Defying conventional wisdom II - the 10 big blind myth
You all know the conventional wisdom: once you get down to 8-10 big blinds in a tournament, you’re in shove or fold mode. Nothing else is acceptable. The logic behind this is clear: limping is out of the question, any raise effectively pot commits you so you may as well get it in. Also, you have maximum fold equity with a…

is it a call or fold on the end?
Maybe i should have bet on the turn, to make draws pay to draw out on me, on the river should i have check called (dependant on size of bet), or make a thin value bet to try and get a call from a 7 or an 8, my question mainly is wether i call his min re-raise on the river. I did call in the view that if i was shown a king…

Is shove correct or can I call?
My thinking here is I have a ton of outs but if I flat his reraise and a heart hits I lose my chance to stack him. Obviously result was bad for me but was it the wrong play? (Been watching Top of The Pots repeat earlier and I'm pretty sure all the big boys would do same as me here....(well Peg1 and Sam1986 would…

Odd Levelling spot w JJ 140bbs approaching FT of 8k guarentee. Not sure on this, feels like too much
As played I snapcall. I would prob just 3bet and call it off v UTG or btn if he shoves, but that may be bad, also depends who btn is likely to view your 3bet range

Flop Line in Yday's Bounty ME
60 left, im 48/ 60, the top 50 get paid. I have been playing much tighter than normal, folding alot of hands. My stack has gone under 20bbs for the first time in the tourney so Im lookin for spots to steal blinds. Maybe I should fold pre? I never agree with the Clinic perception that anything that is not a high pocket pair…

Why limping with AA & 99 is wrong

turn spot in 3b pot
villain is the kind of reg you wouldn't be overly happy getting AK/QQ in against 100bbs deep. he'd view me as aggro/spewy and i'd been 3betting him a lot so i think he calls pre lighter than he normally would. he's seen me 2barrel / 3barrel bluff him in 3b pots in the past but that was quite a while ago and i'm not sure…
