Avoid playing with pockets 3-3 4-4 If the stack allows you to wait for a good card, then you need to wait, if the table is aggressive, then I think you know that throwing off is normal. Just don’t stake if you’re not sure about your hand, because after the flop you can just give away chips. And most importantly, do not be afraid to lose as you will fold all the cards ...

So you play at such a level of the tournament, and do all - in from 5-5? Crazy I watched the distribution, with full chaos. You raised. It depends on how you want to play at the table. There is a game so as not to show the cards, then you can play bluff and take risks. Or you can call him and show that you have a strong hand, and the next time he will be sure that you have something. And you will have the opportunity to crank it again only without full chaos I hope I informed you as it all translates through Google.

1st hand: AJo you definitely played fine. Loved the bet sizing and that you got value on every street. If the river doesn’t come an ace, I might consider checking for pot control. It gives your opponent a chance to bluff with a worse hand, and protects you from getting raised if they’ve made a stronger hand.

2nd hand: seemed fine to me!

3rd hand: nice fold. I think one of them has AKs and another has an overpair to your TT. I wouldn’t be very happy about getting into a pot in that situation. Those UTG limp raisers are typically holding something premium.

4th hand: You must c-bet the flop just as you would in any other hand. Villain could think you’re bluffing, or they could have an ace or a pocket pair, or perhaps a flush draw which you definitely are going to need to set a price for. You also don’t have a spade in your hand, making it a bit more likely that villain could have 1 or 2. Same advice for the turn. If you’re gonna check behind on the flop then you must bet the turn. You gave your opponent 2 free cards, when plenty of hands in his range will at least call a flop bet, and might’ve called 2 streets.

5th hand: I’m glad it worked out for you, but avoid doing that at all costs. Your line doesn’t make any sense at all. If you’re representing a Q then you wouldn’t check a turn after check-raising a QQJ flop. I know it’s a diamond so you can “act scared” of it but most folk with a Q here will check the turn. Your river shove was just asking for trouble. Your opponent might’ve hit their hand on the turn and decided to deceptively check behind, hoping you’d shove the river. Or maybe they had a weak Q and no longer wanted to be the aggressor, but also doesn’t plan to fold? Villain could’ve also had T9, and rivered a straight. As played just check the river, because a thinking opponent will see straight through that bluff if they have any decent piece of the board.

6th hand: I like the call pre flop, but I think I check flop, and either call down if villain decides to fire a barrel or two, or bet both turn and river for value. The check on the flop will control the pot size (which is good with just a pair and a decent-ish kicker), while keeping your hand disguised and inducing a potential bluff from weaker hands on the turn and maybe river. As you played it the flop bet was fine, and I like the check on the turn as it controls the pot, and might induce a river bluff. But you did miss value by not betting the river. Plenty of losing hands in opponents range will call you here.

7th hand: I like your 3-bet size, and great job getting him all in. Not knowing his hand, I might still like a flop bet here. It’s not necessarily a safe board for you, as plenty of draws loom that are within villain’s range. If you had the ace of clubs in your hand, I would be much more comfortable slow playing, but I tend to c-bet on most flops, and as players start to know that about me it disguises my monster hands very well.

8th hand: Love the way you played it, until the river bet. I know it ultimately won you more chips, but it obviously gave you a very tough decision. I prefer to check there, hoping to induce a bluff from worse hands, and if I’m beat I didn’t have to call off such a significant portion of my stack. Nice call though!!!

9th hand: yeah you can call there for sure.

10th: That is a very tough decision and I think must be read dependent. If player is loose, go ahead and call. If player’s been tight, I might find the fold button because best case scenario villain has 99, TT or AK, with AA-QQ obviously in the range as well.


Just keep playing your normal game, it seems to be working. No hand was played poorly besides maybe the big bluff hand. I would avoid major bluffs like that, they aren’t what win tournaments. Picking up small pots while attacking the blinds is a great way to do it, and when you get your monster hands, simultaneously protect them while you try and get them all in the middle.

As you near the bubble, pin point And attack the blinds of the players who are taking their time in order to sneak into the money. They are playing scared and don’t want to get out. This is a major opportunity to pick up chips. Gobbling up those blinds and antes will give you enough fuel to play your big hands. Just be careful, if the scared ones play back at you then I would tend to assume they’re holding the goods.

