Re: *Official* Stars 350k Guarenteed Sunday
Hey Chuck:
Congrats on the big win! I finished 54th (sn: Sugar D) and was busted by none other than you. I have a question regarding the hand that ended my night. I was one seat to your left in the CO. I had like 103,000 in chips and you had the big stack at the table, around 400,000. I believe the blinds were 5,000-10,000. You raised preflop to around 3x BB and I moved in. You thought for a long time and called. You had 96c and I had A5o. You rivered a straight and sent me packing. Assuming you remember this hand, i was wondering what made you call. Pot odds too attractive? Just a nebulous feeling? Congrats again man. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] |

Re: *Official* Stars 350k Guarenteed Sunday
Hey Sugar D, there were a number of bad beats that I dealt out. I was VERY lucky in that tourney. Yours may have been a bad call -> the pot odds were probably in my favor, but pot odds were not attractive enough to justify the call. I remember that hand, I raised to 30k PF and your all in was another 70K. That meant for 70K I was playing for 130K or 64/36 pot odds. I called for several reasons: 1)table image -> I was running over pots, and I want reraisers to know that I'll call with ANYTHING if the pot odds are right 2)table image -> I know that people see me as a loose blind stealer (which I was) so I know that they'll push with far less than a good hand 3) My impression of you -> I don't think you were playing well at that point, without seeing your cards, I felt you made some bad plays. I thought that you were desperate and willing to take an advantage as low as ace high (though I expected AJoff) 4)suitedness, connectability and the low chance of domination (you won't have A9). 5) odds of winning the pot -> I gave myself 40/60. If I had had less chips, I might have folded, but I felt I had enough to accept these pot odds which also gave me intangible benefits (future blind steals less likely to be contested).
I do not like dealing out bad beats, especially with so much money involved, but I felt the responsible thing to do was to call. Good tourney, and again, I'm sorry for the bad beat. CSC |

Re: *Official* Stars 350k Guarenteed Sunday
Hey Chuck. Thanks for the reply. Interesting how different players like to treat big-stackedness.
From my perspective, I felt you were trying to run over the table, was pretty certain i had the best hand, and tried to stop your momentum. And I can't say i was unhappy when you called and turned over trash. Those are the type of hands you have to win if you are going to make the final table. As for #3, I think I made perhaps one poor play at that stage of the tournament with you at my table (involving a hand where i held 99, the flop came jack high and uncoordinated, and a continuation bet was made in my direction). I don't think I was involved in too many pots while you were there, but I could be wrong. Congrats again! [ QUOTE ] Hey Sugar D, there were a number of bad beats that I dealt out.
