I am posting this to start a little in depth poker talk - that's not just general but more specific. Here we get the chance to talk shortstack play, bubble play and final table play - even HU - though it was over pretty quickly.

The first hand is maniacal I know - but I am loose early and ready to gambool a bit.
A very interesting hand is no 156. I didn't open push although very shortstacked. Have a look and discuss.

Wow Thats alot of hands there

Im sure youll give me a while to browse But I think you played hand 156 very well if you pushed pre flop with that It is likely that if you get called its a coin flip or you are a huge dog...

I presume that you would of gone with the hand preflop anyway if someone did come over the top...

I think that it was a kind of stop and go play that worked very well.... 10's Jacks or Queens Could of folded in that spot there.....

I think though if you plan to pull this you must push the flop whatever comes ..... which you clearly planned to do .... Nh bro.... I get back to you about the rest next month lol :P

Is there any other specific hands you remember

136 is a pretty good re-steal I think. His range there is pretty wide...

And 91 is an albeit lucky - but good hand - really reeling him in with representing a bluff on the river...

I am pretty sure he folded a better hand there. That's why I showed.

I had a feeling he had KQ....but I cant really know can I

Well I'm up to hand 89 and I just had a quick question. I think you made some pretty nice laydowns up to that point, so I was just curious; why put another 1600 into a pot where you're almost guaranteed to be a huge dog? Nothing wrong with the raise from that position, but I think it might have been a bit too much of a reraise to call with the ace rag. Granted, you had a thousand in the pot already, but with the blinds already at 100-200, your chipstack is much more important. I'm definitely not knocking your play, just wondering if you see the situation differently. Thanks for posting this by the way. Maybe I'll post one of these sometime too.Â* Nice job and congratulations on your win.

This is the hand you are asking about:

Poker Stars
No Limit Holdem Tournament
Blinds: t100/t200
9 players
Converter

Stack sizes:
UTG: t7284
UTG+1: t3114
MP1: t3080
MP2: t4354
MP3: t8651
CO: t4615
Button: t7135
Attilio: t7059
BB: t2694

Pre-flop: (9 players) Attilio is SB with
7 folds, Attilio raises to t1100, BB raises all-in t2694, Attilio calls t1694 (pot was t3694).

Flop: (t5388, 1 player + 1 all-in - Main pot: t5388)


Turn: (t5388, 1 player + 1 all-in - Main pot: t5388)


River: (t5388, 1 player + 1 all-in - Main pot: t5388)


Results:
Final pot: t5388
Attilio showed 6c Ah
BB showed 9s Jd


I basically liked my odds (2.2:1 roughly) - and I had also been involved in a couple of blindbattles with this guy and I was not gonna fold to his allin - if not anything else for table image/meta reasons. This said - I am not entirely sure that the call was theoretically correct - in fact it probably wasn't unless he had a pair 22-55.

I have a bad habit of routinely putting people on KQ in which case I would have been a favorite

Oops. For some reason in the middle of the night last night I thought he had pp 99's. I also didn't see it was a blind battle. Man I have to stop writing posts in the middle of the night.
