whosever playing today, post your result and describe your last hand/ play that cost you the tournament.

[Laeelin]

sorry. I cant do that... I'll be forced to post the winning hand instead.

[sandstorm]

I'm taking a shot, never played one this big before, but have had some good days at ring so why the heck not.

[Laeelin]

I normally sat in and unregister for the money, today I decided to not unregister..

One cool thing is that I won this entry with 1200FPP's

ps: I'm recording it as well

[Laeelin]

I thought it was good...

Edit: even if you read him as a small pair it was good... only 77+ and A8+ had you in a bad posistion... and his range was a lot wider than that.

[sandstorm]

Yeah, kinda my thinking too. But he could easily have had A8+, but the pot and my situation leaned it towards the call I guess. I'll second-guess that more later

[sandstorm]

ok push/fold mode

[Laeelin]

GL!

[sandstorm]

still alive after a few push-steals

[sandstorm]

just realized i have hoyt corkins at my table. cool.

[sandstorm]

61st, gg me. $1156

[Laeelin]

well played, GG...

[sandstorm]

thanks. i knew the BB in the last hand was weak, (last hand before a step-up in prize money too). too bad the sb had a decent hand... god i'm tired. it's 4.42 am. gnight and thanks for the support, that was fun.

[midas06]

gg

[givememyleg]

gj! Lambchop would say "ppfffff 61st"

[zenbitz]

Yeah, kinda my thinking too. But he could easily have had A8+, but the pot and my situation leaned it towards the call I guess. I'll second-guess that more later

I think you would prefer a higher kicker than a 7... but at some point "any ace will do". Or is that not poker???

[shysti]

me personally, I would need a better kicker here 10 and up.

[chardrian]

He's already in the bigblind. So his pot odds here are 32535/82770 = 39%. If his A7 has an equity of over 39% against his opps' range it was a good call.

So really the question here is what range do you put your opp on.

Here's a plausible range with an M less than 5:

Even with a tighter range (any pair, any broadway, A7+) makes the call fine:

I had to come up with what I consider to be a pretty tight range to get less than 39%:
