Sky Roller satelite thoughts

DeucesLive

good reg players are well capable of bluffs and it's how they get paid- I really don't think they're liable to bluff at this stage of a satellite, I wouldn't go as far as to say never but it's very, very unlikely.

Late stages, sure- even early stages of a standard tourney, especially a deep one. But there's no way he's going to donk off his chips on a speculative bluff in a survival tournament. Pair+NFD is a bit of a monster, even if he's convinced you have a king.

I dunno I think you played it ok- but your hand is kinda vulnerable there. If you're certain he's on the flush draw, I flat and re-evaluate- give him a card, chances are good it won't be a spade. Then you can get his stack in. If it IS a spade, go with your read and fold- it's only cost you an extra 150.

You're in position so flatting is acceptable, it's down to him what he does with the next card. Turns out it's a blank, so he either fires again- in which case I jam on him, and he struggles to call with 1 card to come- or it's a spade, and he fires for real- I just let go at this point.

If he has the NFD on flop, with 2 cards to come and chips invested you're probably not getting him off. Turn raise carries a whole heap more weight, use your position.

DOHHHHHHH

Dont think he 3 bets AK 100% of the time here and certainly not KQ.

i think its ok, i would say youre 57% vs my range. I would just call flop though in your shoes.

Ty offshoot i was wondering whether you was going to come on here? if i flat and turn blanks as it did would you fold? as your not really getting the price

taking into consideration the %s you got you're money in first and were ahead. In my oppinion then you have made a good decision alternatively you could shove when you are behind.
