ace king. And I thought it would be correct to mix it up a little especially because the blinds were nothing to me My reasoning post flop: The flop was exactly what I wanted. I knew I had the best hand, and I figured this would be my big opportunity to burn villian. So I raised big to try and take the pot right after the flop, but villian called. He must've assumed I was trying to resteal the pot from him again. When the turn was another brick I made a huge raise and he reraised. This worried me a little, but by now he only had a few more chips compared to the pot so I stuck it out and then on the river he put his last 500 chips in rather quickly which also scared me a little. He turned over Ace Ten. He had gotten his card a %12 chance going into the river. I tried to get him out of the hand before he could see any more cards but he was too stubborn and stayed in...and then it bit me in the ass. Is there something I should've done differently? Bigger bet after the flop? -LC |

Re: Full Tilt MTT Frusteration Hand (long-ish)
I think you should have pushed him all in on the flop or on the turn, I mean a pair of 8's by no means is a strong hand and is very weak to over cards. I do not think he would have called off his case chips on ace high, however he was willing to bet them.
Big difference |

Re: Full Tilt MTT Frusteration Hand (long-ish)
I dont see how that would have mattered since the villian only had 554 on the river.
Looks like good play to me, he was just a lucky fish. |

Re: Full Tilt MTT Frusteration Hand (long-ish)
Ya, welcome to low stakes multis. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] You get either loose-passives calling you down, or loose-aggressives reraising you. That's the reason there are so many beats at that level - nobody folds. Almost ever hand goes to a showdown.
You played it fine given your reads, but I like the push on the flop or turn even better. All-in is about all these guys respect and even then it's not much. If you wanted an ounce of fold equity you needed to push against this guy. He'd probably still call, but it would be an even worse play than the ones he made. |
