Message: [QUOTE="blankoblanco, post: 479395, member: 11119"] [B]January 21st[/B] [B]Started with: $1441.00[/B] [B]Ended with: $1469.20 [COLOR=green](+$28.20)[/COLOR][/B] [B]Time played: 4 hours 15 minutes[/B] session notes: only played the cc deepstack tourney today and cashed in 4th place. i felt i played well through most of it. early on i won a lot of hands without showing down, and when i did show down it was generally a very strong hand. i was very fortunate when i flopped a set of Ks vs. a flopped set of Ts and basically doubled up there. went card dead for a while but stayed among the chip leaders for the first few hours. then, in a SB vs BB situation i called a short-ish stacks all-in with KQs. the all-in was kind of an overbet and given the SB vs BB situation, i figured the range to be a small PP, A-rag, or maybe something like KJ or QJs that i'd be dominating. i was roughly in a coinflip situation with A-rag or a small PP, so i decided to gamble a little bit to attempt to build my stack. i had enough chips to where i could take the hit and still be healthy, but i didn't really have to take that risk there. the length of the event may have influenced my decision-making. he ended up having A-rag offsuit, making me a very slight underdog (54%-46%), and i lost the race. ran into some crummy flops for hands like TT and JJ, which chipped me down a little bit. eventually i was the short stack out of 4 remaining players. i standard-raised T9 with position and got a call from the big stack. flop came 886. the big stack made a 3/4 pot bet into me. hands i figured i could have been up against were just about any pair 9s or under excluding 8s and 6s, since they wouldn't bet that large (i think he'd have re-raised me PF with TT, and maybe with 99 as well)-- or just two high cards. if he had a low pair, i might be able to push him off the hand, and even if i couldn't, with 2 overcards, a gutshot straight draw, and three 6s as outs, i'd be at about a coinflip to beat any small pocket pair except 77. if he had two high cards, i could definitely push him off the hand. so i pushed all-in. lo and behold, he calls and shows 77, the only likely holding that i was really in trouble against. so i missed a T, 9, or 7 and was out of the tournament. some people could criticize me for that move, but i'm happy with it, and overall pretty happy with my play.
