    Big Slick Team Event blinds 6k/12k with running ante of 1k.
    Ive been extrememly card dead all day. Their are 13 left and i need too make top 5 for our team too get in top 3. Im on small blind with 6k in and 60k behind folded around too me on small blind. Theirs 20k in middle which is a 1/3rd of my stack . He has around 150k so he needs a hand too call even if he knows im pushin any 2. Is this is a push blind like i did or fold and wait for sometin pushable.

    see i told you last night you did nothing wrong, it was 100% a push with any two. considering how card dead you were all day you did fantastic to go as deep as you did. very well played

    Bobby, time you got a little more confidence in your ability as a poker player. You did fantastically well to get so far in a quality field. I'd have been delighted to get half as far.

    You can play with the best of them, all you need is a break or two.

    Well done lad

    Just make sure that you look at your cards at some point. An observant big - blind will be watching you quite closely as he will be expecting the push given your stack size. If you don't look it will strongly increase the chances of him calling you with a marginal hand.

    This makes perfect sense

    obvious push especially with your reputation the only doubt that came to mind was the fact that you got lucky with a couple of pushes previously this probably would give the big blind more reason to call with a marginal hand would be very tough decision for him though
    the actual comments in your post prove how much your game has improved there was a time you would only play with cards hence the name (nuts)
    you should be confident in the fact that you have the respect of all the players in irelands strongest card club !!!!!!!!! (blazin aces) and kakak is right lack of confidence is your biggest weakness your game is top notch well done for a great performance I think richie will be seeking advice from you

    You need to get lucky too get through a big field. But i was so card dead everytime i was all in i was behind. I dont usually win when im ahead so i might start trying this new tactic seems too work for Richie
