Staking Request - Stars 180's - SOLD OUT

[sweet potata!]

Good read thus far T_mar keep it going and good luck with it.

[the sicilian]

I was thinking about this hand.

I'm very inclined to call here since every draw on the flop missed. The K doesn't really scare me as I don't think he shows up with KQ too often, it's a set or air/missed draw here and I'm probably calling. Don't know how much of a leak this is though?

i pass here. true, it is a set or air, but at the $22 level do many players really fire three barrels including virtually min raising the flop if they have a big draw? i find it hard to believe this is not extremely rare at this level. if it is a known extremely aggro player in a bigger tourney then maybe i find a call, but my line here is def to pass

also, if the min raise is to rep strength if he misses a draw on later streets, why does he make it 395 instead of 390 (which surely reps even more strength!) - this leans me more towards passing.

i think in this kind of tourney its hard to be too much of a nit in this kind of situation, people just don't find complicated bluffs very often

where do u pass numpty..turn or river?

Good post esp the 'people just don't find complicated bluffs very often' bit.

Don't worry about it and try not to feel like that, work hard and results will come.
