This is my first ever post in any forum guys so please be gentle
Hear i am 4 away from making my biggest final table appearance online playing the $109 KO series Fast on partypoker ($10.5k for first plus about $4/5k in bounties to the eventual winner). I have 8 million chips pretty much guaranteed final table appearance and i throw it all away and get knocked out in 12th position when a few hands before i was 5th of 12.
So this is how i let myself down big time. And guys please can you let me know how you guys would have played these hands differently and if you would or would not open with them in the first please.
12 left 2 tables of 6.
Hand 1.
We are in the c/off with 4s4d (28bb deep), we open for 2.1bb (I would normally not open this hand 8 or 9 handed with being this shallow in chips even though i was above average).
BT who doubled up a hand or two ago now jamms all-in for 14bb. Now this is where i'm not too sure if i made a big mistake or only a small one. This player had a $570 Bounty on his head which changes the equity value of my hand in this situation for me. This is a hand i would fold hear normally once i get jammed on with only 28bb behind.
So i ended up calling. He had TTs, flop came 5s6s7s and than blank on turn and river. Tbh i think i should have preserved my chips rather than gambling them hear.
So hand 1 again.
Hero 4s4d (28bb) opens to 2.1bb from c/off (6 handed), BT (14bb) jamms with a $570 bounty. Hero calls and doesn't get lucky.
Straight after the second mistake happened.
Hand 2. We hold KQo in HJ with 14bb, we jamm all-in and get cold by bb (11bb), who had A9o. Flop came JT7xx no A,9,K,Q. Player won with A high card.
Now after going through this hand over in my head what i think i should have done is Opened and folded if someone came in with a 3bet. Or maybe folded and taken a break after losing with 44s.
Now down to 3bb Hand 3.
Had J9o on BB c/off opens to 2x, we jamm with J9o and get lucky hitting a 9 and holding up.
Hand 4. We hold T8s on the sb with (8.5bb). Folds to us and we Jamm all-in and get snapped by BB who is the one who had TTs. This time he had AQo. Even though he hit an As on the flop we had out still with a flush draw and backdoor straight. Didn't happen and here we are writing about what could have been.
All these hands were one after the other. In 4 hands we went from 7+million to KOd in 12th.
One more hand guys, this is a few hands before all this chaos, I think this situation was a great spot to Iso considering the ICM implications.
Hand 5, (12 left)
Hero held J9dd on the c/off with 30bb behind. UTG min raises (20bb), HJ calls (31bb) and i was very tempted to ISO hear with J9dd. The players that were left weren't really looking to take High variance spots at this stage of the tournament, like me :icon_pale:vollkomme
What do you guys think of my thinking hear.
BTW guys is there a free software programme like Icmizer or an App on mobile that could be used to calculate what hands to open, shove, and fold so close to the final table and big money jumps.
Thank you too all that will be viewing and hopefully sharing my first ever post and giving there feedbacks.
