10+1 LHE tourney on stars

i had some big swings if ur paying attention to the who's online post or if u were watching it......

busted out 23rd of 236

Dear Pigga,

You finished the tournament in 23rd place.
A $21.42 award has been credited to your Real Money account.

You earned 73.34 tournament leader points in this tournament. (like i'll make enough to even matter hahaha)


During current Hold'em session you were dealt 214 hands and saw flop:
- 14 out of 25 times while in big blind (56%)
- 11 out of 27 times while in small blind (40%)
- 38 out of 162 times in other positions (23%)
- a total of 63 out of 214 (29%)
Pots won at showdown - 16 of 27 (59%)
Pots won without showdown - 23

decent stats, maybe needed to tighten up a bit more, i was able to steal alot of pots w/ like KQ/KTs near the bubble and build an ok stack.....better luck next time i guess

Comments

  • Hand i screwed my self with , i thought i might of taken it down on turn.....representing AK.....and figured my only chance to win it was to bet the river hoping he'd fold

  • Hi Pigga,

    Congrats on making it deep into a MTT. A couple of thoughts on the hands you posted:

    I like the EP raise with 22. It's a nice aggressive play at a time in the tournament when most players are probably tightening up. I know you don't want to commit too much of your stack with deuces, which is probably why you only doubled the blinds, but you have to either raise more, or fold. Just doubling is possibly the worst way to play these cards in this spot, IMO.

    When I'm in the BB, more often than not if someone just doubles the blinds I'll call with any two, hoping to hit a flop, hard. I think you should have folded the deuces, or tripled the blinds.

    Your second hand is pretty straightforward... when your stack is that short you simply have to do what you have to do.

    Again, congrats on the finish. MTT's are all about survival (up to the final table) and you managed to find ways to outlast a lot of your opponents.

    Cheers,
    all_aces

  • I have a feeling my employers wouldn't appreciate me downloading Stars onto this computer... GL though. By the way, how do you manage to play in all these daytime tournaments? Are you a pro poker player, a student, or a lucky person with a very laid-back work environment?

    Cheers,
    all_aces
