Yes, Ben Young is a great player and I would expect him to go on and play at a higher level. He was the best player on the table and deserved to win the tournament.
I was talking to somebody today who said there was quite a bit of discussion in the commentary on on the rail regarding play at the final table and how passive it was. It did not feel that unusual to me but I would be very interested to know from some of the better players on here who saw the table (if anybody did) how they would have approached it. Should there have been more three betting etc? Was there something one of us could have done to take better control of the table?

Hi Rod.
Firstly many congrats on a splendid result. A 400+ field takes some getting through.
Yes, the Final Table commentary did make reference to the level of aggression or passivity, & it was me that raised the matter. There were 2 reasons really, as I've explained elsewhere already.
1) It was my first Live Stream commentary ever, & as it was linked to a Forum Update, I wanted to raise some issues that would prompt Forum debate & discussion, so I agreed with Simon Trumper to rev it up a bit, quite deliberately. Whatever line he took I'd take the opposite, &
vice-versa
. It worked!
2) "Dead air" is not a good thing on a commentary which would be sound only for many, so we needed to fill the air-time 100%. So we needed to find things to discuss, that would run & run. We alighted on 2 things that got the punters buzzing.....
a) The size of the Raises, relative to the Blinds. At 10k-20k (+ RA) 45k seemed the norm, & the view was raised that it was a little small.
b) I advanced the view - which I still hold, by the way - that 6, 5 & 4 handed on a Final Table, I would expect the Button to be bringing in a Raise in EVERY unopened pot. This never happened. In fact, the BB got numerous walks. Wisely, in the case of Seat 1, who was "walked" in the BB in successive orbits with A-A & K-K, poor fella!
I'm full of admiration for your success, & certainly it was never my intention to be critical of you - we just needed to rev up a commentary. It worked, too.

an alternative view would be that it shows how much better the players are in these tournies compared to when apat started and how people now know how to make the correct raise size
I have to say that my starting table (the one you came over to with dai on my right) was the best standard I've ever been sat at at the start of a tourney, I was amazed tbh. bet sizing was spot on constantly, there was no limping from anyone at any point and no soft spots/easy targets. I know the whole field wasn't like that, far from it, it was just a pretty sick draw but there really are some good players now at apat events who know their stuff

So explain how it ended as a 1-2 for the

, of all people?

I'll try and remember this when I next make a final table (so in about 2015 lol). I was not worried about anybody being critical (I have no doubt there was plenty of constructive critism better players could offer on my game) but just wanted to understand what I could have done to improve my performance, I was really pleased with myself until the final four where I did not feel I played as well as I could have, think I wanted a medal too much.
Is it really as simple as raise more pots? I was not really three betting light very often which I have been told it essential.
Thanks for the advice. It was a great event and I'll keep trying to improve my game and am aiming for another final table in the second half of the season. I would not complain if Ben Young was not there next time though :-) (even though hes a very nice guy).
