Dale, I know you don't like me but your open raise sizing in those hands is a little off IMO, just seen them after scrolling through looking for the above.
2 cashes from Saturday and sundays 2.20 at 220 Saturday 4th place £13.81 sunday 7th place £9.01 gl all tonight
From 2nd to out with 3 very playable hands on the trot would test anyone.

If we have a comfortable stack and AK, why on earth do we just want to win the blinds and nothing else? We have a premium holding. If we start raising it by too much, are we not just causing Mr bb to fold his hands that we have in terrible shape? BB might well peel a raise with A5s to a min, which is great, but bin it to a 3x, which is bad for us.
We are encouraging people to play well vs us if we are too transparent with our raise sizes. At that stage (well any stage of a tournament really), your open raise should be consistent as not to give anything away. If you min 77 but 3x AK, then you're playing too face up and giving people easier decisions.
Another thing in regards to AK late on....you raise it 3x and the BB calls. It's a bricky low flop, but now your cbet, assuming you make one, has to be that little bit more as the pot is larger. If you get called and its a blank turn but you go for a second barrel, that stab on the turn has to be larger as the pot is further bloated. Raising too much pre makes our bluffs and semi bluffs more expensive down every street.
Good luck in DTD tomorrow.
Hi TPTers
A BIG TPT Welcome to our new team mates........
evsbach & ash07
Well done on the cashes all - Waller, jj, Dagg, Steeley & wheels and anyone else I missed
Unlucky in those hands dagg - it's a tad frustrating sometimes, but good sound advice from harry though. Bet sizing consistently and not giving away info is very important. Ive been and still am guilty of this sometimes. I overbet pre-flop & then it costs me more down the streets, but it seams there is a very fine line between getting it right or allowing everyone into a multiway pot, something I have been working on, but always seem to fall back to my old habits.
Best of luck all in the Forum DTD Tonight- I will be running late as I have to pick the missus up at 7.30pm so I will pre-reg so I don't miss late reg.
Dagg- I will send you a PM laters today when I have more time so please keep an eye out for it.
In that particular case I raised 3x because of table dynamics with 2 players willing to call with any 2 cards. I would normally raise 2x at that stage in any tourney. I just felt 3x at that particular time was a good option. Trev you touched on multi way pots and thats what I was trying to avoid
Post your interest on this thread HERE with your name and team.
You need to play all 3 DTD tourneys for your best 2 results to count.

Good luck all in DTD tonight.
The AK hand was our demise though, we are sitting with quite a nice deep stack size (47bigs?), so unless the guy is the loosest fish on the planet (and even then it's debatable) I don't see why we have to risk nearly 2/3rds of our stack with this hand when we are holding a decent stack and in good shape to go on & win the tourney.
Don't get me wrong.......If I have a much shallower stack, its all goin over the line and I'm happy to shove/call with it in that position, but not so happy calling with it for 2/3rds of my very nice stack.
If we 2 x on the other hand, we give him other options to think about........
option one: he shoves and only picks up the chips in the middle (Not optimal for him)
option two: he calls hoping we get some of the flop
option three:he 3 bets and hopes we have a stong enough holding to make the call
by 3x ing pre-flop I think you only gave him one option (to shove) because you have shown him the strength of your hand & he's very happy to go up against it, whilst if we 2x raise he will want to keep us in the hand and so has to think about the other options available to him and how it is best for him to extract all our chips & thus potentially making him make a mistake if we outdraw him. We also have the option to fold if we brick.
The other 2 hands after that were just a result of the AK - the 44 hand was just a mistake and in the 1010 we had no other option because of our shallow stack.
It should be a min raise, whether we then go with the hand will depend on the villain but more than likely its all going in. AK is such a monster at this stage. Sometimes they just have it, but we still have decent chips back.
44 is the biggest mistake and the catalyst for the exit. Easy min raise fold, or maybe even open fold. 3x calling off is the nut worst line.