Good luck and let us know how it goes! Look below my reply here at my signature, it’s the best advice I can give someone. If you’re always thinking about those things at every decision point, you’ll be a better player for it.

WOW! Thanks alot for those very good inputs on evry hand, u clearly used of ur own personaly time to go true my hands and help me as best u could <3
Very appreciate of that! I will write down ur signature and have it on a note on Sunday!

When i played the 10/10 where i called all inn on river i remember thinking about how the guy raising(And most guys in this tournament) me had much more winnings on gg than me and i had been playing fairly tight making him think its a bigger chanse of me to fold against his all inn raise! That helped in making me brave to call and i tought with his 3 bet preflop after i opened from UTG I tought he never has a jack and i was thinking he often will have AK/AQ with a hearth(Or even KQ/A10) and tought after a while i have to call cause and how its just unlucky if he has AA/KK or QQ and slowplayed them like that! Atleast i like to not give much runners when i have AA/KK/QQ and if he had AA or KK maybe he would even 3 bet smaller preflop cause of his hand streanght he dont want me to fold? I had allso decided before the tournament i would reffuse to play scared like i often do when i play some bigger tournament like this and had done the day before trying this tournament for the first time where i was 2 scared and 2 tight, second attempt here as u see whent bether but i was super lucky allso doh! Especially with the JJ flip against AQ, remember the devastation when i saw the Q on flop but finally i was really lucky with J on turn when it really mathers <3

Can u explain to me what u mean with effektive stack sizing?

Thanks alot dude and i will report back to u on sunday!

Can u explain to me what u mean with effektive stack sizing?

The effective stack size is how many chips you stand to lose (Or win) in a given situation. Let’s say there’s just two players left in a hand. You have 2000 chips and the other player has 1000. The effective stack size is just 1000, as it is the most chips that you can lose (Or win) in the hand. Losing or winning any more would be impossible.

Let’s say there were 3 players left in a hand. You have 2000 chips on the button, SB has 3000 chips, and BB has 1000 chips. The effective stack size at this moment is 2000, because it is possible you could lose all your chips. Let’s say you raise, the SB folds, and the BB calls. The effective stack size goes back to 1000, as it is the most amount of chips either player could lose (or win).

You can play your hands accordingly.

The Pricepool has allredy reached over 914k and its been increased to 101K dollars for first place! 6,7K for 9th, Top 103 is 992Dollars! And out of 2714 who reached day 2 2471 will get payed! So im guessing within the first 30 minuters or even much faster we will reach they money!

I never mentioned how many big blinds we are at! Blinds will start at 5000/10000 with antes beeing 1000 and 15minute blind levels!

So im at 44BB! So im guessing i should trie focus the smaller stacks at the table to take their blinds in the start if stuff like evrything gets folded to me and im on button or 1-2 positonts before buttion i can open a quite half wide range of hands like suited connecters and A suited
Broadway cards and even stuff like 8/9 suited 7/10 suited and hands like this should be raised with to build a immage on the table in the start then tighten up abit after so people atleast dont see me as the tightest and most scared player in the start?

What would be ur plan entering this tournament if u where me with 44BB?
Just relaxe and not think about the pricejumps 2 much before they ofc really get big?

Play the same game you been playing till you reach the top 90. You shouldn't deviate and change your game play or style to something you are not comfortable with.

Well the first step now if you had so much time in it is definitely to reach the money.
I would say that don't be so aggressive with 44BB.
You can raise 2-3 BB if you are in great position with 8-9 suited etc. but you'll have not so many occassions to do this. If someone reraising you or attack you at a flop where you are not connected, you have to definitely fold and not to bluff now.
Tight game can lead you big prizes as well. It's your choice. You can get nice chips from them with premium hands as well.
As far as I saw your hands that you posted in the thread, you did a nice job, so keep continue brother.

I'm going to offer you some generic advice, but first..

Hearty congratulations on the great achievement of making day 2! :congrats:

2,243/16,793 is in itself a good job and you are going to do much better with that nice, juicy, over-average stack of yours!

Now firstly, and most importantly, relax.

I know it seems like a daunting, nerve-wracking moment, but it needn't be.

If you relax and enjoy it, the whole experience will be better regardless of the outcomes (win/lose/disaster/glory).

