Big dissapointment at finale table again?

[sloth469]

Ok if you seriously had TT and folded; I am literally sick. Congrats on the payday I guess $800+ nothing to shake a stick at, but wasted opportunity. Do you see why?

i think you should log some SNG time.

Well, one thing is for sure. JayTrees asked himself the same questions and took me down.

I told my wife I was going down with this hand as I raised it, but CO's reraise smelled very bad to me. I figured I was up against AK at best, but used som time to think about my play the last 30 minutes. The weak play you guys just commented. I was opening up for the possibility of him smelling my tight/weak play and raising me with junk when time was about to run out. Sadly I folded to what he told to be 77.

The next hand I pushed back at the other smallstack's limitraise from SB with Q9, and he found his KJs to be a good call for all his chips.

The only play I am unhappy with is the one where I flopped TP nutflush draw, and to be honest my primary goal was 6th place, as it stakes me for the national championships.

Thank you for your comments, I need to work with my final table play and I need to work with risking it all.

Too bad it didn't work out this time, but i'm sure u could "skrape sammen" enough for the NM [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

One note about the fold, u had put 1/3 of your stack in the pot and would, after the fold, put in almost another 1/3 of the remaining stack in the blinds the next two hands. Then u would have had just 28000 chips left, which is just 3.5 big blinds. It is almost impossible to get the stack up again under those conditions.

Well, my S&amp;G is good, I think the problem with my MTT play is that I am afraid of dropping off in the steep payout-structure. In S&amp;G's I'm the one putting the other players to the test, as opposed to MTT's where I more than often find myself scratching my head from a big bet from villan

That guy was playing really fast, with 1010 I would have no fear of his raise. Next time a open push is the best play with 1010 in that position. Your play was okay if you wanted to get action, and intended to push or call a AI RR.

The fold was horrible sry.

LMAO, I'm not trying to be mean, but save your money.

correct me if i'm wrong but the all-in is laying you 3.5 to 1 (or is it 2.5?) and you have a very solid pair. at worst you're dominated 4 to 1, most like you're a flip against two paints, and at best you're 4 to 1. to me I call this, i've called with alot worse...(and lost)

[CoconutBaba]

Thank you for your reply, that's why I post here, to get better. I lose because of my fear of losing. Plain and simple. I did the raise with the intent of calling any RR AI, and chickened out.

I have now made my $10 into a ticket to the national championship (YES!!!), and I will spend the comming months turning Horrible plays like that into winning ones.
