I'd like to replace Adam Junglen with Jason Mercier for my final sub please.

Thanks

I believe I should only have 19 points as I substituted Phil Ivey during event #15 Seven Card Stud Hi-Low, those 3 points should not count.

Sunil Mistri for DTD Qualifier please.

Also, please substitute Phil Ivey to replace Faraz Jaka.

Cheers

Sorry, I'm a deeply focused procrastinator.

In the BB I am in for 1200 only. I cannot call another 28,800 all in bet without holding at least JJ, if not QQ in this spot. AK I am not interested in calling here.  It is far too early in the tournament to be playing AK for a lot of chips.

If I have been 'outplayed' on this hand then the winner of the hand is more than welcome to my 1200 chips, I hopefully will have given myself more opportunities to win all the chips.

Hello,
I would like to get some feedback on the hand that sent me out the door of this UKIPT event.
This is isn't a backwards way of telling my beat story; some people may look at it and say it wasn't worth the post and tbh I walked away from the table thinking "yup, that's fine, we'll get 'em next time." I thought I played it fine and anything else would just be 'with hindsight', but then after talking to friends whose game's I respect and having been told that it was fine AND that I butchered it, I thought maybe it's worth a wider consensus.

It was the 4th level and the table draw is nothing to complain about. Everyone playing pretty cagey as they do early stages apart from two clear value spots, one who is calling too much and a LAGtard who is our villain for this hand. At this point he's already put in a blind raise from UTG, made a nervous young lad fold KK and shows him a bluff, opening too many pots and promised revenge when a bluff was shown to him. He's already been given a two hand penalty for folding out of turn and he is very loud and obnoxious. My image, if it even mattered to him, was pretty solid, haven't played many hands but won the ones that I did with only one showdown where I c-bet with nothing, paired the turn on A54 K and check called a bluff on turn and Ace river. (that was mr. calls too much)


Hero - 21k
Villon (that is greek for dick) - 20k

Blinds - 100/200

Villon raises 375 from hj (not even paying attention that min raise is 400) so raise to 400
Hero in BB has  and 3b to 1050
Villon 4b to 2750

...now I have a think and ponder the best way to get good value from such player and if I think he quite often doesn't have a hand and folds to a 5b, and also that a c-bet from him is imminent because he's the kind of player that has the tools but rather than hit the nail with the hammer he smacks himself in the face with it, so the plan was to check call or check raise most flops...because letting aggressive players hang themselves is a good thing right?

Had I won this hand I probably wouldn't be asking which is the messed up thing. Early stages are a weakness for me so if I can take anything away from this that would be great.

Now is this ever a good example of taking someone to value town in such early stages?
Was this a way too risky way to play OOP?
Is this a must 5b?
Should the c-raise have just been all in?
Could I have folded when he went all in? (this comment I personally very much disagreed with) The argument being that any hand he does this with will have too much equity in the pot and in these early stages this was an unnecessary spot for me when I could have just carried on chipping away steadily.

I would 3b to 1250ish.  In this hand I would 5b to 9500ish.  With blinds of 100/200 it is far too early to be dropping out of the tournament.  You want to be putting yourself in spots where you are far more in control of where you are in the hand.

Hi guys,

Just wanted to get an opinion on what you would do with these 2 particular hands in this spot.

It's 150/300 pre ante, I'm up to 30k after peaking at 42k then losing KT vs 97hh on QJ3 w/2 heart board. I have been reasonably active but none of my hands have actually gone to showdown and I haven't had to tap the table and acknowledge good call yet.

Ali Malu opens to 900 utg and gets 4 callers and I am on button. I 3bet to 3250, both blinds fold, Ali folds and it folds to the last peeler. He now piles for the same stack (I had 200 more).

What are you doing with:
1) AKs
2)AQ

Villain was middle aged (~30) had been fairly tight but had been opening etc and I had already 3bet squeezed against him twice which he peeled both times and both times check folded flop. Other then that can think of no real other info on him.

Firstly middle aged being ~30 when I am 36 is sick!  (I'm hoping to hit a century so middle age should be 50ish) ((Tikay??)) Second, fold to the raise when you can continue the tournament with around 27,000 + chips and out play your opponents in smaller pots.

Just wanted to post this to make sure shoving is ok in this spot? I mean I thought of flatting, but then I just thought he's never folding.

bet bet betting ends up getting the lot in too, any reason to play the hand any differently to how I have?

With no real draws out there, this early does a good reg ever have worse?

The only probable set is the fours, can we fold here knowing there's literally 4 hand combo's that beat us?

Unless you strongly know that he can be raising weak then on the flop it is possible to get away from this hand when he raises 943 to 1643.  You have a nice stack of 3356 left at blinds of 15/30 if you fold!
