Bust in 1089th for $1011. Sick enough equity spot. Playing off circa 22bbs on the SB we have AJo. Cutoff (German reg) rips 9.6bbs and we rejam off the SB, BB insta snaps (playing off 40bbs).
Its our AJo Vs 1010's (BB) Vs A4o (CO) for like 55bbs in the middle which would be like 1.6 x avg if we get there.
Bummer.

Unlucky yourself. Those spots equity wise don't bear thinking about. I forget what podcast I was listening to but it was a very well regarded pro talking about the equivalent stakes of cash games you are essentially playing when you get to the later stages of these tournaments being like playing 25/50 and getting higher all the time in terms of equity pots but most people don't see that when playing.
Have to say I have had lots of fun getting back into after all this time but man I feel like I am damaging my soul at points over the last couple of week, lol

Played the three Silk Road sats today. Finished top 20 in 500 runner field and 700 runners field but bricked the places for the tickets. I can't blame run bad as I made two awful blunders towards the end in both but still in the final one which had 900 runners and currently 45/70 left with 7 $1500 tickets up top. Need some run good from here.
And I am gone 99 no good against AQLast edited by Opr; 27-07-20, 21:10.

There is a stage in the tournaments though where I really don't know what I am doing. After I have built the stack I go into this kind of preservation mode waiting on hands thinking I have already done the hard work not wanting to take too many high variance spots. I have only learned by playing that you can't really do that as when the stacks shallow out you are going to be forced to start taking those spots anyway if you don't get hit in the face with the deck.
I prefer the stepped approach to try to get into the bigger buyins rather than these massive runner fields but I am playing them as they are great for the experience of that type of tournament

Winner's tilt is real. I just fired the two most ridiculous bullets in the $20 Silk Road ME Sat. Including calling with K high on a river after I bluffed flop, turn and then he shoved into me on the river. He of course has a full house.
Time for a few drinks. Still have a few more $100 tickets for Million Maker Sats. I'll fire them tomorrow to try and bag another ticket and then decide if I should jump into the event itself. Little reticent as this whole winning tickets jazz doesn't translate to cash if you are constantly firing high and bricking.

Are the biggest Sats $100, so 1/15 or so?Last edited by Dice75; 01-08-20, 19:04.

btw I have seen both the Upswing and RYE tournament courses. The Upswing guy is probably the most unengaging instructor that I have ever seen. I couldn't watch more than 10 minutes. The RYE course is far better structured, a good instructor and the content is alright. I only skimmed it though as it all still feels quite basic. I mean for someone who is only getting into poker it will give you a good decent structure of a gameplan but for the money, they are charging it is scandalous. The only thing I found useful was the ranges being nailed in certain shallow spots. Beyond that, though there was very little if no high-level stuff in it that I felt was teaching me anything new or surprising.

There is a GTO training thing I have been using. It has been great for plugging some obvious leaks. The spots it does at the moment are quite limited. For me, the big one is far too much c-betting OOP when shallow. The bot plays extremely passively OOP when less than 30bb deep even as the PFR and protects it range really well by c/r strong draws along with other things. It seems a clever strategy. Especially in the games I play where people are always trying to outplay in position.
It is hard though when you don't understand what it is doing much of time without the background study. I found this really interesting and can't figure out why this is the correct line. Raise on the button to 2.2x 100bb's effective. The BB 3bets to 8.8 and you defend with Q,10. I forget the suits but no flush draws on the flop it was monotone. The bot leads for 1/3 pot and you are supposed to raise and call shoves on a Q,5,6 monotone board?Last edited by Opr; 03-08-20, 13:41.

Obviously if you also play cash games getting PIO makes a lot of sense, but wouldn't be my first choice for MTT.

The client doesn't help things. I would say I needed to restart it about 10 times last night while playing. Every table I was at players timing out all over the place.Last edited by Opr; 06-08-20, 20:07.

I'd say I have fired double the cost of the ticket for the $150 1 Mil guarantee today in the $10 dollars sats. Bricking left and right and never get anything going.
The $1 sat with 1800 runners and 16 tickets ends up being the one
Edit - I completely miscalculated in this and sat out way too early. There are only 11 tickets with the other 5 places small cash prizes. Should be alright though currently 5/16.Last edited by Opr; 09-08-20, 16:58.

Question, two tables just now left in an MTT and I am in the BB. Player busts during this hand to mean we are down to 9 and forming the final table. I get placed in the BB again on the final table. Is that a thing? The one BB was massively important as I was down to 4bb with 3 5K WSOP packages up top and 2.5 and 1k for 4 and fifth. Stacks are all in the 10bb range so one double and I am back in it but by the time the blinds pass through me again, it was obviously huge hit.Last edited by Opr; 29-08-20, 23:45.
