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):

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
here???
