Here it is, 43 minutes of video: [broken link~tb] . Just a word of caution that my commentary gets a bit messed up at some point as I just say what's on the top of my mind and it seems as though my logic gets confused :D

There are a couple of mistakes I make, please comment on how I can improve.

watching it now

The gutshot straight flush draw, I probably just raise the flop and call a shove. Limping the SB then betting out is often bluffs, and he can of course have weak kings or jacks there, so we have lots of fold equity and of course good equity if we get called. Plus it sucks when you call and are faced with a turn bet where you have little to no FE :)

addon period, that was kind of odd that they gave you those rebuy & addon options (usually just add on), but I would ALWAYS buy the most you can there.

27 mins

lol at the AQ vs AK hand

I think the shove was good too, he's been kind of aggressive and I think AJ, maybe ATs are in his range along with lots of pairs.

36 mins

clear call with the AJ, we can't possibly fold that.

~39 mins

I hate the limp with 55 - this is a clear raise in my book. Your hand has value and we want to be the aggressor in the hand since we're so often going to see an bad flop for our hand. If we limp he can basically push you around with most of his range and bet you off the best hand often.

As played preflop (which again, I really don't like), I check-raising AI on the flop is a viable play. When you're called you've got flush draw + set outs a lot of the time, but most of the time you're scaring out <KK pairs and unimproved AJ type hands. Definitely debatable, just throwing an idea out there.

and of course standard push with the AKs.

gg sir, the only thing I really didn't like was the 55, plus I think I open a few more of the hands that you folded.

The gutshot straight flush draw should have definately been played more agressively. I probably had 12 outs here, as the best I can only put him on is a pair.

Well, I'm sponsored, so the initial buy-in is all I got for this one. It is actually interesting to see that not many players in this tournament get a rebuy or an add-on (less than 200 of both when the field size is usually 1000+).

You're right here, its not good even if he checks behind as I probably see overcards and I will be out of position.

Does sound good, have to keep in mind next time. I think the real mistake the way I played it was to check the river, when I could have put a small 'value bet', now I just set myself upto be bluffed out of the pot. What do you think, was he bluffing here by betting just over my stack size?


I think I should record the commentary after the game from now on, as the way the microphone was setup it was rather uncomfortable to play.

While agreeing with Chuck's comments, there was only one other thing I seen that I was curious about. A6 bb you with aprox 5800 chips, sb is ss and pushes his 1500 chips, I may be wrong here but I'm pretty sure I would have called his all in. Might have taken him out there the next hand was the AJ vs AK with the same player where he doubled up. I'm sure Chuck will st8'n me out if I'm wrong;)

ul the last hand AKh vs 22, gg:)

Don't see such a hand. I think you're talking about the hand where the guy pushes UTG and I am sitting at UTG+1 with a A5os (At 34.40). I think this is a clear fold. He's gotta have something here, I figure I only got 3 outs most of the time.

Ya my bad, I went back and looked again. and you made the right play.

I can't even find such a hand I was talking about myself:eek:
