Playing AK in the mid/late stages of a tournament
Mid stages of the Roller. Reads on oppo........difficult opponent, he had previously doubled me up blind v blind after he defended with 59s and shoved on the ace high board with his flush draw, my top pair held. Plays his draws very aggro, hard to push off a hand. However, this is the first time I have been involved in a…

Shoving too thin?
Hi all, Played my first ever Mini Roller this evening, and [tiny brag], cashed in 24th. However, whilst I could put my exit hand down to bad luck, I'd like to ask the great and the good of Sky Poker whether I could have maybe lasted a little longer. Basically, we've not long reached the money, blinds are 800/1600, and I'm…

How would you play this hand post flop?
Hopefully the cut and paste job has worked, essentially I had pocket K's against 5's. I flat called as I was confident I could get the player to bet off his chips on most flops rather than potentially either chase him away pre-flop with a 3-bet or get a call and then a scared check fold if he missed the flop. Obviously at…

AJo in SB live with 20 bigs
But the BB is a very good aggro player. Just seen him call a river shove with just his 6 paired on an A high flushing board. (and he was right). I've seen him play but he has only just moved to my left thanks to a table break. 20 bigs is a bit below average. 12 left 6 paid. Unopened pot what to do? Expect him to raise with…

Bit of advise on late stages (If I ever get there)
Been going through a bad run for a while now. Kind of lost confidence, which I think may be a big part of the issue. Long term I've been a winning player for a while, but since this blip the rare time I find myself deep in a tournament I seem to have lost the abilty to get over the line. I used to always fancy my chances…
