Here is my review, I didnt comment on hands that seemed standard. Overall well played you took some risks I wouldnt have but you did win. I will say that you caught a ton of cards when you need them so thats a big plus.  I hope I didnt come off too strong on my remarks and hopefully its food for thought.

Hand 29 (55)  Pretty interesting that you bet the river and got that guy to fold on such an ugly board. I doubt I pull the trigger there.

Hand30 (QQ)  I like the check back on the flop we can rep the AK and when he bets there would be no reason to raise on such a dry board.  I think you lost the minimum on the hand and I like how you played it.  Clearly that river bet was begging for a call.

Hand 33 (TT) I like to cbet that flop and if not the flop I certainly firing the turn after its checked round twice and we have position.

Hand 53 (ATs) well played I would have lost a lot more on that flop with the nut flush and overs Im check raising almost 100%.

Hand 56 (88) UTG…bet way too much preflop imo

Hand 60 (AA)  when you reraise you made it huge you had 1/3 of your chips in play saying Im not folding but I want action. I think shoving looks weaker or a smaller 3net or evn flatting in position with the intentions of jamming the flop.  I just think as playede we got the minimum we could get from the hand.

 Hand 66 (AQo)  when you jam into the 838 flop I will tell you if I have a PP I snap it off almost everytime because it just smells of AK/AQ so much…glad he folded.

Hand  89 (99) when you raise the utg and your utg +1 I dont think you raised it enough. Your giving him such great odds to call and your fortunate to get that board. But if he calls and it come AJT your hating life.

Hand 93 (88) Is just sick!!!

Hand 101 (99)  Quads…you sir run goot!

Hand 107 (88)  on the flop we are getting about 4 to 1 with second pair and a gutter….I like the call.

Hand 120 (99)  I understand that your repping QJ on the turn with the half pot bet but when none of the flush draws get there and you over bet the river it just seems like a missed draw.  Because if you had the straight you would value bet it. I think you get looked up here often by two pair or Ax often because of that bet sizing imo.

Hand 124 ( 87)   I dont like the min raise from BB you gonna get called and be playing a bloated pot OOP with 87o.  The flop is KK5, you bet half pot what are you repping? Would you have min-raised AK like that preflop probably not. If you had a K would you bet or check there I dont know? But against a thinking player I suspect you will get called often and will you be firing the turn?  Me personally with that flop and you fire I often call the bet and if you check turn I fire with air or if you bet I raise with air.

Hand  149 (97)  On the flop when the shorty shove and a bigger stack isolates I dont know if I like the call with TP 9 kicker forabout 1/3 of our stack. I expect to see AK/AQ sometimes and we are gambling but I often expect 88 or 99 who didnt want to bloat preflop. But as I have noticed so far in this tourney you have ran extremely well.

Hand 168 (2T)  hate this open you have a guy two spots to your left with a great 3bet shove stack and guy in the SB with like 3 bigs left which you would have to call and show that hand.

Hand 171 (6Ts)  fold preflop even to the minraise imo

Hand  188 (QT) you have the nuts on the flop and you IP, I would have checked back the flop and hope he stabs turn or gets  a little something he can call with.

 Hand 195 (KTo)  I dont like the flat on the button against a  EP 3x open late and the SB has a 3bet shove stack.

 Hand 209 ( AJo) A short stack 3x utg thats a warning. Then we flat with AJ in the SB, put him all in or fold and imo I think its a fold because often we are dominated.

 Hand 218 (66) I dont like flatting 1/4 of our stack here with 66 we ship or fold imo.

 Hand 244 (K3)  when he fires turn I think we can fold TP no kick BvB.

 Hand 269 (JJ)  Dont like the normal raise size utg with JJ with about 14 bigs.  We have been shoving junk and now we bet like this? Plus with that bet size we could get called by hand and have to play JJ OOP and face a flop we dont like. Just jam it pre.

Hand  303 (KQ)  he call the flop bet with no draw and overs then we check turn as we dont improve and are OOP, it seems like we didnt have a plan and are spewing chips.

 Hand 353 (A8s)  we are raising the utg 3x preflop raiser OOP with a dominated Ax hand…not sure I like this but it worked so nice hand.

 Hand 374 (KK)  cooler

Heads up way to battle back for the win.

