$3 NL Final Table - Key Hands (long)

Frenchie · #1 08-27-2004, 09:35 PM

Now that I have a seat for the main event for the 5 Diamonds event at the Bellagio in December, I am playing a lot of MTT to try to improve my play. My main problems is building a stack in the early part and making bad calls in the middle part.

So after reading some posts in the last few days, I think that I pinpoint some ways to fix these issues and here are some of the key hands on the way to the final table of tourney with 1990 players.

Hand 1:
No read on the table yet.

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t20 (9 handed) converter

Button (t1420)
SB (t1430)
BB (t3050)
Hero (t1450)
UTG+1 (t2860)
MP1 (t1740)
MP2 (t1945)
MP3 (t895)
CO (t1630)

Preflop: Hero is UTG with J[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img].
Hero raises to t80, 2 folds, MP2 calls t80, 3 folds, SB calls t70, 1 fold,

Flop: (t260) A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 5[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 2[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] (3 players)

Turn: (t1160) 9[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] (3 players)
SB checks, Hero checks, MP2 checks.

 Don't like my kicker that much after two calls but maybe I should have bet again.

River: (t1160) 6[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] (3 players)
SB bets t220, Hero calls t220, MP2 raises to t1565, SB calls t830 (All-In), Hero folds.

 I think that my call is ok but when MP2 comes over the top, I know my hand is no good

Final Pot: t3995

Results in white below: 
SB shows Ac Jd (one pair, aces).
MP2 shows 7d 8d (straight, nine high).
Outcome: MP2 wins t3995.

Turn: (t120) A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] (4 players)

River: (t550) T[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (2 players)
