loads of play left mate, just take it easy. There's plenty of shortstacks but someone as to knock them out.

Keep up the goodwork

****ing donkeys killing me nearly out now christ I ****ing hate tournaments is it ever possible to win with KK

MrPillowTalk

how does he call with A8 there limp calls pre then calls all in on flop muppets

Shortstack

What was with the 4's UTG? I would have pushed the KQ vs the SB - prob same result but you dont get caught bluffing postflop.

Not a big enough raise with the KK, encourages serial callers which maybe OK in an ordinary tournament but not a satellite.

Get some chips back and get in there.!

gl-dude only 7 left before seats...am rooting for you.

Some of the play is unbelievable - really, really bad.

The irony

The A8 guy is just unbelieveable I dont think Ive ever seen someone this deep in a tournament play a hand so badly what a waste of a seat he will be.

You have to take donkeys into account. You effectively gave him the odds to call behind with your small raise. In cash or a normal tournament this is not so bad but survival here is the key. You should have been committing them for their stacks with a pot size raise here, you are only 70% vs any Ace and once the SB is in the pot as well your chances of winning it are less.

Who knows he may have called a bigger raise but I doubt it.

Why did you raise UTG with 44 a few hands earlier?

Just tuned in at the end there Eoin. Tough luck man. Even when you took the hit with KK I still felt you were in with a good shot as you were picking your spots well. Having seen the standard of play in that I think I should start playing more sats.

Are you on drugs Mike?

He limps mp with below average stack for 800
I raise to 3200 this raise is fine imo
bb calls he calls

flop A 2 2

he bets 2400 its the most obviously played "I have a small ace and dont know where I am bet" Ive ever seen so I let him know hes beaten and stick him in. And he times out and calls unreal bad imo. What could I possibly have he is beating? only KK and most wouldnt stick him in with that.

MrPillowTalk

The 44 I didnt need to play allright but I was still well stacked after that.

Yeah I felt I was still playing allright but I prob shouldnt push the AQ the last hand I knew he had to have some sort of hand and was too big a stack to pass. Blah fifth sat Ive bubbled sick of it.

I never said he didnt play it badly. I said you need to account for this. A bigger preflop raise punishes bad play more.

Also you have seen him limp and call a raise with a less than average stack and bet out at an Ace high flop and correctly put him on a weak Ace. For you to have got your read right is not also correct to say that he is not good enough to lay it down?

Not having a go Eoin just giving my point of view and I have played and won my fair share of sats. They need a different viewing angle from a regular tourney.

You still haven't commented on the 44

See 3 posts above :rolleyes:

Im playing so ridiculously good at the moment its just annoying I cant ever win a pot. Ithought he wanted to fold when he bet so weak which judging by the fact he used his whole time bank to call judges he did, I know you rock at sats Im just pissed I played well and didnt get a ticket cest la vie.

To be honest I think the worst play I made in the tourney was puching AQ knowing Id get called.UGH.
