Not a big fan of the hand when you raised to $40k and folded after the reraise. Congrats on the big payday.

It was a K9 steal. The all-in gave me slightly better than 3:2. So being liberal it's about an even money call. Therefore, I passed. I was better than everyone at that table, and I'm not taking a paper thin edge.

After the other guy reraised allin there was almost $200k in the pot and you had just over 100k left. Maybe instead of raising to from 12k to 40k you could have just raised to 30k, I think it would accomplish the same thing without making you as pot committed. The fold did end up moving you up a spot.

Well, I wasn't pot committed. I was getting just better than 3:2, as I said, to call. K9 vs his likely range probably had about 35% equity. Especially THAT particular guy, who was a High School Senior graduating today and was rooting like crazy for every big stack on the all-ins so he could move up spots. He wasn't going to risk 3/4 of his stack on a bluff.

Huh. Finished 9th tonight in a $30 625 man tournament. Maybe I'll play some higher buy-in MTTs....

Ty. It's not much money. In fact, these multis combined don't match the many nights I've had playing $30 SNGs. But hey, it's helped my confidence in these.
