Didn't realise about the Golden Chip.

I thought you just had to make the final with it to win the package?

correct - but that rarely entered my head. Certainly not when the AK hand played out. I had mine on show throughout the weekend and treated it as a potential bonus rather than as  a prize to be won.

Think it was the TV table which was 8 handed so this was the GC bubble.

I'm surprised it didn't enter your head at all. Maybe yours didn't bother you but the fact the other guy knows you have one and whether or not he has one should certainly be taken in to consideration.

Him thinking that you're only calling with AA for example would certainly widen his range to include AQ.

Even if I include AQo it's still only just better than a flip vs QQ+, AQo+, and less than 50/50 if we remove AQo...

Don't misunderstand me, the final table was an aim, but mostly I wanted to win and having only been at risk of losing my entire stack twice in the whole tournament to this point (both in the last level on Day 1) I stuck with the game that had got me to where I was.

Should have known that the deck was stacked in my favour and called to hit the AxA that was coming, after all, I didn't lose a flip throughout the whole tournament.

Not a huge number Jason, 44>AK, AQ>88 as true overs vs pairs, but I also had QQ>AJ (AKJ flop), A8>KK, and K8>A10, plus QJ>77 heads up vs raggy.

Couldn't beat AA with AJ though.
