Compunding decisions that span hands ... why weakness kills
I have not played a tourney this weak in a long time.
I am BB with 80 people left in bodog $15 - $10k Gauranteed (top 45 get cash) I have am 3rd in chips and chip leader at table with 11K (tourney chip leader has about 12k) Average stack will be ~9.9K at 45 left and ~44k at final table Blinds are 800/400 I am BB with 10 - 7 UTG has ~4.5k and opens with a min raise UTG +1 has 7K and calls Folds to me. Table is very aggressive, blinds are getting up there. Normal strategy for me is to sit and wait/trap especially with the chip lead but for 800 more I thought I would see the flop, maybe I should of pushed which is what I was going to do but decided to call instead. Flop: 6 - 8 - 10 with 2 hearts Mistake - I bet ~$1300 knowing SS has to push and I will call him. Should of pushed here or checked to bail out cheaper if didn't like UTG+1's push. UTG pushes UTG+1 pushes I fold ... talk about weak, and usually I push this everytime (top pair with a redraw to str8/flush) Anyhow, with this pot I would be almost double the next highest stack in the remaining field and if I lost It will be no easy task to make the cash. What happens a couple hands later was just about enough to make me sick to my stomach. If I had that chip lead I would of been in a pot with 4 other people all in (max 9k chips) total pot was around 29k instead I ended up mucking 77. I am MP with 77(~7k chips) and open the pot for 2k CO pushes button, SB, BB all call/push I fold of course since it is now about survival to bubble. ended up in 36th about where my play gauranteed I would be. |
