DTD Grand Prix Day 1a Decision
Chipaccrual:
I played the Day 1a of the DTD Grand Prix last night, for those that don"t know the structure, they run a number of Day 1"a both online and live with a £60 buyin. The top 10% carry their chips forward into the live Day 2 this coming Sunday to play out for the £100k guaranteed prizepool.
Last night, 182 runnners started with 20k of chips. Average stack at the end of the night would be just over 200k.
We"re down to 27 players (18 get through, 19th and 20th get £60 tokens).
I"m sat on 170k and have been playing steady poker. Not got involved in too many hands, but have picked up chips at the right times.
It"s my BB and two players (UTG 60k & MP 150k) get into a hand with TT v A8 and the shorter stack (UTG) doubles through by spiking an ace on turn. MP is now down to 90k.
Next hand, my SB, the MP open shoves into the BB he just doubled up. It fold round to me with Ad Jd.
Blinds are 2.5k/5k (I think, or very close to that)
What am I doing with the Ad Jd ?
I have little other info as had moved to the table maybe two orbits before.
TightEnd:
you are folding in a satellite, and calling/going for the win in a MTT
At best you are a 60-40 shot against most of his range (Any pair, Any Broadway, good Aces, any paint-x) and dominating a minority of his range (Ace-x)
It looks tilty though, so I can understand calling,
but 170k at 2-5k should get you to 18th, 80k at 2-5k when you call-lose is pretty marginal and puts you under pressure
Satellite chip preservation. You only need to finish 18th to go through with near enough average stack.
DodgyEnd (Tom APAT.be):
It"s possible that he is tilting, but what would you risk your stack for. He could have KT or KQ and that makes you favorite to win of course, but are you really going to risk half your stack at this time?
He could have AQ which leaves you in trouble, or a pair of 8"s or something which would make it a coinflip.
So I would definitely fold in this situation.
TightEnd:
oh, you just posted the result elsewhere
Oh Indeed.
DodgyEnd (Tom APAT.be):
and what did you do?
