Well done on the cashes all - Waller, jj, Dagg, Steeley & wheels and anyone else I missed
Unlucky in those hands dagg - it's a tad frustrating sometimes, but good sound advice from harry though. Bet sizing consistently and not giving away info is very important. Ive been and still am guilty of this sometimes. I overbet pre-flop & then it costs me more down the streets, but it seams there is a very fine line between getting it right or allowing everyone into a multiway pot, something I have been working on, but always seem to fall back to my old habits.
Best of luck all in the Forum DTD Tonight- I will be running late as I have to pick the missus up at 7.30pm so I will pre-reg so I don't miss late reg.
Dagg- I will send you a PM laters today when I have more time so please keep an eye out for it.
In that particular case I raised 3x because of table dynamics with 2 players willing to call with any 2 cards. I would normally raise 2x at that stage in any tourney. I just felt 3x at that particular time was a good option. Trev you touched on multi way pots and thats what I was trying to avoid

Yeh - Like I say, it's a fine line to get it right.
The AK hand was our demise though, we are sitting with quite a nice deep stack size (47bigs?), so unless the guy is the loosest fish on the planet (and even then it's debatable) I don't see why we have to risk nearly 2/3rds of our stack with this hand when we are holding a decent stack and in good shape to go on & win the tourney.
Don't get me wrong.......If I have a much shallower stack, its all goin over the line and I'm happy to shove/call with it in that position, but not so happy calling with it for 2/3rds of my very nice stack.
If we 2 x on the other hand, we give him other options to think about........
option one: he shoves and only picks up the chips in the middle (Not optimal for him) option two: he calls hoping we get some of the flop option three:he 3 bets and hopes we have a stong enough holding to make the call
by 3x ing pre-flop I think you only gave him one option (to shove) because you have shown him the strength of your hand & he's very happy to go up against it, whilst if we 2x raise he will want to keep us in the hand and so has to think about the other options available to him and how it is best for him to extract all our chips & thus potentially making him make a mistake if we outdraw him. We also have the option to fold if we brick.
The other 2 hands after that were just a result of the AK - the 44 hand was just a mistake and in the 1010 we had no other option because of our shallow stack.
Meh, the effective stack is not even 30bb in the AK vs AA.
It should be a min raise, whether we then go with the hand will depend on the villain but more than likely its all going in. AK is such a monster at this stage. Sometimes they just have it, but we still have decent chips back.
44 is the biggest mistake and the catalyst for the exit. Easy min raise fold, or maybe even open fold. 3x calling off is the nut worst line.
Well had a good night on the DTD's only thing is I forgot too reg in time, was an honest mistake and thought it was monthly getting mixed up with the orfy, miby would have had good points

It wouldn't really make you feel any better if I told you your score was good enough for 2nd overall?
guys I still can't post any hands on this thread, yet they seem to work on the clinic, can I ask you to have a glance at a hand I posted (even if just for comedy value) from last nights DTD.
Just a couple of thought I had about this type of situation, please comment there or here if thats easier.
Sorry I've not been around or posted for a while, as the BR has dwindled to nothing. But I think the rest did me some good after busting out of the UKOPS Main when I was hoping to make it into the money.
Anyway less of my probs......... A BIG WELCOMEto the team ASH and EVSbach (you wouldnt be WELSH by any chance would you??????!!!!!!!) and nice to see so many people doing so well at the tables......except Neil( it will change around mate....just be patient and do whats right. As you know you cant BIRDIE every HOLE!!!!!!!!!!)
I had some fun today on my favourite satellite day, though it took me 3 goes to qualify for tonight's TURBO, but then I won an All-in Sat. (Chris_Mc did better by winning at least 2!!!!) and in another Direct Sat. I really really did run GOLDEN (and Chris will back me up coz he was sat watching.....It did help him to qualify again too) Trouble was I used up all my LUCK. Oh well at least I made a nice profit on the day.
GOOD LUCK to ALL who are still Battling away....And as ALWAYS......
.......May the CASH be with you ALL

The AK hand was our demise though, we are sitting with quite a nice deep stack size (47bigs?), so unless the guy is the loosest fish on the planet (and even then it's debatable) I don't see why we have to risk nearly 2/3rds of our stack with this hand when we are holding a decent stack and in good shape to go on & win the tourney.
