28k ftw, FT bubble, flop confusion
$100+$9 No Limit Hold'em Tournament - t10000/t20000 Blinds + t2000 - 6 players
RunThisTable (BTN): t563696 M = 13.42
Drazzic (SB): t351646 M = 8.37
Hero (BB): t1125930 M = 26.81
driedubbel (UTG): t955558 M = 22.75
The Rounderr (MP): t662470 M = 15.77
Wolfhound99 (CO): t428519 M = 10.20
Pre Flop: (t42000) Hero is BB with [8d Tc]
3 folds, RunThisTable raises to t45525, 1 fold, Hero calls t25525
Flop: (t113050) [Ad Ac Jd] (2 players)
Hero checks, RunThisTable bets t33375, Hero raises to t92788, RunThisTable raises to t152201, Hero raises to t211614, RunThisTable raises to t271027, Hero raises to t880000
This is the final table bubble. It is against LuckyChewy who also has about $1.5m live earnings. The said tournament has $28,000 ftw.
What do you think of my play?

There is no value in this play, not even taking into account his stack size / payouts / weaker opponents to play / doing it stone cold.
It actually upsets me to see someone in this position give away stacks.
Final Pot: t655104
Hero mucks 8 T
Hero wins t655104
Like with all massive stone cold bluffs, it looks really clever when it works... when it doesn't you end up looking like an idiot and bubble the FT or leave yourself a tiny stack compared to what you started with. Granted you should be aggressive and not just thinking about laddering, but that doesn't translate to being a maniac.
I was gonna quote it in my reply as well
h8 the defend from the BB, prefer 3 bet - then the I got it , o no I got it raises is just lol -
wouldn't be so funny if oppo did have it :S Wouldn't post it then would ya !
gg egotastic
saying that chewy should just check behind )
OP's play technically has alot of fold equity as he is repping big aces and FH's, so it gets through a high % but when it doesnt get through he's locked and gives away a dominating position in the tourney.
Must be so easy playing MTT's for ppl like chewy, when every other random just wants to make you fold a hand and will risk their stack in the process..
credit for having the heart though ) doubt your flatting pre with an ace/JJ in the bb though ! ) or maybe not
ps. love the way you both give each other every chance to fold, telegraphed polarised raises FTW - thought Chewy would shove on you, obviously he not that good )
I'm glad i'm not good enough to either appreciate or deprecate this play. Your hand would have had me pressing the fold button quicker than the Roadrunner!! I'm aghast. Why play the hand with these m values? What was your logic to go into the pot.? Did you have a plan? What was it? I'm confused. I'll stick to my £2.30 Bh's merci beaucoup
1) You win a smallish pot which is not gonna make a huge impact on your chances of getting one of the very top finishing places.
2) You lose a massive chunk of your stack, which will affect your chances of getting one of the very top finishing places.
I just don't think the risk warrants the reward. Granted on this occasion he made a pretty size-able increase to his stack, but I'd say this outcome is the exception as appose to the norm.
