Julian, got another one for you:
First level of a deep-stack tournament with a decent blind structure.
You have KK.
You don't know any of your opponents, and you have no idea how any of them play.
Someone raises to 200 (4xBB), you make a standard re-raise - they shove all-in making it 10,000 total.
Call or fold?
the book says fold i'm sure - prob 50/50 for me, depends on the opponent & my feel for the situation
OK, thanks.
So with no read, and no knowledge of the players (say it's the first hand of the tourney and you don't know anyone at the table), you call or fold?
these days, a long sigh, then call

Yo Julian
You are at an important stage in a big tournament. Two tables of six players left and first prize is $1 million. You are in the BB and everyone folds to the SB. He raises it up and you call with QK suited. By chance when you glance over at him you see his hole cards are 82 off. The flop comes 297 and he now bets about 15% of his stack and you have him covered. What do you do? (you also know this guy from playing on the circuit and often have a few drinks at the bar with him)
ffs,
i don't hear from you for like 12 months & then you come up with this?
this sure sounds like a trick a trick question.....but you're telling me i can get my chips in first with overcards??
a clear push & 'suckout if called' situation.
xx
ps, u in copenhagen?

julian- have you ever had any lucky chips/card protectors/underpants or anything. I am considering any option to get a hand to hold up so if you have an old trinket for me at the vic next month (that still has a bit of luck left in it) I would be happy to give you a % in return if it works
ps hoping its not lucky underpants as they may be a little constrictive

not specifically dealing with ariston here, but I was lucky enough to witness ariston totally destroy someone in a live game just through banter. ( what made that bloody funny is that it was a 2/3 quid rebuy)
how would u deal with it?

If you remember I did have a reason for playing the £3 rebuy as I had a student I was teaching to play on the other table. I was hardly gonna put her in a big comp was I? No shame in the small comps anyway they can be great fun.
As a lead on from that- do you find you cant concentrate as much on the smaller competitions now you have tasted big wins. Do you still see a grand or 2 at dtd as worth winning or do you find you only really try to focus in the big events and treat the smaller comps like socials.

one wonders at the extent of 'her' coaching...
a grand or two still means alot & making any final table will always be special, so yeah i do take the local comps fairly seriously but my record in them off late is pretty crappy...no dtd final tables yet
