Some Tournament hands

opr

These are both taken from a 3 day event a while back. 15k starting stack.

Details of the stacks sizes and blinds maybe a bit off but as close as i remember.

Hand 1

This is day 1 and have been playing pretty TAG nothing really out of line.

I have made a few button raises and they have been snapped off by the BB , also NFR is to my left and has raised a few buttons with the same guy in the SB snapping most of them off by coming over the top. I am getting really sick of this. He has yet to have to show one of these 3bets.

An orbit or two ago i have just doubled up the Villian when he flat called my UTG raise with AA and we got it all in a low flop when i had KK. We are both playing about 20k.

Blinds 200/400
Folded to me on Button and i make it 1200 to go with 7h,8h (3x) has been my standard raise . He reraises to 4000 (3 times the raises has been his standard) and i shove ??? What do we think ?

Hand 2

Day 2 - I was moved table right at the end of day 1 and this is early into day 2 so not much to go on. But from what i have seen Villian is a moron calling raises with any 2 pictures.

I have about 44k at the start of this hand and he has about 25k.

Blinds 400/800

I look down 2 back kings and make it 2700 to go. Only the Villian in the SB calls pot now 6200

Flop QJ3 rainbow , he checks and i bet 5500 , he calls.

Turn is a J ... he checks ..... I check.

River is a 6 ... he checks ...... Me ??? What do we like ??


Hand 3

This is taken from the side event. 10,000 starting chips.

I am on about 16,000 blinds are 200/400. I have been very active around the cut off and button with little resistance. Villian seems pretty solid and from what i have seen he has only got involved with your standard hands thus far. Pairs , Big A's etc. Most of his stack has come from a big pot preflop when he got it all in with AA against AK.

Folded to me on the button and i make it 1200 to go with 4s,5s

Only the BB cals playing about 26,000 .... Pot 2600

Flop 6h,3h,5c He checks and i bet about 2000 , He raises to 6000 and me ??

Hand 4

Just one more taken from the GJP 300 event a while back.

Final table and we have just bubbled down to 8 or 9 i think.

I am SB in this hand and have about 36k blinds 1/2k i think.2 limpers in the pot and i complete with 7c,8c. No real reads on the Villian in this hand as the final table is the first time i have been playing with him and i don't recall him playing any hands thus far.

Flop 7,8,J rainbow i lead for 6k BB fold first limper calls and the 2nd limper shoves ...... easy fold ??

Thanks in advance.

Edited the original post to give a few more details. Sorry my memory is a bit hazy as all of these did happen a while ago.

It was a limped pot so i doubt we do.

im the villian from hand 1 i had been playing tight all day set out not to show many hands in the tournament as its something i ussually would do i believe this cost me the tournament as if i had shown down my re raises i believe he could not have pushed,i had layed down jj to a re raise which was probably the only hand i showed,the weakest re raise was with aq but this was to button raises i was basically hitting big hands in the blinds.when i had aa i decided i would just flat call as my stack was approx 6000 and i believe the raise was approx 1600 so i was in a position where you would probably continuation bet and i could push with you more or less commited.I knew after this you were basically out to get me so when u raised to 1200 i decided 400 was a decent sized raise happy to take down bet and antes with it then when you pushed i had a decision to make i really felt i was ahead i certinaly would not put you on aa kk as i did not feel you would push with it,the range i had you on was 77 to jj maybe ak i really felt it was a move of some sort,which proved right when you turned over 78 in my opinion i dont think you needed to risk your tournament life on a move like this you were playing nice tight aggressive poker all night i hesitated calling and if it had been nfr making the same move i would most probably have folded its just all the factors leading up to the hand that led me to call.

#1 seems fine given reads

At the end of the day this had the effect of getting me to stick my stack in the middle as a big dog and you got unlucky so i don't think you should look at it like that.

Wes , i would be interested in what you think on hand 2 as you were at the table if you can remember it that is ?

Hand 1 : He called i rivered a straight to bust his QQ

Hand 2 : I bet out and he shoved i was pot commited and had to call and he had JJ

Hand 3 : I shoved and he called with 66 and i got no help

Hand 4 : Meh i called and pretty quick too and he had J8 off.

I thought afterwards that it was an awful call and was surpised to see Valor say he would call.
But when i think about it i am not sure the calls is that terrible i never expect to see J7 and i mean if he is bad enough to limp with J8 he might be bad enough to push JQ or JK and i don't think anyone plays the nuts like this.
