    Thanks Paul and Kalie! Definatly  Kalie haha 

    This is my journey to winning:

    Hand 1) Like the check on the turn, when opponent raises, i should have just shipped.

    Hand 1 - Yeah if we were IP, I wouldn't mind the call on the turn cos we can let them bluff again and if they don't then we just stick it in, but OOP we'll have to stick it in ourselves on the river cos we don't want them to checkback. No biggie tho

    Hand 2 - I probably c-bet but your line is good too.

    Hand 3 - Probably a good fold yeh, hate raising hands like AJo UTG on a 10handed table (I still do it tho lol)

    Hand 4 - Good shove

    Hand 5 - 100% Ship pre. We can't ever raise fold, and we're not strong enough to induce, and I don't think we wanna be inducing from this stack size anyway cos we won't be balanced. We want max FE really, if shoving makes them fold 66 for instance, that's great for us. A 3x might convince them to shove 66.

    Hand 6 - Good shove

    Hand 7 - Yeah give we're so short AND we're in the BB, AND we have a pair, just gotta call it off.

    Hand 8 - Good stuff

    Hand 9 - Good stuff

    Hand 10 - Good but I definitely value bet the river.

    Hand 11 - A call on the flop is probably better. When we jam we get called by 5x and bigger PPs and fold out everything worse/stop him bluffing the turn when he misses the turn with AK/AQ etc.

    Hand 12 - what a life, easy game lol.

    Hand 2) Quite like this 1, others might dislike the check on the flop, i'm just doing it for pot control, don't want to be re-raised put to a decision, when oppo checks turn know i'm good, like the value bet on the river

    I like your line here, but rather than thinking about opponents actions, saying stuff such as 'dont want to be put to a decision' and 'doing it for pot control', think of it in terms of his range of hands and how he reacts to your actions with different parts of his range. 

    We know what our 'decision' is going to be before we bet, having thought about how your range looks to him when you check and when you bet, (and when you bet different sizes,) and how this in turn effects his actions. (and therefore how best to proceed in the hand)

    Checking because you think it's the most profitable way to play your hand on this board against this player having taken this preflop line against his percieved range is fine.

    Checking because you want to 'avoid a decision' is not fine. 

    You're starting to read the hand and think deeper rather than trying to make generalisations about a players actions. This is how you start to improve and move your game on to the next level and how our/your edge over your opponents increases. 

    clue: it's hard. But 'that's poker' ;)

    ---------

    Had a flick through the rest, hand 5 is an insta ship pre yes.

    Hand 11 I like flatting the flop with the intention of calling down most runouts. If he calls your shove you're doomed as played. Let him keep leading if he wants he can't possibly have anything on that board with his line. 7s maybe. Just pick the bluff off.

    Noooooooooooo

    sure you want to teach him a lesson, but you want to have some equity in your hand so that if he does call you have some hope. ok two live cards but thats not good enough.

    save the shove with 48o for the button with 6bb not the bb with 10

    4 8 isn't terrible but would rather you shoved UTG the hand prior with anything. If I can give you another tip for SKY poker I wouldn't worry about falling under 10 bigs, there are no antes you can play under 10 comfortably.

    Totally gutted.

    Played a live tournie today, 1st plave 600, 2nd 300, 3rd 140, 4th 65

    I end up going out 4th, and this is what happened...

    I have 120k, blinds 5-10, 600k chips in play.

    1 Player is sitting with 4bb and has been for 30 mins, just trying to ladder.

    I'm in the BB, button opens to 35k, a tell he has a monster.

    I'm sitting with AQ. I open shove, he snap calls with Kings, flop xxQ, i dont improve.

    Gutted out in 4th place for 65 quid. After 6 hours of play, if i had just been a bit more patient, i would easily had £140 if not more....

    The raise pre pretty much shows he has a monster, and i shove. Totally annoyed with myself.

    Why does a raise from the button mean he has a monster? Do you mean because he was short enough to be shoving with the rest of his range? If so, and your read is good, flat. It's not the worst shove in the world, you can still hit your ace, and he could have had JJ maybe??

    WD on 4th.

    results orientated post imo

    you have 12 bigs
    a premium hand
    and a button raise which could mean anything readless
    don't beat yourself up
    you could have doubled up
    and 1st/2nd a lot better than laddering to 3rd
    and yes, very tedious when someone is just sitting on a mini-stack
    but that cannot stop you playing for the win

    lol was just a bit annoyed when i got home , but looking back the hand play's itself.
     
    It was a results orientated post, i done the right thing shoving, just unlucky i was up against the top of opponents range.

    Still a cash and it was a good fun tournie.

    Obviously in this scenario I would be wrong.
    But, to me a 3.5x on the button would make me think the exact opposite to what you thought.

    lol i was talking from the aftermath, i think the shove with AQ is the right move.

    He could be doing it with AJ, A10, JJ, 10-7's, maybe KQ, KJ. Just unlucky i was up against 1 of the 5 hands that was dominating me pre-flop.

    Hi Larson.

    Just caught up on this. VWP taking down an MTT.  Testament to you doing the hard work to get there.

    RE the live hand there is no way you can call out of your stack.  And there is no way you can fold a hand like AQ with 12 big blinds as you may never get a better spot to DU.  Its one of those things.... you just have to shove...  Thats why poker isnt an exact science.  You can do everything youre supposed to do and go out.  He could easily have AJ or A10s or JJ, 1010, 99. KQs.  Just unlucky to run into kings, thats all.

    And you should always play for the win...

    Thanks Waller, how are you doing with your bankroll?

    -----------------------------------------------------

    Testament to you doing the hard work to get there.

    Gaz just really been playing them. I still need to get a book on MTT's, would be interesting hearing a top players explanation/ view of how to play a MTT. Also have a look at some vids, if i can find any decent1s

    The help in here and the clinic has been brilliant.

    HAve spotted some mistakes, biggest ones are;

    1) Calling big bets, or re raises with big pocket pairs, like Aces on a K 10 Q board. Or queens on a 457 o/s board. At the low levels, players are never bluffing in these spots, they always have it and am as well just folding

    2) Tilting/ getting annoyed making really bad plays/ hitting a time i just play really bad because i don't want to be playing anymore. I've done this in 10% of the mtts since i started this thread.

    3) Giving away chips when it's shallow (you told me that!). Don't give away chips so that when you do double up it's more money for when you du.

    4) sometimes not aggressive enough.

    But it's going well, was just brilliant to take 1 down since i started this thread. Was really sweet as well that it was the orfie, as the standard is the highest in this, versus other any MTT i play.

    I think you underestimate how much just simple practice helps.  And yes playing a lot of tournaments, posting hand histories, talking with players online is putting in the hard work.  Think about the amount of players who play poker and never even think about what theyve done right or wrong.

    Youve just listed a number of things youve noticed on how to improve simply by playing on your own accord which is brilliant, and you went and won the orfie - one of the most popular tournaments on the site.

    Add that up all together and yes... your hard work is paying off.
