Well, last nights post was the wham bam thank you maam
version. It was very late and I was very tired.

Got a monster run of cards at the key times. Enough that a
stranger who was observing our table even commented on it.
Even the guys at my table were a bit hesitant anytime I was
in a pot. High pockets, and AKo by the pail full. lol
(I showed them quite a few times too, just to help
intimidate the competition)

Of course I lost some big hands too, and fell way below the
average numerous times, so I tightened up a bit and
conserved chips until the cards swung back to me again.

Was down to 40,000 chips once at final table too, and clawed
my way back from it. Bluffs were working, good cards were
crushing, and it was a lot of fun.

For those that keep track of minutia....

It was not my largest tourney cashout, but it is my new
largest number of contestants spanked. Old record for me
was a 1st out of 1128 people, in a limit tourney last year.

Thanks for the kudos guys.

PS, don't buy Lotto 649 tickets this weekend cuz I have
mine already. lmao

DJP

Played in the $10 rebuy on stars last night. Could almost
smell that final table. lol Managed to cash out in 37th for
$163...


Also noticed my post count is 649. lol
So no more posts until after the Lotto draw tonite.

sirwatts cashed too

DJP

Congrats to Sir Watts, I see he beat me by about$60. Nice finish.

SirWatts

nice job to you too. I was insanely lucky I did not play great. You still would have beat me except on like the first hand after the bubble I was all-in on a flush draw and hit runner runner straight. On another note does restealing ever actually work? Am I the only weak tight donkey that folds to reraises before the flop? Seems like they always have a premium hand when I try this ,

DJP

Coincidently I was playing insanely great but couldn't get lucky. lmao

I havent tried this often, but I could see it working under the right conditions.
A)neihter player is commited (obv)
b) youve seen the original raiser lay down to re-raises
c)the re-raiser is a thinking/observant player
d)you have a tight image

both players are going to put you on a monster...and likely will lay down anything but AA and KK (probably QQ too)

I just re-read your question and i realized a totally didnt answer it.... i was thinking a raise, re-raise, and then a 3-bet by you in LP or the BB... similar to a squeeze play except with a raise from player 2 instead of a call....

and resteals work wonderfully with deep stacks (the situation youre describing i belive)- however with stars tournys your stack will generally not be in good enough shape to do this without commiting yourself (at least at a level where it is worth it to attempt this move)
i find it works best on the flop actually... after a continuation bet of a missed flop