It wasn't an accident that you find yourself here- you played your way to where you are and your A game can take you into great success here.

Be patient. Take your time. Wait for great spots to get involved and made, strong hands before being willing to commit significant portions of your stack.

Your stack size holds great equity here, be mindful to preserve & build on that!

Here is probably going to be the best bit of my generic advices:-

Choose your battles wisely.

Be extremely observant of your opponents & their stack sizes.

As frequently as possible, select to go up against people who you have well covered and avoid (or be very cautious about) entering pots Vs opponents who cover you.

Play it one hand (and one table) at a time.

With the exception of considering ICM situations, do your best to forget about the money & pay jumps.

Just do you thing, be alert for any chances to steal blinds from position or with strong holdings and vigilant with regards to protecting your stack size- don't over commit on the draw and end up having to fold away 20-40% of your stack on the turn or river.

Avoid doing that by taking little stabs, but folding to significant aggression/large re-raises.

Apologies if this is all useless, inane waffle!

Resolve yourself to finishing in a top two spot, first or second. :wink:

First affirmation: get ITM.

Second affirmation: make FT.

Third affirmation: finish top two.

Fourth affirmation: Kick back, have a refreshing beverage then rinse & repeat! :wink:

I believe in you!

We can consciously/subconsciously aim to win the tournament without exerting undue pressure on ourselves to do so, or having unrealistic expectations say, for example:- that we will win every tournament we play.

Does that make sense?

If we play well & things go our way- we can win any tournament we play.

Part of the beauty of our game is that the best player in the world can lose to someone who learnt it five minutes ago! :biggrin:

So it is not unreasonable to hope & aim to win every tournament we play, but it would be foolish to expect to win every tournament we play! :wink:

Part of the way you will be able to relax (which will then in turn free you up to be able to play some solid, kick-ass poker) is that you recognise and accept that you might not win this one, this time. If you don't make the top X amount of people- that's ok.

Whether you finish 1st, 2nd, 50th, 500th or 999th- you're going to enjoy it like the roller coaster it is.

The other thing that will help you stay focused is concentrating on the things you can control (i.e. your decisions) and forgetting/not worry about the things out of your control (i.e. how the cards fall)

If you put all your positive energy into hawk-like observation & analysis of your opponents, and careful consideration into your own moves/plays instead of wasteful negative thoughts that creep in when the board goes exactly the opposite of what you wanted- you'll be able to guide this as far as you can! :wink:

Remember- don't get disheartened by things out of your control.

As for realistic expectations, such things are subjective- I can only tell you what mine might be, not what yours should be. As reference, if I was in your situation...

There are 2,243 people left. I have a bit over average stack, which is a great position to be in at this stage. I will do everything in my power to ensure I finish at least 1,122nd*. My supreme goal is to finish 1st/2nd, via first making it ITM and then making the FT.

*Making top 50% of the remaining field shouldn't be difficult (chances are you'd achieve it by just sitting out), without knowing how shallow the average is- short stacks will be busting out as they try to get back into the running. This is why I advise patience & wait for good spots to build your stack. Even just taking the blinds down is a big victory.

P.S. Heck, I'm super pumped for you after all this teamtalk, even I want to rail you now and I'm not sure we've ever spoken before , hahaha!

Also put a 'checkpoint' affirmation between getting ITM and making the FT..

Somewhere right in the middle. It'll bridge that time gap nicely! :biggrin:

For example, getting past the 1,122nd point might coincidentally be around halfway from ITM to the FT.

Once we go past that checkpoint marker we can relax in our subconscious even further because not only are we doing great but we've then already gone past our 'minimum expectation' which relieves any pressure on the result... :wink:

Also put a 'checkpoint' affirmation between getting ITM and making the FT..

Somewhere right in the middle. It'll bridge that time gap nicely! :biggrin:

For example, getting past the 1,122nd point might coincidentally be around halfway from ITM to the FT.

Once we go past that checkpoint marker we can relax in our subconscious even further because not only are we doing great but we've then already gone past our 'minimum expectation' which relieves any pressure on the result... :wink:



Yeah right in the middle has change doh! Today we started with 4000 players and down to 2500 now and im ranked 700 atm after making a full doubble up after i reached the money with QQ against AK all inn preflop!
So now i dont think about money jumps before we are closing in to maybe 500 players then ill start checking them :)
