What price "business" at the sharp end?! If you were level in chips, roughly level in ability, & got heads up, & the prizes were.... 2nd - €56,500 WINNER - €100,000 .......would YOU want to do some business? If so, given the paramaters I set out, what deal would you suggest? Posted by Tikay10
Not a great fan of deals but if, under those conditions, I was offered a straight 75k each and play for the change and trophy, I'd probably take it.
Now imagine we are Heads Up - same paramaters - & you find Q-Q. It goes raise - re-raise etc. The Villain shows you his A-K (assuming he is allowed to). We have to go All-In, & he has to call. Right? Obv, right. So we go to a €53,500 Flip....... Be pretty neat to hold. But if that A or K rivered........ A €53,500 flip is quite something. Posted by Tikay10
id rather take this flip than with 20 runners left when in theory there is less to flip for!!
was a great tournament & i was really pleased to make the final table...played badly from 5 handed, a mixture of frustration, poor gear changes & just not being sharp enough when it mattered,
three more lessons learnt!
looking forward to a punt in the ukops tomorrow evening...just gotta survive the trick & treat run first

If we shout"HOOOOOOOOOOOOLLLLLLLDDDDD" and "ONE TIMMMMMMMMMMMMEEEEE" our QQ is bound to win right?

Either that or tikay will shoot us
.... Despite the fact the hand that crushed me and stopped me cashing (imo) at SPT Blackpool was QQ v AK aipf and me losing.
...and if it were us with the A-K?.......
6 left......including The Thewster.
Excellent result, well played bud.
Should be a good Blog incoming!
