.. you bust everyone out of a tournament before late registration has ended. Do you win it, or do you just sit there waiting until the late registration time has elapsed?
I just played a £500 bounty hunter where many players have been eliminated during the first two levels which is what got me thinking. Unfortunately, I was one of those who were eliminated. Exit hand below for those who are interested:
Feel free to comment on the play if you like. I imagine a few of you won't like the check on the flop, but I don't think I mind that so much. Obviously a check for deception, and those cards are unlikely to have hit anything major in the opponents pre-flop raising range. The big mistake in my opinion was just calling on the turn, slow playing aces is a trap that it's hard not to fall into.

It's a simple flat call on river all day with that runout.
You thought you were ahead anyway, but are also trying to represent an even better hand? Some kind of high level range merging going on?
River is a call or fold. What worse hands, as played, are going to pay you off when you jam for perceived value?
There are many combos of raise peel type hands that are beating just one pair by the river.
It's hard to see what you are repping by river
trying to trap maybe / deception. But you reraised pre which is fine but it just feels strange the way you played it as you have not tried to build a pot with the best hand on two important streets which gives you're hand strength away to one pair ish which you think is stronger and worth more than it is.
The funny thing is you don't mention villains hand at any point what you think he has and what you can beat or get to fold if you are trying to bluff by the river
One thing I'm slowly learning in poker Is deception is achieved by playing your strong hand / value hands in the same way as your draw or combo draw hands in a very similar fashion so you blur the lines of what you're opponent a ) thinks your doing b ) what you are holding c) what his options are. When you are facing aggression repeatedly you can limit opponents options or choices.
As I know how the hand played out I don't think you get him to fold any street with the route you chose to take Maybe a flop shove maybe. But he hits top pair picks up an fd on turn and rivers two pair. Your river raise is not big enough due to stacks to get a lot of good players to fold two pair.
Hope this helps Danny
Peter can raise the turn, but he can't check raise the turn due to being in position.
I think a river flat and it's played ok, unconventional but it's good to mix it up every now and then. The very clear mistake in the hand is to jam the river, as played.
Always good to see hands like these brought up for comments from good players on how it should be played/could be played better, but I've noticed this couldn't have been your exit hand as you still had nearly 1300 chips left
Talking of @HAYSIE, is he OK? Not posted or played on Sky Poker for several days, & he usually plays every day.
Wish him well from me if you speak to him please.
However it is pleasing to note that you are finally getting the message on Brexit, and not listening to your hero Tim Martin.
Good luck on the tables.
Thanks for the GOOD LUCK wishes..... must have helped 'coz I've bagged myself a seat to SPT Manchester,,,,, and from playing two £2.30 sat's to quarter-final (qualified for Quarter but failed to make the Semi), and one £2.60 All-in which I won..... So it can be done
..... was it Mel's brother's funeral Tony?
I suppose there was an element of "okay, I know this player is aggressive, and they only started betting after I had checked the flop, so they're possibly trying a double-barrell bluff on the turn and river here". I think I answered a few of these questions above, but yeah, I'm seeing what all three of you are getting at now. Your comment about playing strong hands and draws in the same way is something I certainly need to work on. Thanks for the guidance

That's quite a range of hands that are beating one pair by the river no? And the flop was checked through so you missed a street of information.
Even if you think they are going for a turn and river double barrel bluff, this still doesn't mean you should jam the river. Calling allows you to pick their bluff off, jamming means you get called only by better hands.
