Hands from my 2nd place finish...thoughts?

Hey guys!

So I finally figured out a way to go over my hands. It's called Universal Re-player and I don't think it is as good as the old CardRunners re player was but it works. So I went through the hand history of my 2nd place finish in the nightly 30k guarantee 6max tournament on Full Tilt. As I was going over it tonight I was thinking it might make for a good leak finder video. I don't know how people get chosen to do this sort of thing but I would be interested for sure. Here are a few of the interesting hands.

I was new to the table, didn't know the dude and we were deep. Giving up after the flop is another line LOL. He obviously had a monster.

Another weird hand where I just do not want to believe. I misclicked preflop and was trying to make it a normal 2.5ish raise but min-raised instead. Flop I should have folded but that flop bet got me good. I'm obviously gonna cbet that board so often so I don't understand his donk....I don't know.

This hand was just straight ownage. I just didn't think he had anything and was almost positive he would fold to heavy action with the timing and bet on the river. Clearly my favorite hand of the tournament...I love it when moves work. Yes sir! :)

In this one I figured I had to try for it on the river since it was a very good card for my flop checking back range and I had no showdown value. Whatev...

I think this was the right play but at the time I remember questioning it.

This move was super questionable. But I figured 4 handed, these guys probably had a lot of history of RRing each other, etc. But I'm not sure what was best here. I probably could have easily just folded and waited to get involved when I knew these players more. Not getting involved in high variance situations before you know the players is one of the things I need to work on.

The reason for posting this hand is because it gives some history for the next hand coming up.

This hand was HU and I think given the action that I could have folded the river, I'm not sure. I don't think this was a huge, huge mistake considering folding TP heads up is very tough but in this situation I think I could have folded it with bet-sizing, flow of the match type tells and the previous hand. This might have lost me the tournament. :(

This isn't really that interesting because it is totally standard for both players but it was the 2nd to last hand.

And this was the last hand.

Overall I felt like I played pretty good. There were some mistakes and interesting hands as well. I would love to hear feedback from you guys. Thanks so much for reading this super pokery blog post.

I hope your weekend was fun! Tomorrow I'm hitting up the tables again. In my next post I will have more wins to talk about (hopefully), life updates and fun pictures too. Holler. :)

Love! Love!
