I am new but I am considerablly more advanced than a complete beginner I think it fair to say in my past three weeks intense study and play. I was playing pot value and the fact I had a read on my main oponent here Thunder. Betfair is no different to any other poker site. Pot odds exist because even a A-A-A-K-K is no certainty. I have learnt that much from this wonderful forum already, and am merely trying to give a little back to the community.

As for my loose play, considering the read and the texture of the flop I think it was fine, I doubled my chip stack. One thing I've learnt in these formats of tournaments is you HAVE to take risks (as Harrington advocates re SA style in middle/late stages of small stake MTT).

Cheers
