Right/Wrong play
This is a final table of a £2BH I had 49000 chips, Opponent had 127000. other players had 59000, 110000 and 48000. bb 1250 2500. Hand played 1 limp, Opponent raised to 8750 with 88, I AI 46000 with AQs limper folded raiser called. My thoughts were I could get player to fold or if he called I was at the top of my range and…

Late Stages Strategy/Mentality
So this is a bit of a general question but i'll use a HH to make it easier for people to comment on (hopefully). Basically i'm not sure if i'm getting the right balance towards the latter stages of MTT's. Put simply: I play to win in any Tournament I enter. But I think I get confused in certain situations on how to proceed…

Yucky spot!

Shoving range late in a tournament
I am going to try to post hands for comments. This is the first try so forgive if it is badly posted. A simple hand but a complex question. What is a good shoving range in this situation. It was the 9.30 £10 BH seven left. in the SB with 11 BBs. BB had been playing quite tight and has about 22 BBs. Should I have shoved and…

Need advice on handling a downswing
After having a +£3k week in early June i've proceeded to polish off £650 on sky and probably around £200 on other sites in the last month. (probably played 125 tourneys) When i'm downswinging I feel more reluctant to grind and I find myself losing interest mid-grind when I've busted the main and a £55 and I'm left with a…

River Decision - Full House with trips on board
This is a live Tournament in my local in Bristol. £45 with one re-entry, 15k starting stack and 30 min blinds. We're about 3 minutes + 3 additional hands when the clock runs down away from the first break, which is when the re-entry period ends. Only info I have on villain is a hand we played earlier, 5,10,7 rainbow flop,…

ICM suicide?
last 4 of a turbo live game, 8 paid. UTG - 2BB foldsButton - 16BB foldsSB - 7BB shovesBB - 7BB calls what range can the BB call with? SB is a solid player but he knows his ranges and the value of ICM, both to himself but also to me. UTG only has 2 bigs and is in the BB next hand. But he has been like that for the last…

Tricky spot deep in 15k!
Vilain was tight and insta called the 3 bet. Reason for betting the river was for value against 6's 8's and 9's but I feel Villains bet on the turn was perhaps stronger so it left me in a very difficult spot with the board being paired. My question is how would you play this post flop? I don't mind my 3 bet.. this is my…

Tighting range Vs Multiple All-Ins
So I am sitting with about 15k in chips with the blinds at 200/400 on the button. We are 9 handed. UTG has recently taken a phone call and once told to get off the phone said to his friend "I'll be out soon" he's currently got about 12k in chips and shoved a few hands ago with 44 and got it through. He raises to 2k, and…

Bounty Hunter, ITM spot. What is your calling range?
£5.75 Bounty Hunter, 11 paid. After a period of tight bubble play the short stacks are ready to double or bust now they've made the money. With 9 players remaining you find yourself on the big blind facing a button shove and a small blind re-shove. You have both covered comfortably. Each has a bounty of around £4.50…

last nights mini B/H
Late regged the mini and felt the need to try and spin up a little......not a name I recognised, no reads, felt the bet on flop screamed flush draw, turn was a blank and the 1/2 pot bet confirmed (in my mind anyway) what I thought. Got it right this time, but did I play this correctly or just get lucky? History #890233415…

AKo on the bubble of an MTT
Stone cold bubble, 12 left, 11 paid. Shallow stacks all round, the average is no more than 15bb. Sat with just under 10bb on the button, probably about 8th of 12. Folds to the cut-off who raises nearly 3x from a similar size stack (may just cover him) after not playing a hand for about 3 orbits... cut-off has made some…
