Macular Degeneration Change Cellos

big night Poker for a prize draw ... sick life ...

Last night I played a lot ... really, killing more than 9k miles on Winamax:
- some MTTs will not report that a sub
- some SnG: excellent start by winning a $ 300 and making a 2nd $ 200, then I end up losing about twenty Sit at $ 100! balance of the evening - $ 500 ... What downswing ... wow ...
- in Cash: I go back a little better doing my traditional 9-tabling, my game is back, I made good gains, and good laydown when necessary. I won $ 800
balance of the evening: null, BR always to 12.4 k. ..

I also did the $ 109 PokerStars 19h. Long ago that I wanted to make a beautiful MTT on PokerStars, but my schedule just has always charged me so far prevented.

However, I would give you a hand that happened to me yesterday.

The beginning of the tournament goes well because I triple my starting stack amount in a beautiful rug to 9k in blinds 100/200. I'm in the top 20 with 250 players remaining. (60 paid)

I AKo the button. The only player that covers me at the table (24k carpet: it is the tournament chip leader) UTG raise from 1 to 6000! yeah, it's 30 times the blinds!

be clear: this is a misclick: he wanted to hit 600 and a 0 more ... It happens from time to time in GC, when I multi-table. Blinds in 1 / 2 when I want raiser at 7, my finger slips slightly on the 4th before I confirm my recovery, and boom here I am to revive in blinds at $ 74 1 / 2 with a random hand KQo, 74S, T7o .... wtf!

Anyway back to the hand of the tournament. My opponent CL tournament then raise to 6000 in early position, fold up everybody me and my AK with a carpet of 8.8 k. ..
Clearly, if I make rugs he has to pay me ... I take my TimeBank to think. Raise-what with you it: it is chip leader, quite active, and even if it is in early position, you can put it on fairly broad range: 22 +, ATo +, and possibly suited connectors. Basically, my AK is well outside his range ... But the concern is that I'm pretty vriament in chips and I do not necessarily need to take any risk at this stage of the tournament ... Conversely, if I win the shot I go my stack to around 20k and am in the top 3 of the tournament. I could bully the table and then take control until cashed. It is this last thought, decided me to push my stack. ALL-IN! SB and BB
pass. My opponent thinks ... Committed but is paying me with ... Ah7h (=> it was indeed a misclick on his part)

A4h5h flop,: he has a flush draw plus 7: 12 cards: one is almost a coin flip at this point ... not change the turn, giving me a statistical advantage and the river that many players fear will destroy my hopes for this tournament chip lead on displaying a beautiful 7. With

Looking back, no regret at having to push my chips at the time of the game, although I think I could go far in this tournament without this move, the advantage of being chip leader in the middle of the tournament is so huge (and deep pleasure Player of the coup), the opportunity presented itself there was really grasp I think. But it was not my night ... never mind, it will retry the experiment on Thursday (tomorrow).