To answer lespaulgmans question. Here is what Im looking at. Asumming we are behind we have probably 6 outs (887777) if we multiply tha by 4 with two cards to come we have about 24% equity.  The pot is 12735 and we have to call 4275 its about 3 to 1. So we would have to have about 33% equity to call, thats assuming we are behind and this guy didnt spaz with over cards. If we call and lose we still have 128 bigs.  So  I fudge the numbers a little bit for the fact that he could be bluffing and the fact that we are still very deep.  Its close I see an argument for a fold also.  If the other player was deep also I probably would consider the fold because we wouldnt be getting the best price and we are OOP and there is no guarantee that we would have the implied odds if we spike a 7.  Also if I had a smaller stack I would also be considering saving my chips.  I dont thin its grossly +EV or -EV.

Jdog….if we are 3:1 then we only need 25% equity….1 out 4 times (3 times lose, 1 times win).

Sorry for not doing a HH review yet. I'm running like shit the last 2 weeks and my confidence is super shot….

Hey JDog, thanks for your review. Again, I really appreciate you taking the time to go over it. You provide some really good insights and have given me lots of 'food for thought' so that's great! I've added my comments below and there's a few questions where I'm not exactly sure of your thoughts – could you take a look?

Thanks again and good luck at the tables

Hand 29 (55)  Pretty interesting that you bet the river and got that guy to fold on such an ugly board. I doubt I pull the trigger there.

 When he checks back the turn and the fourth club hits I felt he was going to have a really hard time calling without a club so I turned my hand into a bluff.

Hand30 (QQ)  I like the check back on the flop we can rep the AK and when he bets there would be no reason to raise on such a dry board.  I think you lost the minimum on the hand and I like how you played it.  Clearly that river bet was begging for a call.

Hand 33 (TT) I like to cbet that flop and if not the flop I certainly firing the turn after its checked round twice and we have position.

 

Yeah I like the bet on the turn when checked to twice since we can probably check back the river if called.

 

Hand 53 (ATs) well played I would have lost a lot more on that flop with the nut flush and overs Im check raising almost 100%.

 

Yeah, looking back at this I'm unsure as to why I didn't check raise this flop. I guess I felt the cbet was so small that he was giving me a good price to call with. When he bets so big on the turn I just get out as I'm not getting the right odds even though I'm pretty sure he has a big pair.

Hand 56 (88) UTG…bet way too much preflop imo

 

Yeah, I have no memory of raising this much. I'd usually make it between 285-300 here so I'm not sure what I'm doing here! The replayer messed up one of the hands so I'm not sure if it does the same here – unless I was trying to make it 280 and misclicked. But yeah, you're right – waaaaaay too much!

 

Hand 60 (AA)  when you reraise you made it huge you had 1/3 of your chips in play saying Im not folding but I want action. I think shoving looks weaker or a smaller 3net or evn flatting in position with the intentions of jamming the flop.  I just think as playede we got the minimum we could get from the hand.

 

Yeah, absolutely. Again, I'm not sure why I'm raising so much here. Looking at it, it's 3x a 3xBB open so I think I must have misread the bet sizing :-/ I'm not sure with 41BBs if I like flatting preflop as it lets too many other people in as it's only a minraise. I'd prefer to flat at between 12-20BB even though this looks really strong to a thinking player. I like the smaller 3bet – how much would you suggest? Somewhere between 550 and 800?

 

 Hand 66 (AQo)  when you jam into the 838 flop I will tell you if I have a PP I snap it off almost everytime because it just smells of AK/AQ so much…glad he folded.

 

Yeah I think you're right. I mentioned in lespaul's post that I wondered about checking preflop here – what do you think? Do you think as played I should be bet/folding on the flop?

 

Hand  89 (99) when you raise the utg and your utg +1 I dont think you raised it enough. Your giving him such great odds to call and your fortunate to get that board. But if he calls and it come AJT your hating life.

 

Yeah I didn't see the UTG limp – should've (and would've normally) made it more like 835 here!

 

Hand 93 (88) Is just sick!!!

Hand 101 (99)  Quads…you sir run goot!

Hand 107 (88)  on the flop we are getting about 4 to 1 with second pair and a gutter….I like the call.

Hand 120 (99)  I understand that your repping QJ on the turn with the half pot bet but when none of the flush draws get there and you over bet the river it just seems like a missed draw.  Because if you had the straight you would value bet it. I think you get looked up here often by two pair or Ax often because of that bet sizing imo.

 

Again, I think this is a good shout. I bet so big on the river to put his tournament life on the line as he had shown weakness in checking the flop, just calling the turn and checking the river. Do you think I should cbet this flop?

 

Hand 124 ( 87)   I dont like the min raise from BB you gonna get called and be playing a bloated pot OOP with 87o.  The flop is KK5, you bet half pot what are you repping? Would you have min-raised AK like that preflop probably not. If you had a K would you bet or check there I dont know? But against a thinking player I suspect you will get called often and will you be firing the turn?  Me personally with that flop and you fire I often call the bet and if you check turn I fire with air or if you bet I raise with air.

