Hijacked and Cappy.... it was a great discussion..... hope to have more soon...I havent been on FCP in a long time, and forgot that it's still a good strat forum and intelligent discussionsbtw... now wednesday... i think im developing an ulcer ... lol
-
The replays of the final table of the sunday million?I honestly try to watch everyone..... I think it's a great learning tool in many cases of final table play.

I think I know what you're asking.Quick Answer...In a Re-buy tournament...Real Answer... Im still thinking.Good food for thought.

The first point is true. I take that back.The 2nd point however Im not sure? He invested just over 10% of his stack with his raise..... pot commiting? tightit doesn't really cripple him if he looses. he still has a very playable stack in case his jacks don't hold up. also he showed you that he's willing to commit himself to the pot if you shove. -
Hijacked.......... you pretty much summed up why I made the play right there........Cappy...... you make excelllllent points overall and to be honest, and not results biased..........If i could, i would go back and call the raise.......fold the flop......and probably won 159kCappy, his range is too big. If he's a solid player, he's always raising AQ, AJ in this spot. I know I am. There is absolutely no reason to suppose Marc_O has a big hand. A small all-in and a call. He should put Marc_O's range at A9+, 66+ at the smallest. Therefore Marc_O's AK becomes a huge hand compared to the big stack's range. Pushing is by far the best play.
ughhh still 2 days of work gone by and all ive thought about lol.Thanks for all the analysis guys....

This is almost the MAIN reason I re-popped all in........ To Say "Look I have an absolute Monster, BACK OFF"...... becasue my re-shove of 75 000 more cripples him, and my intention is he would recognize this and fold......therefore I pick up approx 20,000 more + 7500 of the shortie......who by the way shoved A 7I looked at the hand again to see if I missed something and to me, the position of the players is the key. The shortie in the hijack open shoves. Basically, his range is ATC here. Now what is our range for a call or a raise? Whether we call or raise from the CO, the players behind us have to think that we could be making a move to pick up the shorties' dead money in the pot. By just calling, our hand really looks weak; either that or we hold a monster like AA/KK and we're trapping.I'm pretty sure that the big stack when he raises from the BB has a very wide range on my hand and this would be an excellent play to isolate against the shortie (it's what I would do seeing this action in front of me). Since we have position, we have to at least call here and see the flop. We get to act after the villain and if an ace or kings flops, then obviously we go to the mat. There's no way we fold AK to a raise from the BB after a shortie shove and overcall by us in position. The way the hand was played, my range on villain is much wider as he hasn't seen any strength in front of him - he could have two overcards that we dominate like AQ/KQ/KJ/AJ besides the PP's that are a slight favorite to our hand. We have FE if we shove over his raise if he has one of the weaker hands.As played, we either shove or call based on the range above. I still like the shove but I can see calling here in position and seeing a flop if we want to be conservative.Now if we had raised and the big stack shoves over us - I still think that the big stack's range is looser than JJ+, AK+ which based on onlyme's pokerstove stats, we are basically at break even. Tourney life vs having the chip lead. We can't underestimate the value of having the chip lead either if we win the hand, this is huge. Loosen up his range just a tad to Tens, AQ+ and it becomes much more ev+ which I know is different from tev. Now Phil Hellmuth might fold here but many of the math players who play longball wouldn't. That being said, my calling range of a shove in this scenario which didn't happen would be AA-QQ/AK while Cappy's was AA-QQ. That's pretty close if you think about it.Finally, I was 50bbs deep in the past WCOOP #1 and in the money so similar to this spot. I had snapped off another player twice and when he raised pre from the hijack, I raised back with JJ from the BB and he shoved and had me covered. I loosened my range of that player since I felt that he was probably getting frustrated and called and watched him turn over 88. Be very careful in how you set ranges for opponents especially if they have you covered - they know that you don't want to go home. -
Maybe I did not clairfy that my first instinct was that he was making a move on me? and i felt his range was a small pair or weaker ace which is def a coin flip.... but since he was so solid, and I figured he had the same image on me, that he would see that my Re-Pop all in would mean that I am super strong....( AA, KK, QQ ) even though i was holding AK..... i wanted him to put me on AA, KK, QQ.... therefore fold and I would pick up a nice pot off of his raise preflop........as far as the comment "real poker is played after the flop".........i could argue this a number of points in this specific hand... but what i just stated in my opinion is "real poker" and quite a thought processI think it's pretty simple... I'm safe in saying you are too willing to committ too many of your chips preflop... Real poker is played after the flop... If you really want to get deep in these donkaments, looks for spots to get yourself ahead after the flop and leave the preflop allins, and preflop over analysis to the railbirds... -
I now feel retarded, and should stick to 5 card draw
-
I think if I analyized the situation a litte longer then what I had I would have ended up folding to the raise or just calling and folding on the flop. However I could not get out of my mind that if I could become the chip leader this hand and coast my way to the FT.

Great responses guys.... thanks for the comments.It's almost 20 hrs later and Im still sick to my stomach to think I know HAD this thing final tabled for once. I know if I keep studying in this forum I'll get my break soon.

Hey guys, long time since I posted.Yesterday I took a shot at the FT 750k. Got in through a satellite. Anyways, The first 2 hours were pretty uneventful, just kind of coasted my way through and tried to survive.Right when the money bubble broke I went on a sick run and ran my stack up to the top 20 in chips with about 500 people left.A little while later I get moved to the chip leaders table, and I told myself, "ok i dont want to get involved in to many pots here with him". Well that didnt happen.In the first case i had AA utg. I raise 3.5x ..... he calls....9 high flop.... he had 10 10.... and managed not to go broke to my AA even though a nice flop for the both of our hands.Regardless, this hand showed me this guy was actually a good player and did not get his stack by luck.So about 20 hands later the following comes up.....blinds 1000-2000my stack 95,000chip leader, 175 000short stack, 7 500OK So I pick up AK in the cut off.......short stack directly to my right.....it folds around to him, he shoves his 7500......Now my first thoguht was....ok do I simply call? or throw out a raise with the sb and bb still to act...........I decide to call.......sb folds......now to the big stack who barely hesitates before raising me to 30 000. ...........woah i think ok slow down....... I feel hes making a move on me here because I simply called the all in for a cheap price? Or does he really have a hand?..... I end up putting him on a weaker A then me.......so I re-pop all in........he insta calls and turns up JJ........no help on the board and gg me 373 place.So anwyays I hope i gave enough info here for some analysis. I really want to hear your opinions. My friend who was railing said I should have just threw it away to his re-raise... or simply called and threw it away if i missed the flop. But my thoughts were that he thought I was weak, and was making a move. And I really felt I had him and my hand was either dominating or could get him to lay down.This hand is eating me......This was my best shot at final tabling this thing, as i was top 10 in chips at this point. The big stack eventually went on to claim 3rd. I can only think if I avoided this hand how I would have done. It's actually killing me to think.

Hey Guys,No it was not a Full Tilt staff member who helped with the chop. They are not as easy to shut down the tournamnets as Stars. Ive also heard that they do not encourage chops and generally frown upon them.Regardless, the winner does not seem like he is out to screw me, as he did email me and sent me a copy of a email from Full Tilt saying that his transfer to me was DECLINED. I email Full Tilt this morning about the issue and why it has been declined.Anyone else have any suggestions ?What would you do ?Thanks guys
