Title: Analysis Requested! Post by: jjandellis on November 27, 2007, 11:13:40 PM OK, I appear to be pulling myself out of my horrific recent run. It seems things are clicking back into place after an absence from the felt (virtual) and I have strung together some dominant displays in MTT's. I have found that I get good results in the Stars $109 EPT sats, so tend to play these where possible and trade in for W$.
However, I have dropped the baton at the last a few times and bubbled. Then this hand happened with 9 runners remaining and 5 getting tickets to the $650 (all have cashed for about $100): PokerStars Game #13507415341: Tournament #68089777, $25+$2 Hold'em No Limit - Level XII (600/1200) - 2007/11/27 - 17:49:11 (ET) Table '68089777 3' 9-max Seat #3 is the button Seat 2: shniur2004 (31753 in chips) Seat 3: jjandellis (43550 in chips) Seat 4: LucaYepa (29376 in chips) Seat 5: El Dueño 617 (32300 in chips) Seat 6: marnau1 (37408 in chips) Seat 7: jack17_at (29905 in chips) Seat 8: sredna lrak (4145 in chips) Seat 9: Babuyaya (24063 in chips) shniur2004: posts the ante 125 jjandellis: posts the ante 125 LucaYepa: posts the ante 125 El Dueño 617: posts the ante 125 marnau1: posts the ante 125 jack17_at: posts the ante 125 sredna lrak: posts the ante 125 Babuyaya: posts the ante 125 LucaYepa: posts small blind 600 El Dueño 617: posts big blind 1200 *** HOLE CARDS *** Dealt to jjandellis [6s 6d] marnau1: folds jack17_at: folds sredna lrak: folds Babuyaya: folds shniur2004: folds jjandellis: raises 2800 to 4000 LucaYepa: raises 8000 to 12000 El Dueño 617: folds A bit of history in this. Luca has re-raised me most of the time I have raised from the button. Alot of the time I respected his re-raise, as I was at it with hands like AJ/A10. However a couple of times I have gone back over the top to make him fold. He is also very fortunate to still be in after I caught him re-raising with A4 to my A9. He rivered a 4 when all in pre-flop... So what do u do with your pocket 6s here??? Title: Re: Analysis Requested! Post by: Graham C on November 27, 2007, 11:26:50 PM It's a satellite?
Fold preflop every time. You are chip leader, 5th pays the same as 1st, why do you need to play this? Fold to the prize Title: Re: Analysis Requested!

As Silo correctly stated its a satellite there is no need to be putting it on the line with a hand that is flipping most of the time and is sometimes crushed (more likely than being 70/30 here). Title: Re: Analysis Requested! Post by: boldie on November 28, 2007, 08:41:17 AM it being a sat you really have to fold pre-flop..there isn't any need to play this hand.

Not even close i need JJ+/AK+ to make this tricky. |
