Playing a $1 MTT on Gutshot poker tonight.
Currently I'm in 20th place (36 get paid) of the 310 that started.

Table has been pretty much limpers with a couple usually calling a LP raise.
Colette30 has been limping/calling a small raise then folding on the flop.

    You have to bet over 10% of Colette's stack. I would have bet at least $1k. Maybe $1012.30. haha

    You are barely betting 1/2 the pot. You are giving a flush draw/straight draw + 2 overs odds to call.

    Yup make'em pay you've got a premium hand.

    $1000 is a great sized bet because it creates a perfect sized pot. You can jam a safe turn with another pot sized bet and in a $1 donkament you'll get paid by KK, QQ, JJ, A-10, K-10, probably Q-10 and a ton of shitty draws.

    I think the bet size is just "ok"....if he pushs you can fold, but you are letting him see the turn.

    Did he play something stupid like 78?

    Too small pre-flop and too small post-flop.

    I agree with -ev.

    (-ev, will you ever go back to comments closer to the one you made for the music video? I miss those.)

    I could comment on that fine ass displayed in your avatar if you'd like.

    Have to agree. Played it poorly and was stacking his chips in my mind.
    Put him on to narrow a range of hands and got married to my Aces.

    Should have played it more straight forward.
    It got worse and I am embarrassed to post this, but here goes. Slag away at my donkey play. :(

    Small buy in tournies like these are almost identically to middle/late stages of freerolls. You're gonna have so many call stations, I shove really hard when I get Aces or Kings. Sad thing is he'd probably have called 1-2K bet anyways with his draw.

    5$ she called no matter what you bet

    Hi Hobbes. You have always seemed like a knowledgeable player who gives solid input here on the forum. When we used to play regular forum tournaments you were a player who I never looked to get involved with.


    With that being said, Why are you playing $1MTT's? and do you think that in playing $1MTT's your own play is less sharp?

    Thanks for the compliment caddy.

    Basically playing the $1 MTT's for 2 reasons:

    1) trying to build up a bankroll on a site. I've moved it from $0 to 27.80 with freerolls, a bonus and playing LLNLHE games.
    2) Haven't played MTT's regularly online for about 6 months before that and I am getting back into them.


    Still play my regular buy-ins so that my own play stays sharp.

    That was exactly what I thought, and exactly why I thought it. At least bet the pot here, and make your oppt's pay to try to draw out on you.
