Great report, thanks for taking the time to post it.

Quick question. I know you made Blind Steals but did you make and Blind Re-Steals? (none, few, many etc). I have been using them more and there are a many posts on them however I seem to get myself into trouble by trying to re-steal when someone has a real hand.

Thanks

I don't think I ever re-stole (re-stealed?) in this tournament, if you define it to mean that you don't have much of a hand (obviously I came over the top of raises with QQ a couple of times, but that could hardly be called a "steal"). Essentially I never ended up in a situation with a super-aggressive player on my right who I felt was constantly raising my blind, so I never really felt like a resteal was called for in this tournament.

Restealing is a nice move, but you have to be quite careful with it, as it can cost you all your chips when it fails. I may be a little too conservative about it, but I usually don't do it unless someone is really aggressively attacking the blinds repeatedly. Generally speaking in these big Party tournaments there are so many bad players, I think that mostly sticking to "put your money in when you have the best hand" is the most profitable way to play most of the time. Now towards the end when most of the players left are pretty good, there could be some restealing opportunities, but I never really felt like I had one this time.

Wouldn't hand #19 be considered a luck box hand as well [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

Excellent job making the final table though!

Well sort of, but the guy with AA had only 2000 chips anyway. Even if he'd won the main pot, I still would have been up for the and with the side pot.
