Anyone interested in analyzing a run I had in one of those $3+R tourneys?

Chris? Maybe a vid? :smile:

Since you have done a couple of these for me, I would be glad to look at it. I know I am probably not up to your level of play but I would be happy to look it over if u want me to.

Skold PM'ed me too; I'm just going to post it as a download for anyone who wants to take a peek, any input or criticism is very welcome.

MEGAUPLOAD - The leading online storage and file delivery service

A few things to note: one is that I'm an absolute maniac in the rebuy period in this one. I'd even say don't analyze the first hour (up to 100/200 I believe?) because it's just me going nuts trying to build a stack, but if you want to that's fine. Other than that, I want you guys to let her rip. There are plenty of questionable hands later on and I want full criticism :)

Thanks in advance guys.

I think you need to call this river in this situation 100% of the time (rebuy period):

Maybe smaller bet here to induce a CR?
Probably best as played, but a consideration.

What's your thinking here? Fairly big stack and he's donked around (with 67s) before. Just taking advantage of position and stack size for blind steal obv. But wanted to know if other thoughts behind it.

I think you clearly missed a value bet on the river here. What range do you put him on? Taking into account his call of your raise on flop. I think he most likely has AQ or AJ in this situation. KQ is laughable.

I actually like this since he has a big stack and you might trap (CR flop), but I think re-raising PF as well is definitely a reasonable alternative. If you knew his image, CR this flop is reasonable too, but since this is one of your first hands at this table, I like the way you played it.

Probably didn't matter because of his draw and stack size, but this is why I hate giving that free card (similar to hand above). The pot is big; take it down!

I don't like giving the free card on the flop

Well it's definitely risky, but I had him pretty much pinned on a smaller pair or something like AJ. I don't mind giving a free card to either because we can maybe convince them with a flop check that we're sitting on AK and that their pair is good or that they can bluff me out on the turn. I'm basically sacrificing more risk for a little more value.

There's absolutely nothing wrong with betting the flop, I think it's just a more conservative approach.

Then again you'll run into another AQ hand later on where I screw myself over doing the same thing so you could be right about giving a free card :)

Maybe smaller bet here to induce a CR?
Probably best as played, but a consideration.

Good idea, but I think in general a hand that's ch-r worthy will be doing so regardless of the size, no? Actually we could induce some ch-r bluffs too I guess, or maybe from Jx. I think I was just trying to stay in line with what I'd done before and just hoped a naked ace would tag along thinking I was just making a c-bet.

What's your thinking here? Fairly big stack and he's donked around (with 67s) before. Just taking advantage of position and stack size for blind steal obv. But wanted to know if other thoughts behind it.

No real deep thought put into this one...I actually hadn't noticed this was the same 67 monkey. Good eye; I think I was just keeping up my blind-stealing quota :p

I think you clearly missed a value bet on the river here. What range do you put him on? Taking into account his call of your raise on flop. I think he most likely has AQ or AJ in this situation. KQ is laughable.

Ya this was one I had to put up in HA (https://www.cardschat.com/forum/tournament-hand-analysis-51/aks-vs-lag-3-r-mtt-94640/) because I really wasn't sure he had me beat or not. Or at least I wasn't sure I was ahead of his range.

Anyways I actually think AQ/AJ are much too strong for his play here. You don't see his PT stats but he was fairly aggressive and I think by his flop block-bet that he's either on QJ, FD or a weak king. If he had TP, he would have check-raised me or 4-bet after his weak flop lead.

But ya, I'm still pretty sure I missed a value bet on that river. I just chickened out :eek:.

Hope you don't mind questions as well as comments. :)

I don't know what this guy's numbers were, but did you read this for a steal attempt, and decide AT is too easily dominated to stand up with?

^^^that's another good one NL.

tbh, I think I just felt I was in too many hands recently and didn't want to go nuts. Again, being OOP with a hand that marginal doesn't appeal to me either, but it's most probably proper to call there.

Yeah, that's an ugly one. It does have some reasoning though - if people get the idea that they can minraise my blinds with a good chance of success, then they'll keep doing it. At least this way they know they have to deal with at least seeing a flop and facing some resistance.

I completely agree with you though, nothing wrong with folding.

i'm doing a vid of bw's tourney at the mo, will probably take a week or so - if you're still interested hit me afterwards and i'll see what i can do. :)

ty sir :)

We'll probably be through with this one sooner than that, so maybe I'll reach you with another tourney I'll have played this coming week.

I just got to this one and was thinking the same thing because 1) he could be stealing, but also 2) this always makes me remember something from Phil Gordon about how he hates playing from the blinds so he would rather take a shot at taking it down preflop.


I actually like this since he has a big stack and you might trap (CR flop), but I think re-raising PF as well is definitely a reasonable alternative. If you knew his image, CR this flop is reasonable too, but since this is one of your first hands at this table, I like the way you played it.

Ditto. (Obviously I'm behind skoldpadda in the reviewing; I'll try to look for original comments :))


Probably didn't matter because of his draw and stack size, but this is why I hate giving that free card (similar to hand above). The pot is big; take it down!

Pretty tight. I think in position, you can call and see a flop. Of course, you can get squeezed out of the hand too.

Contrast to a hand a few hands later with KQo UTG, which is a clear fold.