 

Yeah, I'm not sure what I was doing here – this doesn't seem like a play I would normally make. If I was going to raise from the BB against a limper I'd make it 4x +1BB per limper. It looks to me like a misclick that I followed through on!

Hand  149 (97)  On the flop when the shorty shove and a bigger stack isolates I dont know if I like the call with TP 9 kicker forabout 1/3 of our stack. I expect to see AK/AQ sometimes and we are gambling but I often expect 88 or 99 who didnt want to bloat preflop. But as I have noticed so far in this tourney you have ran extremely well.

 

The Button is the only person to bet on the flop and whilst I need 43.6% equity against his range I think I should've been more worried about the other players yet to act. The shorty is already all-in preflop and I called the extra bit due to great odds. And if I called I knew I'd still have almost 100BB. Can you take a look at this one again and see if you agree that it's a call on the flop since the shorty is all-in pre? And that it's only 1/4-1/5th of our stack?

 

Hand 168 (2T)  hate this open you have a guy two spots to your left with a great 3bet shove stack and guy in the SB with like 3 bigs left which you would have to call and show that hand.

 

Yeah you're absolutely right. This is definitely something I need to look at – I need to look at stack sizes behind before opening. SB was 6/0 over 17 hands and I think this was quite close to the bubble so he was folding everything just trying to make the money.

 

Hand 171 (6Ts)  fold preflop even to the minraise imo

 

Hand  188 (QT) you have the nuts on the flop and you IP, I would have checked back the flop and hope he stabs turn or gets  a little something he can call with.

 

Yeah I think you're right. I hate these spots where you bet hoping for a call and they just fold! I like the check on the flop hoping he catches up on the turn. There's no flush draw so I shouldn't be worried about that either. 

 

 Hand 195 (KTo)  I dont like the flat on the button against a  EP 3x open late and the SB has a 3bet shove stack.

 

Yeah I hate this flat.

 

 Hand 209 ( AJo) A short stack 3x utg thats a warning. Then we flat with AJ in the SB, put him all in or fold and imo I think its a fold because often we are dominated.

 

I agree this is a shove/fold pre. Again, I'm not sure if this was a misclick call and then I made it worse by shoving the flop. Horrible hand.

 

 Hand 218 (66) I dont like flatting 1/4 of our stack here with 66 we ship or fold imo.

 

Yeah this is horrible as well! I guess I was flatting in the hope of just playing against the original raiser, but not wanting to risk it against the other players behind. Can I say it was a misclick again? Probably not… 🙂

 

 Hand 244 (K3)  when he fires turn I think we can fold TP no kick BvB.

 

Yeah I like the fold on the turn.

 

 Hand 269 (JJ)  Dont like the normal raise size utg with JJ with about 14 bigs.  We have been shoving junk and now we bet like this? Plus with that bet size we could get called by hand and have to play JJ OOP and face a flop we dont like. Just jam it pre.

 

Yeah, I should definitely be just shoving here. Not sure why I didn't – guess I wanted someone to come along, but you're definitely right that there could've been some really ugly flops! I'll shove next time.

 

Hand  303 (KQ)  he call the flop bet with no draw and overs then we check turn as we dont improve and are OOP, it seems like we didnt have a plan and are spewing chips.

 

Yeah, ultra-spew here! I guess folding preflop is probably the best plan!

 

 Hand 353 (A8s)  we are raising the utg 3x preflop raiser OOP with a dominated Ax hand…not sure I like this but it worked so nice hand.

 

Original raiser had been raising a tonne so I wanted to make sure he didn't run the table over. Not sure I really had a plan post flop though. He was also 90% (9/10) for folding to 3bets!

 

 Hand 374 (KK)  cooler

Heads up way to battle back for the win.

 

Thanks very much! 🙂

Somewhere round 600 IM0

Because if you had the straight you would value bet it. I think you get looked up here often by two pair or Ax often because of that bet sizing imo.

Yes you were the prflop raiser from MP and its HU IP we can rep so much on that flop. Once we check we most certainly dont have that strong of a hand.

Hand 149 (97) On the flop when the shorty shove and a bigger stack isolates I dont know if I like the call with TP 9 kicker forabout 1/3 of our stack. I expect to see AK/AQ sometimes and we are gambling but I often expect 88 or 99 who didnt want to bloat preflop. But as I have noticed so far in this tourney you have ran extremely well.

Well we are getting just a little better than 2 to 1 to call. Its a gamble for certain, I dont hate it since we have a big stack but if we had say a 55K stack I would let it go.
