$5 ITM Hand History (VERY LONG)

[Damian UK]

Hello All

Below is a VERY long HH from an ITM game I have just played.

I am trying to play more aggressively on the bubble and ITM and to become more of a pushbot (and I got moaned at as well!! LOL). From the last 5, I pushed more hands if I raised/re-raised and it got me from around 3K to the 9+K I started the ITM with.

I appreciate that the post is very long, but is there anything I am doing wrong in terms of bullying people with a large chip stack? This is the first time I feel I really played very aggressively with the big stack (and yet managed to lose the chip lead to come 2nd).

There were a couple of hands HU when the villian pushed and I folded, should I/would you have called with those hands? (highlighted in <font color="green"> green </font>)

All criticism is welcome as I feel I am getting close to playing better and (hopefully) regularly beating the low buy-in games, and insights from the forum would help.

Thanks

Damian
ps this is on Chandlers, 9 players starting stack 1500
