I'm there but have my chat banned still because I called for cards in that tourney that bmwcouple played a while back. They still haven't unbanned my "1-month" chat ban.

i play somewhere between 8 and 15 tournies on days i play, and i play 5 or 6 days a week usually.my bankroll is around 40k... every week i withdraw the balance over 40k (this isn't fixed.. could be 38, 39, 42, etc) and put it in index funds, so it's never over 40k, although theoretically i have a lot more fwiw, there's no chance i'm not gonna win this triple crown. be back sometime in the next few days :]

dang....your results speak for themselves.. but a 40k bankroll with a lot of extra poker money that has been made is impressive. How old are you?

19NEED MOAR OPINIONS ON THAT HAND... BE HONEST IF YOU THINK I'M TERRIBLE[/quoteUR TERRIBLE!.. lol kidding... nah i think its an instamuck bro... cold call there screams monster hand, or AK... don't know the quality of his play, but i'd like to assume that he is folding AJ,AQ, TT and 99 to this guy, and even JJ if he has any clue... no need to make a play like this here, i fold and move on

I may not have the credentials to make this comment but, I think you didn't think through that hand well enough. Unless the caller was a complete donk and you think he can make that call with a lower PP your never in clear saling. But that's just how I would think of it. Online tourneys are different since the blinds are so high and all so I guess gambling in that position isn't such a wrong choice.

[Flack_attack 0]

My bankroll is around 17,000,000. I play 5-6 tournies a day and average about 10 final tables per day.

FYP

[astros11ss 0]

marky i don't think i can "instamuck"... it's 15k more to me and there's over 100k in the pot, even if i'm not shoving i think i have to smooth call preflop. if he pushed into me on the flop i prolly coulda got away from it, but if he checked to me on that flop i woulda shoved anyway... i dunno, weird hand, guess i shoulda played it more passive.

[GrinderMJ 0]

I would probably just call. Muck if he bets, shove safe flops if he checks.

Hand History

I find that a lot of peopel lately have been flat calling with huge hands hoping to get a squeeze play out of someone. I've busted in at least 5 tourneys where I try and Squeeze with AQ or AJ or TT only to find someone insta call with AA or AK (in this case even JJ). It's more prevalent lately than ever before, as squeeze plays are getting more popular.I call the flop, and check it down. When two people show strength, its hard to think ur 8s are good here (note that the guy who only flat called the guys all in is showing a ton of strength, considering if he had a marginal hand, he would probably try to isolate). Id at least check the flop and turn, if he's still checking, bet the river. But this isnt a hand I would like to go broke on.

[Mercury69 3]

You, sir, are GODZILLA!!!!!! Tokyo's going DOWN!As far as the call goes, I'd be inclined to simply call and see what the flop brings. With both of them in, I'd put at least one on an overpair. 88 isn't that strong against 2 people.

yeah i definetely think you can call here, although 15k is a lot of your remaining stack to draw to two outs with

AT first I thought its an easy muck or call. But the more I think about it I think you played it right and got unlucky. You're not really worried about the short stack, and the middle guy is folding in that spot almost all the time. He just happened to have a big hand. You could make an arguement for a call, but that puts you in a tough spot on the flop. Unless its a scary flop or you flop a set you still may get nailed. He checks a safe flop and you bet, then he check raises and your committed. I like the push, its gets maximum value for you if your up against an over pair and eliminates a decision on the flop, plus forces the BB out most of the time.

not true at all... i don't think he folds there a lot of the time, because it's very possible he coldcalls with a hand like AA or KK inducing bkice to shove in or at least put some more chips in the pot... may look at it as a gamble, but with only 4 left or whatever there were, i like the play... he did end up having JJ so he sucks but yeah i can see him flatcalling AA there

I agree that he can flat call there with AA or KK, but I don't think he has those hands enough of the time to worry much. I did say that I think it was played correctly. I can see him calling with and then folding Ak-A10 KQ, KJ, 66-99. And I see those hands occuring more often than AA or KK, thats why I said he folds most of the time. Maybe I am wrong, but in that spot I just don't worry that much about AA or KK. If he has it, oh well tough luck. But if he does have it I want to see all 5 cards to maximize my suckout potential.

eh, i think you might feel differently if you had been at the table.. he had been playing pretty weak, and esp with the kind of payout jumps he's working out in his head if i knock out third place, i still think he's folding the majority of hands he's limping with there. it's true that he could have smooth called with aa or kk but i really didn't think he was a tricky opponent and really thought he had a marginal hand, as i said maybe 99 or tt but more likely aj-aq-ak (all hands i would have end up beating for the very significant sidepot if he had called, which i didn't think he would, except for ak and possibly tt). also, think about how strong my hand looks from his perspective (very, i think)also, i think he played his jj absolutely terribly and shoulda instashoved over the top of me... i'd be interested to know what he was thinking about that hand... dunno if he thought he was trapping, or if he was making a crying call, or what the hell he was doing, but i don't think his play was correct at all. a lot of the responses are looking at this hand in terms of "you have 88, a mid pocket pair, which is weak to a reraise and a call" but i think there is much more to this hand...
