And no I don't think his post is sarcasm, but making the point that either the guy couldn't play well and just was sticking to his tptk, which can happen early stages of an MTT, and why bluffing isn't always wise. Or maybe he had noted you playing to many hands so far? Or had notes on you from some other game etc and was playing against you the player not the board. That is his point, and nothin sarcstic about it.
Anyway i did think of 4 betting but the problem i have is if he just flats this then the flop hits he could have ak? then with me hitting 2nd pair id be in difficult street so i fancied my chances of hoping the bord runs out as it did and try rep sumit big on this occasion it didnt work and then i got lucky on river but ill take that
Yea you was right about the river bet was pointless i shoulda just jammed as i didnt have relativly much back at that , but if i did have the flush id never jam the turn as in most cases this will fold out big hands A dim .K dim eg , and least buy min raising turn i could get value from it and to be honest id probly play it exactly the same way just jam the river of course
And as fab pointed out i was just unlucky to play sum1 who would risk it all so early with 1 pair when most better plays would have layed down much better with the action given and advice you call idiots like idonkcall advice when he slates me for my play with 2nd pair but yet doesnt seem to read the 1st post i wrote about what i had set up yea amazing:)
And to your question yea i would have posted it if i miss river and lose asking was my play okay and is it good in the long run so theres your answer:D
YOu slate him, but to be honest its just as risky running a bluff on someone early in a tournament with no idea of their play or their holdings. I said before fold pre, but thats only because of the stageof the tournament. I don't have a problem with raising K9 on the BTN when its worth it, but the risk reward at this stage just isn' there for me. And even if playing like Pingu said I don't overly like flatting when I could easy be dominaed by AK, or KQ etc. It's easy to say "I thought I could outplay them", but how the hell can you know that this early in a tournament with no knowledge on him? Sure you got postion and that helps, but he has betting lead, which unless you got a kind board to bluff at its difficult unless he misses and gives up the lead.
Bluffing early in a tournamen with unknown players is about as wise as bluffing at 4nl, as so often you have playersnot even overly thinking about your hand. So no offense meant but you kind of dug your own hole here and got really lucky on a river or you'd have been busted or short stacked on a hand you didn't really need to go to battle with at this stage of a tournament.
To be honest been easier if I'd just done a +1 to pingu's long post as the points are well made there.
No i had a plan to stick to as tikay sais you gotta finish your story ay , and no gambling would have been me pushing pre all in when its 10000% sure hes got Aces
Btw have you seen the video on Victor bloom where he raise then pushes on a re raise on some guy on a like A A X board with literlly garbage on sum tourny
Never comparing myself to him just balls comes to mind
Timing was off yea but having the guts to go with it i have alot of respect for big time
There all on the table laughing at him but whos the one with the fame the money eg thats a full on omaha move right there mind haha
However I would more often then not, and especially without good information on the opponent,fold pre. I think you show a lot of bravery on the turn. And if a good opponent is betting an overpair or top pair on the turn with or without a flush draw, you put them under alot of pressure this deep. But if you were both around 100bbs or less, I am not a big fan of the move, as the opponent will be more pot committed, and therefore you have far less leverage to force them off big hands.
So yeah definately have to adjust play from most game types. BH, cash, SNG, DYM and MTT all have slightly different play styles and easy to mis-step in them. Cash game players normally make transistion to MTT's more easy than MTT to cash, but its still a different skill set at times.
by calling a 3 bet just to outplay someone is just not a good enough reason
if we always think we should flat 3 bets just to rep then frankly, this is not going to turn out good the majority of the time
by doing this we are just making it the game really hard for ourselves
just because your playing a high buy in MTT, doesn't mean you need to go and outplay everyone putting yourself in horrible spots
+1 to GT comments
Was too busy to argue this one as wa involved making myself look like a nut case in GPC
Had given a slightly longer reply to this thread on pg1 and didnt want to go into detail again.
So early, why bother playing this hand It would probably win you a small pot or lose you a big one.....IMO. Cheers
You have left his name in your OP.
