    Default Here's the end of my $30 MTT rebuy/add-on Tourney

    I'm gonna edit this sucker so it's just important hands, I'll comment on what I was thinking at the time in italics after hands. The tourney is closing in on its second hour.

    Obviously this was a big hand for me - I took out two smaller than average stacks at once, and it put me up into the top 15 at this point. Not a lot to comment on since it was just a push hand

    When whatstehdeal all-inned I was pretty sure yashka would call basically no matter what, so I let this go as I didn't want a coin toss against whatsthedeal and really didnt want a three way with yashka. If I had played I woulda re-raised to try and push yashka out - glad I didnt.

    This was one of my ballsier/semi-stupid plays. Table was tightening up because we were getting close to the final 60 (ITM). Ended up being fine. Took a minor hit, but I think it made my table image seem loose.

    Last hand before the break. Guy all-inned - woulda been 2/3 my stack. I was VERY VERY tempted to call. Finally gave it up after thinking my shots of him having A lower kicker were not as likely as this being either 60/40 or 40/60 odds. Wasn't worth the coin toss to me here - too weak?

    This hand is the one I keep going over and over in my head. I was somewhere around 11th out of like 20 here. No matter what I was making an OK profit at this point. I think he actually had a hand here, so was it worth it to go all-in against the chip leader and hope for the best - or was this a good lay-down?

    No opportunity to steal came up - Danbolts has just doubled up and can wait me out leaving me in 12th out of 13 if I just ride it out. The blind is close to half my stack, so I won't be able to scare anyone out and steal blinds if I do fold. So I figured screw it I have too much in the pot - lets hope they are both live and hope for the best. They weren't. And out in 13th I went. Danbolts who was in last ended up winning this sucker.

    Any comments/suggestions would be appreciated.

    In general I liked.... a couple comments on what I would have done differently.

    #832852122 [55]
    With only two ranks on the board and the field checking to you, I'd rather see a big bet here. Sure, somebody might be trapping and you'll have to let it go, but I hate seeing that many chips in the pot without taking a legitimate shot at it. Fire out a good bet here and you probably take this down. Dude ended up taking it down with a weak bet. I would have been tempted to raise him big.

    #832861611 [22]
    Ew. I don't like the call here. Basically you played this hand with a hit-or-fold mentality. The flop didn't show anything great, yet you folded to any sign of strength. The chip lead was going to throw a bet out on the flop no matter what, so you pretty much threw this money away. There are two lines I'd be tempted to take on this hand. Either push or fold. If you push, you're likely a coin flip (or he might fold). The guy put out a large bet... so I'm willing to bet he doesn't have a high pocket pair. He probably has overcards on you. Pushing gives you two ways to win, either he folds or you double up. Calling resulted in an 88% chance you were going to lose half your chips (since when you didn't hit your set you were lost). Put the tough decision on him or fold.

    #832876035 [99]
    Auto-push for me. Earlier you were willing to call half your stack with 22, and now you're folding 99? At worst you're likely a coinflip, at best he only has one overcard and you're dominating. You missed a great chance to pick up a lot of chips on this hand. You only have 6xBB left... this is the best opportunity you'll get to double up.

    I think you missed a couple chances to add a lot of chips to your stack. You were in a dangerous position for a lot of this.... you need to find opportunities to add to your stack.

    The 99 I am really kicking myself over - I agree - I missed my chance. Got too caught up in not wanting to face the chip leader, but at that point I doubt he wouldv'e liked my all-in either. If I lost to a monster there, oh well.

    55 - I too was thinking about a bet. Problem was the slowplayed Q and the flush draw scared me. I also felt like it would take a decent size bet to get anyone else out, and I didn't want to all-in there. I'm not totally upset about my play there.

    22 - I am in total agreement with you. I put him on Ax. My plan was to stop and go here. Call the preflop and all-in with no A on the flop. Flop hit for me and for whatever reason I put him on A7-T and gave it up. I think the fold was my best play here.
