Hand 0278666194. I knew I was behind after the initial raise so I thought it was a good spot to gamble in with my hole cards. If this was a deepstack, I would of just called to see a flop and reevaluated, but in this structure, you do have to gamble more early doors IMO. Your thoughts please Ed?
Great show as always.. could you play hand 278666365 for me.
I'm interested on your faults on how I played it.
Did I do well to keep some chips, the min raise made me think they had the Q. Should I have just avoided getting involved pre? I know I made the correct call on the end, results wise, but is it too tight long run to not re-raise in this structure?
I sometimes have the music player on my Pc and 1 in 5 songs are Elvis and if the King is playing Im more inclined to make the Re-raise with a drawing hand than folding or calling! He can also "help me" make a big call on the end! With varying results!
Hi guys – great show , glad its back to this format rather than last weeks experiment – I went down to just over 300 chips in first 10 mins of 2nites tourney and was thinking “well thats it for another week” BUT here I am at the first break with well over 5000 chips.
I guess this post is aimed at all the short stacks out there- Dont ever give up – keep playing yer game and you never know. – Its never over until the fat lady (or Tkay) sings LOL
I would like Ed's take on this hand and don't sit on the fence as usual! haha

Unusually for this table, everybody bar one limped in! After the flop and with only 2800 (14BBs) back, I decided to make a move. I figured that, even though I probably wasn't ahead, the all in would push most hands off and if(?) I got called I would have plenty of outs! Hmmmm!
Possibly not my best decision but I was ahead.......when the money went in! lol
Oh, and the iPod thing? Well I'm with Ed on this one but if I did want music in my ears it would have to be the Kenny Rogers classic The Gambler or Basket Case by Green Day!!!

Hand History #278690584 (21:16 08/08/2010)
limped round to me pre - i am in the BB
hit top pair and bet it with one caller
i got suspicious the UTG limp was limping with aces/kings
just a feeling
so put it down as had a weak kicker and these situations always end in trouble for me
Hand History #278694237 (21:25 08/08/2010)
pocket kings with a dreaded ace on the board - followed by flush possibly made
had to put this down
am i being too tight?
