Hand 2 depends on how often he does this move, if he has min raised in this position in prev orbits I think this is a fold. If he is shoving each time then call but marginal. I prefer the fold.
Hand 3 basically same as hand 2 dependent on what he has been doing in previous orbits. Also what rizlas stack is would influence my decision here. Without any reads or history its a call for me but marginal.
Yeah i think had 1, is fine. Hand 2, i was thinking he's not that strong shoving 18 bigs, was looking at pocket pair (flipping) or Weak Ace, dunno the odds, 45-55%? Tbh prob a bit of positive tilt at play, i think instead of gambling on a 50/50 or slightly worse this is probably just a fold. Exit hand, quite happy with my call there, i'm flipping here a lot/ slightly ahead, of K x type hands. Thanks Kalie and Geldy Posted by LARSON7
wp though mate. Seems like your mtt game is getting better and better which was your aim when you started this diary.
Sorry i didnt see the end of your deepstack game. Had a fair few tables open and my comp was starting to lag so had to close yours. N1 on the cash.
Hand 1 is good. Hand 2 i errr to the side of caution and fold. You are never ahead (or very rarely) so you know you have to hit... His stack is too large to call marginal hands dry imo. Hand 3 yeaah i call there.
Hand 1....don't mind a shove. Also think a minraise is fine as it gives villain the chance to jam with hands we crush, that they might not call off their stack with. (Q10 KJ etc)
Hand 2....probably a fold, unless this has been happening every orbit for a few minutes. In which case a defend is fine, despite it always feeling dirty calling off with K high.
Hand 3...Marginal. We could be miles ahead. We could be miles behind. Table dynamic will factor in quite highly with this and hand 2. Tough spot, think I'd talk myself into a call more often than not.
My next target is £500, and i'm hoping i can get up to £1000 by Christmas time.
I might need to stop being such a nit with BRM tho lol and start playing higher levels.
Like with HU turbo games, i'm still playing the 1 quidders, should really be playing the fiver games.
But i'll prob keep doing what i'm doing for a while and once i've built up a bit more move up.
Gonna play the DTD games tonight, i've never cahsed in one of these in the few times ive played, hopefully tonight is the night, would be delighted to get anything haha
Played fine, in all honesty I didn't see many of your hands as you close the hands prior to showdown which good. I would say be less protective of your blinds as you play a lot in there but I didn't see all your holdings so can't be sure if you where getting the cards or playing the players out of position. Other than that you must of done something right you got the FT!
That exit hand was horrible I had 2 worse ones, AA v A8 in ME FT last 3 he flops a flush!!!!!! Sick!!!
Oh well to lose nearly all my flips tonight and FT the ME I am happy!
Really liked how you built your stack back up when it was down at about 3.5 k, on the table we were on it was so easy to do.
I wouldn't have the guts to do stuff like that.
That was 1 thing i picked up from you tonight, the other was from you and Ebberdon, you don't need to just shove any 2 with a short stack. Ebber and you at times with 10 bigs were min raising!

Id only min raise out of 10bb if i wanted someone to shove pre and i was happy to get my chips in on any flop. Even so id prefer a shove even with AA... otherwise players who think a bit will get a bit suspicious of a min raise out of 10bb. Plus if you are min raising with say AA/KK with 10bb and someone calls with AQ/AJ/A10 and miss the flop... you are never ever going to get their chips.
That's my stats from the start of the thread. Cheers for that Gaz!
A big thanks to everyone who has helped on this thread. A big thanks especially to Gaz and Kalie, who have been brilliant.
3/4 of the way through and really happy at the outcome so far.
The biggest thing I've done in the last week or so is cut out a few leaks
1) Not tilting cause I was bored/ got a bad beat and staying focussed
2) Prserving chips, especially late on for when I'm looking for double ups
3) Going for max value with really strong hands.
Noticed a few more leaks in the past week, misplaying 3/4 handed at FTs. I was pretty annoyed with myself last night for a bluff I ran against Tomo. It was an epic bluff, and looking at his stack sie he couldn't afford to fold, but thought id apply massive pressure, unfortunately he had top pair lol This is definate a leak. In saying that, this whole thing is about learning, and I will continue to do so.
Things are going in the right direction but still a long way to. Since doing this I've only played ultra low stakes, am now going to avoid BH'ers as they seem to be 2 swingy. Going to stick to low stakes till my bank roll's at 500 then i'll have a go at fiver games. Nitty I know!

Not a problem. Happy to help.
You've clearly improved enormously at MTTs due to the time and effort youve put into them. Long may it continue!
Nice BRM and no problem I love giving help if I can, also it has helped me play my own game having others to talk to regarding it so it's all fine and dandy!!
Keep running good see I am sure we will share a FT soon!
glad to hear that your doing well Larson. now I know who to ask for help with myself in MTT lol. that hand their was a call any day with him being on the button it increases the likelihood that you are still ahead was the case just a shame really that he hit his K and J.

Massive chip leader in the deepstack, 7 handed
Out of interest, what does everyone think of these hands from the FT
I probably didn't play the best, i should have been a lot more aggro.
In saying that it was a good fun tournie, had another deeprun and made another FT, so can't really complain.
Hand 2 depends on how often he does this move, if he has min raised in this position in prev orbits I think this is a fold. If he is shoving each time then call but marginal. I prefer the fold.
Hand 3 basically same as hand 2 dependent on what he has been doing in previous orbits. Also what rizlas stack is would influence my decision here. Without any reads or history its a call for me but marginal.

See you at the tables 2 night!
Was a really good night. I misplayed a hand 3 handed, when i had 500k from 900k, just a blow up moment lol
I still had a decent stack. Playd 3 handed with Matisback and AA Boles for a good while,
Got it in KK versus AQ, board ran out A 3 c A3 lol Had about 10 bigs shoved K7 into pocket 8s which held.
Was a good night, and happy to make my first final table of the DTD.
We shared the same table for a good couple of hours at the start of the tournie, how do you think i played?
Any feedback?
Really ul with your exit hand

Out in time to register the 8:05 Bh (only low stake mtt going!) so registered.
Did pretty well, played pretty well, went out in 16th Place. Was actually good fun despite some of the dodgy play goin on
Fiver free bet from Sky bet promo came in as wll, for a nice profit of £25. No massive cash at poker, but a good night.
now I know who to ask for help with myself in MTT lol.
that hand their was a call any day with him being on the button it increases the likelihood that you are still ahead was the case just a shame really that he hit his K and J.
Biggest thing learned you can't play them the same way, eg you cant be throwing away chips lol
