Butchering it at APAT Team Champs

Just showdown and take your medicine I suppose. I don"t think you rep a ten but I suppose it depends whether you think the BB will think about it.
Some of the other stuff sounds like FPS/spew when it really isn"t needed in a tourney like this but I suppose something is needed to liven up the early stages!

I posted the hand as a penance really - I know I should just give up on the river, but I was pretty sure that I was losing at that stage and had only one chance at rescuing the situation which was by betting the river and keeping my head down. It wasn"t an insta-call, but it wasn"t a big dwell either.
As for the FPS. I was enjoying myself, which is what APAT events should be about surely? I"ll address the issue more deeply in my TR when I get it finished. Suffice to say I wouldn"t try this in a DTD/UKIPT/GUKPT event, or if I did I"d do it differently... ;-)

Yes but you"re posting a hand analysis. If you want to enjoy yourself that"s fine but then don"t ask for advice re hands when you say you"re not playing optimally for whatever reason.
Think of you"re looking for fun try and check raise every street at the next one. I"m gonna try
WYoung83:
Yes have fun by all means, but you still want to win money surely? You don`t have to win every hand, sometimes you just gotta let it go.
deanp27:
Lol I"m one of the worst FPS culprits, was just saying from a PHA point of view.

Sometimes the analysis of even a hand like this throws up a line or two that makes a difference to future play. I could have posted it as a "flipped" hand from FatPants seat and asked whether or not it"s a call on the river vs an unnamed LAG but it felt more appropriate to post it as it was.
I don"t know that playing "optimally" all the way through these tournaments is possible. Assigning an accurate range is so difficult at the best of times, but doing so on a team event weekend seems to me to be even harder.
meh - move on.
Check raise every street as a bluff?
