DTD £150 deepstack FT hand..

[LeeMcshane]

Definite fold by me.

Just because you can find better spots where  you can jam and take the blinds, I would rather them making the tricky call for there tournament life then me in a tricky spot .where like said above you could only be a 60/40. Me Personally im looking at A10+ making the call at a min as i want to have the guys range crushed when making these calls.

Probably a fold, not folding A8+ though

Fold. I probably call A8o+, A7s+, KQo+, KJs+, 66+. It's tighter than an online MTT calling range in this spot, but live you expect to have a much greater edge, so as mentioned, no need to reduce this too much by taking certain 'flips'. I would want to be calling with hands are dominating/70:30 hands a decent amount. ICM is obv a factor, but there are definately better spots to be using your stack than flicking it in with A5o here. (wont bother going into the maths... it's been covered in a few other posts)

This. ICM is a massive factor, not to mention your edge and the fact you say the player on your left is a huge nit.

i've not read the OP, but if Sammy Mac says it's a fold there is no way anyone in the world should be calling

Although I might be bored, may feel like he is taking the piss out of my blinds, or nandos might be closing so flick in a call

If you are most clued up person at the table it means your oppos are going to be making more mistakes than you. When you call all-in for a flip you aren't forcing your oppos to make mistakes you are allowing them to freeroll your ability with a flip coup which suits them more than you. With identified weak laddering oppos behind pushing is much better than calling and I do a fold. Button oppo hasn't made a mistake by jamming so fair play sigh fold imo. Perhaps minor tilt in taking on marginal gamble after losing chunk and being card dead?

looking back kinda regret making the call.. obviously if i would have won the hand it would be a totally different story. I totally agree that the tilt factor was deffinatly there, being due to the fact that i only had 1 hand all final, that being  ...  another reason was that the guy to my right was seemingly running insane, and even if not was opening on average 4x... its very hard to exploit playing such shallow stacks.. he also shipped 25bbs from the HJ and showed AKo.. nice guy.. just had a style of play which tilted me :/

All very solid justifications imo.

I like to think of me and my chips as an army. The boys out on the front line are just as important as the others and you never leave men behind.

There's no 'pawn sacrifice' on the poker battle field!!
