I choose to blog this tourney because I have been trying a more aggressive style of late and this tourney is a really large long tourney and I hit some interesting spots, deepstacked and shortstacked. I will warn you in advances as I always do, its long but I think there are some great hands for discussion in here. If anyone wants the full hand history give me a shout and I will send it off. For the record I finished 5th for $1688 but I am really happy with my especially deep.

I actually registered for this tourney 45 minutes late. This was the first hand I played. Its pretty standard, my check on the turn was planning to check call then check call the river. The reason I do this is because if I am beat, the villain is never folding if I bet but if I am good the villain may either bluff at the pot or believe he has the best hand. When that river hits, I lead hoping to get some value, why the villain shoves is exactly the reason $10 MTTs will always be +EV.

This is a pretty strange hand and the reason for 3 betting is pretty simple. This villain folds to 3 bets a lot as per poker tracker so I felt the villain would fold around ~80% of the time, the rest they are likely shipping. If for some miracle reason the villain flats (likely this villain ships JJ+ and folds <77 so really only 3 hands in his range he is flatting with) then I am forced to play a flop in position with 2 suited cards. Yes I binked the most miracle flop ever and got 30+ bbs in with the villain drawing dead but I am not making this play often and reserving it for opponents who are opening and folding enough to make it profitable.

Again cooler hand except villain should never be flatting pre. I put this in here just because I feel that a lot of people will raise the turn here – I agree the villain is never folding anyway but if villain has air here which is very much in his range, you want to give him a chance to hang himself. That is the reason being in position is so powerful because you can control the hand.

This is another pretty interesting hand. Normally C-betting the flop is the way to go here but I did not because of my image. Also its very likely I am ahead here. The issue here becomes now that this hand becomes much more complicated to play. If I raise the turn, my hand isn’t believable, if I fold I could be folding the best hand. It isn’t often the turn is floated but I decided to take that line and play the river accordingly. The river is a pretty good card for me because it should in theory slow the villain down if he is bluffing and my ace high may be good. Well the villain leads at this point which is pretty wacky because my flat on the turn and the river should scare the pants of the villain but he leads anyway. At this point, I feel like the villian’s hand has some showdown value but they are afraid to check because I will bet, they choose to bet/fold as a defense bet. At this point the villain has made the pot so big and I don’t feel I have the best hand but I also am pretty certain the villain has a marginal holding like A5,A7, 66, 88, 99. They also have 20 bbs left if they fold to my shove so I decided to ship here and the villain insta-folded. The difference between this hand and a normal poker hand is we are 3.5 hours into this MTT and this villain really doesn’t want to bust making a hero call for 20bbs with a marginal holding.

I debated this hand for quite sometime with Fishbones. Adam felt that based on my read that the villain had 77/AT+, it was a marginal shove on my part. I just felt with the overlay of the call here I didn’t need the best hand here a lot to make this call.

Yes I made this call and yes I realize its Ace high and yes I realize I won a huge pot hitting a 3 outer on the river. This has been debated forever but I fold AK preflop close to never. I am pretty certain I have not done it in 2010 and I probably did it 3 times max in all of 2009. The shover was a pretty agro player and I really feel he plays AK,AQ, JJ, TT the same way. I will never really change my thoughts on this and no one has ever been able to convince me that folding is profitable in this spot.

The villain here had just lost a lot of his stack in a flip this is a few hands later. I feel like KQ is ahead of his range here and I only have 10 bbs myself so folding here is just not an option.

This is by far one of the strangest hands I have ever played. I cannot understand how someone can play 4.5 hours in a tournament and make a call like this. I did play this hand pretty agro but the villain basically played his cards face up, I cannot see anything calling here that isn’t normally shipping the flop except for a very well played set which never leads the flop.

Normally a raise on the flop works vs someone who leads into you. Again position is key and flatting raises from the blinds is such a big leak in most people’s games.

This was a pretty crazy play but I just really felt like the villain was not that strong and he cant really call this shove with ace high. Again bluffing out of position is so much different than in position as I cant really afford to get fancy here.

This was a little bit of a weird hand. I did not really want to play a huge pot pre, also this player flat called many raises without raising so I think his 3 bet range was very narrow. Once this flop comes down the hand plays itself because I cant really fold at this point.

This was a pretty risky cbet but both blinds were pretty tight and I couldn’t see them touching this board they might have called with hands like 55, 77, 88 but I felt like there was a lot if turns that I could fire a 2nd bullet at and take it down. I kept my bet sizing low to try to control the pot.

This hand was pretty strange. I kind of felt like I was behind on the turn but couldn’t fold. When it checked to me I decided to take the free card but still call the river. When the villain checked the river I felt I was good so I was vbetting river. I don’t like raising big pre but I felt the limpers would likel

I felt I missed some value on this river because I don’t think the limper ever has a flush draw. Really the limper can’t have much here but may have called a river bet with A high.

This hand is pretty dumb. We are full table now and I knew the play would be tight. I think check/calling this flop is more profitable. Seems weird to be bluffing top pair but the way I played this I cant really call, I can only ship.

I missed more value on the river here. I was worried about JJ ot TT which I think wee in the villains range. I didn’t think the value I got was worth the risk of falling below 20bbs so I checked this one back on the river.

This was a pretty standard fold but I put it in there because I don’t believe in isolating with a hand like 88 in this spot.

This was a huge hand and really gave me a great stack as we got closer to the FT. Again this player doubled me up earlier and their range was wide with QQ being a very surprising hand to turn over here.

After playing with this villain for a really long time I was pretty certain I was good here, flatting was going to be complicated because any turn would be confusing. I think taking it down right on the flop is the best play. I am certain villain check raises a queen here so I pretty much have great equity vs most of his likely range.

I think I was pretty much the only player to 3 bet at the final table and it proved very profitable. I don’t think I was raising for value here because if I was 4 bet I was always beat but this villain was very capable of folding a wide range they opened with to a 4 bet.

This hand is pretty complex and a bit crazy at the same time. Basically I just think this villain would think I would fold to a lot of 3 bets and I think they are folding many significant hands here. My hand plays terrible if I get called by a pp 77+ but I think the villian’s range is air, AK, AA or KK here with air being everything he folds. I think the villain still calls with JJ,QQ but might fold almost every other holding. He proudly told everyone he folded AQ which although shocking I think is believable.

Again same villain raising the puck and folding. I think based on position this villain is folding a lot as they raised almost every button.

There was really nothing to say or to write about this hand. It just sucked, I think I played it optimally to stack my opponent sometimes when you do that you are the one getting stacked.

After stealing blinds close to 20 times at the final table and being short for the first time in almost 6.5 hours of playing, I ship into players who have folded over and over and run into AK. I think the ship here is pretty standard even more standard vs players who have been folding frequently.
I was pretty happy with this tourney. Over 3700 players and 9 hours long, it’s a marathon with really deep stacks towards the end. I felt like I had an edge at the final table and got coolered but I did run great to get there.
