Good luck all tonight playing DTD, we had a great night last week let's see if we can repeat it
BIG Welcome back to those who have been away, and a very warm welcome to the newbies.... Some great cashes Guys 'n' GAL !!!!
Sorry I haven't been able to contribute anything coz Ive been on a torrid run. Thought it had turned around tonight when I finally won an All-in sat. into UKPC semi (coz I was going to give Poker a rest for a while)
I was doing well in semi (mainly in top3, with 4 to qualify and £176 for 5th) all the way through and made the final table....but as 1 of the shorties......
.....should I have played my exit hand or waited for a possible better opportunity against 1 of the other short stacks or hope someone else gets knocked out before me ??
....Coz I always play it and do seem to keep bubbling....PLEASE HELP

Being on the bubble ICM becomes important, and shoving ranges into a raised pot become much tighter.
If it was a normal mtt it would still be an easy shove, especially as the bigger stacks will be bullying as was indeed the case here. But in a sat, especially one where the payback is significant to one's bankroll, the only criteria is survival. you want to be shoving into unraised pots, but with early action there is a good argument to fold even a hand as strong as TT. Indeed even folding AA preflop is doable on the bubble of a sat if there is already action.
It also looks like this is the first hand of the FT - so you haven't had a chance to see how the others are playing - this would also be useful info. Nothing nicer to see than an active short stack (until he doubles up!)
Rough default position would be:
Raised pot - FOLD
unraised into active big stacks - FOLD
unraised into passive bigstacks and short stacks - SHOVE
again it all depends on the exact situation, but if you bear this concept in mind it gives you a different way to think about it.
additionally - should you have even been playing the semi?
I hope you entered the allin because there was overlay - I saw you were in the one I entered which did.
but I needed an early night so pre-regged the semi, and took the allin win as cash, and then de-regged the semi. likewise even if you are wanting and able to play - are there not other mtts that would be more appropriate to spend your allin winnings instead of playing the semi, which is always going to be a tough game. maybe the mega stack - sounds like the field there is really soft.
(just winding you up matt - vwp m8 2/3 ain't bad as they say, although somewhat before your time methinks)

It was the 1st hand of the FT and I just felt the hand was one I could increase my chipstack with to ensure qualification, obviously afterwards I was regretting not waiting longer but it is a great learning experience for me. I do know quite a few of the players as they are regulars.
I know I possibly shouldnt be playing UKPC semi's but it is good to play against better players and learn from them too and it was via the All-in route again. there always is overlay in these though the nearer it gets to final in Notts there does seem to be a few more entering them.
I'd love to make it to Notts. just to meet everyone and for the experience too........
....Meanwhile here's another in a line of hands i've suffered recently, this time as Chip Leader, has anyone got a spare CAT to KICK....I've run out !!!!!!!
