Hi John,
I'm not sure I understand the question, exactly what you are asking, to be honest. Can you clarify?
But I will say this.
Too many people over-complicate things, & end up out-thinking themselves.
You seem to be making Finals for fun, so your game is in good shape - don't mess with it.
The only rule about Final Tables is to get balance between laddering, & getting the shorties out of the way, & the increase in aggression needed as the players reduce to 5-4-3 etc. The less players remaining, the more aggro you become. Even I play the occasional hand when it gets down to 3 players......
ok basically on a few occasions i have been overplaying it and made silly moves when i have been 4 out of 6, have you any advice on this.
1 example i shoved around 12 BB with 22 utg+1, got snapped by 10's which is understandable but its pretty bad, if in later position not so bad. another example is i had q6 on bb i re-raised to 700 to try get someone to fold, they call then flop came Q109, so i dont get a difficult decision i shoved with top pair no kicker again snapped by flopped straight was 2 spades on flop 2
in short i think i have developed fancy play syndrome any advice?

Stop doing it?
lol
What do you want him to say??????
You know what you're doing wrong, just stop doing it .............
I can't really improve on JJ's advice, to be honest, John!
You don't need us to tell you that if you shove for 12xBB with 2-2, the only possible hands to look you up will be crushing you. You get the same response if you make it 3xBB. Or just let go, & wait for a better spot.
I think you may be right, though, confidence breeds F-P-S, but recognizing these mistakes is like a slap in the chops, it serves a purpose.
raise 3bb?? 2.2 FTW, ok tikay cheers anyway i appreciate its myself i just wondered if theres anything else i can do to stop doing it!
another problem has been my mentality has changed against weak players i think im too good and will get their chips to easy, sometimes i do sometimes this is my downfall again i think its me nevermind

Good luck you, raising 2.2BB with pocket two's, though that's purely down to personal style, & Table/stack Dynamics, & we could debate the merits of either/both all day & night & not reach concensus.
What would be quite easy to agree are the merits or otherwise of open shoving 12Bigs with deuces, versus finding a better spot.
Jammin 12 bigs in early position isn't ever gonna be too bad.....
Especially on the bubble.....
It's a better move than limping, and far better than raise folding.
Your options were shove/fold......
I think I prefer a fold, although with the bubble dynamic it's so tempting to jam, it's 50/50 imo, you can't really go wrong whatever you do as long as you don't limp or raise fold.
Folding is fine though, pretend it's 7-2o, grimouse, and let it go, with the intention of shoving a wider range(weaker hands) from the cut off/button/sb in unraised pots.....
Your weapon is fold equity, not the fact that you have a pair, it's easier to make 1 or 2 players fold than it is 4 or 5.
Don't beat yourself up about it, learn from it....next time your in that situation, assess your options and have a game plan.
The queen 6 off suit however is a completely different story ..lol......

Many thanks Joe, & welcome to the Sky Poker Community. Just enjoy it, it's why it's here.
I watched him playing in a cash game recently, where he was drunk. You might have seen me post the link.....
Not sure how drunk he really was mind, and how much it was an act.......but it was very entertaining to watch, although his play was terrible, and the other guys didn't appreciate his antics.
.......was your reply on the show, "no comment" a genuine reply?
You don't have an opinon?
You have an opinion, but you didnt want to share on TV?
You have an opinion but you don't wanna share it anywhere? lol
to whom it may concern i have a ? re a hand i recently played live in a casino...just wondered what peeps thoughts were on this. it was a 9 handed table. basically it ended up with a caller acting b4 me then i raised it and was called and the intial caller called as well. I had the pocket rockets (both black) and was 2nd to act the flop came down all hearts and the guy who intially called put in a pot sized bet which scared me off and i folded, the guy after me he raised all in and the intially bettor folded his hand. My thinking regarding the fold of the aces was that the guy had hit his flush (maybe a small one) and wanted to protect it incase a 4th heart came down. thats how i saw it can u pls giv info or feedback as to mayb how i should have played this hand or did i do ok?? many thx in advance
Tikay, What 'is' your view on Phil Laak??? I watched him playing in a cash game recently, where he was drunk. You might have seen me post the link.....

I have an opinion on everything & everyone!
Sometimes, however, it's best not to air views & opinions. In truth, I'm not a huge fan, shall we say, but I think it's wholly wrong to flame or criticise people who are defenceless, or have no chance to reply, or cannot reply in kind.
Fair to say, umm, he's quite pleasant, normal, & likeable when he is sober, & not affected by, err, other stuff.
Please don't ask me about Miss Tilly, either.
Glad you asked, as it reminds me, totally unconnected, but I want to send you a PM about something. Give me 5 mins, & you'll have it.

Hi Bud,
Not much to go on there, the "Table Dynamic" is crucial in these spots, as to what sort of style the other guy had.
If I had to solve this one "blind", I'd guess he never had a flush at all, I don't think he (usually) bets a flopped flush 3-way.
My totally "shot-in-the-dark" guess is that he had something like A-K or A-Q, with the A of Hearts. The play from him would make perfect sense if he did.
So you were ahead, but need to dodge another heart to stay ahead.
