Message: [QUOTE="Poker Orifice, post: 1976957, member: 33113"] Great to see that Tournament play is still a very profitable proposition (just from reading some of the posts in this thread). As far as the play being 'freeroller-ish', I think many players with perhaps less experience at higher level play will misunderstand the position players are putting their opponents in with light 4bets vs. stack sizes & table dynamics (ie. ICM) where it puts villain in an extremely awkward position as they won't likely be deep enough to just flat pre so are left with the tough decision of going for it... shove or fold vs. the 4bet. So what might appear like a > zomfg!!! that freak'n donkey just 6bet-allin w A6o might actually be a great play given the circumstances (some of which we will be unaware due to metagame stuff). Only questionable play I witnessed was the Euro dude getting 80bb's in pre with KQ (vs. AK) with some 25-30bb stacks on the table. I think this play was just bad in general but also with ICM considerations it made it that much worse! I did fall asleep for a couple of hours of the 3-handed play though but the parts I did watch I thought were played real well. More commentary from Olivier Busquet would always be appreciated (but then again, the general poker public might be listening & actually get better which is obviously -ev). Antonio does a nice job too, but maybe goes one level less deep as far as levels of thinking go (probably more suited to the poker audience viewing the tournament though). 'gg' 'wp' by all! Especially the final 3! (Ausmus did a GREAT job of moving up too!). Glad I stayed up til' 6am watching this play out even if it made a mess of my day on Wed. [/QUOTE]
