hi guys is it possible to show this hand?? just wandering if i made the right fold... i know this time it was a good fold but is it the right fold over a period of time?? is it a - ev fold or should i have called??
This is the sort of hand I hate playing early stages of a tournament- any advice on how you'd play this? Had to raise preflop ofc, but then postflop is where I get in trouble often when I miss- I always convince myself if they had top pair they'd raise, and proceed to triple barrel bluff 75% of my stack, to find they have top pair or can't fold second pair. Thoughts?
Interesting thoughts guys- what I'm curious is, at what point in early stages (where standards are really bad, and most players are unlikely to let go of any pair and you don't know who's good and who's bad) do you give up and chalk it up as a missed bluff? It's a very deep structure, and obviously patience is important, so how willing are you normally to continue to bluff unknowns? The point on confidence is a good one, and a lot of my early moves have been running into hands lately and could be affecting me slightly, but I see it currently as trying to fix a leak in my early game by bluffing too much, and trying to tighten up. Do you stop as soon as you miss the flop, or do you fire 1/2/3 barrels out of position?
Later on, I have no problems attempting these bluffs, and if I run into made hands it's no bother really- these things happen and you have to deal with it, the structures aren't deep enough at that stage to get too fancy.

Good grief...... 6th in chips...... 3bet the table clown with TT and he shoves...... I instacall and he ofc flips over A9o.... he had like 6-7k chips lolol. How do some people manage to dress themselves in the morning? Very next hand i wake up with QQ and 3k chips left or so....... Ofc i'm up against AA..... GG Primo.
I'm still staring agape at the A9o play....... Feel free to show it on TV and lol in my direction
Thaks for answering my earlier question James,i have been watching Sky Poker for about two years now and i have been really impressed with the standard of guest on the shows.James Keys is keeping up that standard tonight.
I have to say the thought process that James Keys shows when discussing a hand is fascinating.I dont bother playing tournaments i stick to micro stakes cash but even a low level player like me can learn something from this guy.

Glad you are enjoying the guests, keeping watching for more big names. Don't forget James Keys will also appear in Team Sky Poker Classic at 8pm this Tuesday!
I stated in an earlier post on the "studying poker actually makes you worse.....discuss" thread that I am still enjoying my poker....if I wasn't I wouldn't play.......I go to work to not enjoy myself!
However, I suppose my realisation is that I am better/have better results (which is let's face it, is the only barometer) when I play instinctively rather than when I try to play "correctly".
I can't believe that I am the only one?
And I don't believe that you can get to the end of the road, especially in tournaments, by only playing "correctly"
P.S Off to Vegas again next month on another freebie won on a different site, so not frustrated.
