Thanks to everyone for the rail tonight.  Support much appreciated.  Special mention to Rose, who was there all night and was vul in going out on the bubble in the Main event semi.  Donna also played a top game in the Vegas final and I was very sorry to see her knocked out with a set of 8's v a luckbox with the straight.

Looking for some advice on this MTT play.

Blinds 50/100, going up next hand or one after.

Bigstack has 5800, I've got 1600 (16bb or <10 bb when blinds go up)

Bigstack has been bullying and blind stealing, as he should be.

Edit: average stack is around 3600

I'm in BB post 100, bigstack is utg+1 and bets 300, folded to me.

I've got Qc9c, I can't RR with my stack, so I dwell and then jam all in.

If villain has AA KK QQ, AQ or A9 blockers then I'm <25%

If villain has AK AJ AT A8 or 88< then I'm 40/60 to double up (not bad odds?)

I have decided to jam based on villains previous play forcing blinds to fold.

If he doesn't have premium hand he may fold or my odds improve?

AKo vs Qc9c so I'm behind but with live cards, 9 on flop and held.

Villain questioned my play, I simply stated %, to which reply was poor strategy.

In this position I have forced the villain to chose to flip, am I wrong here?

(In his position I'm calling with AKo also, so no complaints from me)

Or is villain just irked that his AKo didn't hold up at 60/40?

Note: This is the type of hand that has been outdrawing me recently, so why not join em?

ps, lost few hand later with 10/10 vs A9, A on flop to other bigstack allin after I 4 bet

Huge congrats Mattprawn on winning your Vegas package.  Played well from beginning to end and deserved your win.  Unlucky to Angel though - her set coming up against your straight.  Run well in Vegas sir!

Good luck all TPTers tonight - especially in the TPT game at 8pm.  Get regging!!

Sorry RedKing - I never know about %s as such in MTTs - just go with my gut feeling and pray!  Sure someone knowledgable will be along shortly.

Run golden all xx

mattprawn

Thanks all for the good wishes.  Looking forward to Vegas and hope a few of you will be along too.  Taking my Dad, who is excited as well.

Red KIng, happy to give my thoughts on your hand, but please take with a pinch of salt...

I agree that with your stack you're looking for an opportunitiy to double up.  The time has probably gone for limping into pots hoping for the best.  You need to protect your stack to ensure you maintain some fold equity, so in principle a shove against one player is what you're after and you've found this spot.

On the plus side, if you are say 40% and you then build in the chance of villain folding, you probably are a slight favourite to win the pot.  He is, however, UTG so I'm extra nervous that he has a big hand and there are not many in a normal range where you are ahead.  Equally you probably have live cards so are in with a shout.

My question is what you are trying to achieve with the bet?  If you want the call I'd say you should wait for a better spot, Q9 is very unlikley to be dominating anything that he would call a shove with.  If you are after winning the pot there and then. I'd also say you might find better spots than shoving into the big stack who has raised in an early position when he can afford the call, he is probably dominating you and against him (compared to others) your fold equity is relatively low.

Other things to think about is (i) if it's a BH then people call very wide against a small stack (ii) if he is big stack he's probably been running well and may be on positive tilt - both reasons to suggest he won't fold to your shove.

So, in summary I'd say that it's not bad play, but you might wait a while and pick a better spot?

Red_King

Thanks Matt, comments appreciated, also we'll done on your Vegas package win.

I've changed my game in the later stages of MTTs, not woried about just cashing.

The number of the outdraws, not just my hands, on my tables is very high,

consistently seeing undercards outdrawing overpairs, runner, runner, runner, runner str8 or flush

Tonight's exit hand 99 vs 88 allin pre flop, to go top 10 with 43k pot, 8 on flop :-(

Hi Red.
I don't think villain can complain once it goes in. He knows he has a dominating hand most of the time, but got unlucky on this occasion and just needs to suck it up
I'm with matt though and unless I think I can get villain to fold, I think I have to wait for a better spot. I certainly don't want to be in a race with this hand, also we are only picking up 4.5 Bigs, so it's quite a rick for little reward.

At this stage of a tourney I would stear clear of the Big Stack & the Small Stacks & put this type of pressure on the medium stacks because they are the ones with the most to lose. Big Stacks take risks & small stacks want a double up so aim your efforts at the Medium Stacks.

Best of luck at the Table all

Well done on the Vegas Seat Matt - Bring it Home

No, pots went to aggressor who bet into blinds,

Stacks relatively even, for turbo DYM at bubble.

Chips were just swapping around table, waiting for a good spot to shove.

Really getting frustrating now!

Same routine tonight, only made worse by the donk caller posting his play was good.

Comments welcome, I think donk just got lucky, donk thought my play was wrong?

ME-semi

I've got 6.5BB and AK in BB, donk has 11BB and min raises utg, folded to me.

My stack size does not allow a RR, so I can only fold or shove.

With AK facing a min raise, best option is shove?

To be totally honest I think you have an attitude/mindset problem more than anything. Just look at all your recent posts on here.

The A5 guy has got lucky and looks like a far from optimal play from him in a sat, but the only things within our control is how we play and how we react.

Could be true, but, the number of outdraws is unrealistically high in respect of the number of mtt's I play.

Only been back a month, I'm only posting the outdraws as facts, nothing else. Simply very high -ve VARIANCE.

Others can make up their own minds, but I appreciate comments, particularly if I'm missing something basic.

I like playing on this site and the community, been in this team since the start, but consistent outdraws ????

I'll ask you,

If you played live at the same venue and experienced these exit hands daily, would you play elsewhere?
