I miss playing the PCL, it was a good league to play in.
I bought a week at Hard Rock for a vacation and talked wife into going there b/c 5 star and nice resort. Reasonable price from Toronto – $3k Cdn for 1 week at resort, airfare. They have a $200 Satellite on Monday & Tuesday so going to try to Sat into event, otherwise I will pay to play. I have tried to win a package on Doyle's Room, a lot of FT and deep runs but bad beats to bust out. They have a few 5 & 10 package guarentees in October I may try but $100 re-buys and would need to sell them anyways if I won a package.
Let me know if you make it down, I will buy you a beer.
Trip Advisor you can get a feel for the amenities and resort itself. Trust the more positive reviews, excellent rooms,
never had a problem finding good food or things to do at the resort. We my wife had 2 visits to the spa & I had one. Very relaxing. Unfortunately, I did not get to play golf, but the course looks in excellent conditions and people I
spoke to who played it had only positive things to say about it.
for a week at a 5 star resort in Punta Cana and this resort is now on my top resort list for this area.
poor play on the late night in the satellite (not to bed until 3:30 AM and up at 9:00 to take baby to pool to play) plus end of the day (1:00AM). You can rip my play apart below, the Q8 & AK hands. A lot may be due to limited live play,
this was my 5th live tournament.
if BB calls, I have a good hand to knock him out.
make it. Any options here other then folding? Is this a standard shove spot in
this type of satellite so close to the payout as he knows I have to fold all but AA KK QQ and maybe AK?
has been lucky and up to over $100K.
big of a bet. I flat for $5.5K.

nice writeup
Hand 1:
im not sure what the raise to 15k is for – yes, it might put him all in, but i doubt the bb is going to flat after the sb folds, so making it 11k has the same effect as making it 15, except for the obvious case when the sb shoves on you.
another option is just to open shove yourself which is higher variance but i dont think its a bad play as it takes the resteal play away from the sb
Hand 2: im not sure you have told us what your hand is. i cant see it
Hand 3:
I would definitely bet the flop and probably look to get it in on that board. as played on the river, are you trying to bet as a bluff or for value? i actually think you can bet that for thin value a lot of the time, worse aces will call you down a lot on that board i think. if you were trying to bluff, i would much rather check and hope to get to showdown as i think you have showdown value.
Second hand was any two cards, playing the situation more then anything. My cards were Q8 off.
Last hand the river bet was more of a bluff if he had weak ace or small pair.
First hand was 3x instead of my normal 2.1x or $11k open. $15k more then covered BB.
If I learn from the mistakes then there is value. Thanks for input.
I can post complete hands and results latter if ppl wish.
