Do you call?
UKChamp:
Typical final table hands really, I think in the circumstances as they were there are pretty good cases for doing what you did. However, with limited stack sizes im not often calling in the blinds with easily dominated connectors or connectors at all for that matter - there often is not the implied odds, if you even half hit its difficult to get away with accumulated action in front, and your playing out of position. The main point, for me at least, is its a false economy calling solely becuase of price preflop when your OOP, because it will cost you money to find out where u are in the hand.
I do however resteal with the lower suited cons in position and preflop (giving people a better price to get away and still retain some stack size).

you don"t say what the blinds were here or how the action went before the flop ..Did you open or call , if the latter why no 3bet?
If you are currently getting consistent at getting into these positions [deep/cash placed] then keep doing whatever you are doing as the flips will go eventually your way..
Without seeing plenty of examples of your play/strategy its hard to say if you have any obvious leak , keep reviewing your mtts in a replayer and take plenty of notes of opponents that also regularly do well at this level... The answer most of the time is volume played/variance but keep working on your thought process and reading of others all the time...
Just ask yourself if there is anything else you can add to your game that will improve your all around repertoire...
PS
i had to font this as the writing went really small lol lol ???

Thanks for this.
What replayer would you advise - do they re-run Betfair tournaments okay?
There are certainly leakages ... one is limping when I will have to play OOP ... as I did with my TT above ... though my view there was hit the Ten and get very happy ... the overpair is a pretty good result otherwise ... well I thought it was ...
I will write that hand up later ... another very interesting hand ...
I do have a decent record of getting to the money - and my anecdotal feel is that I am rather down on cards/breaks late on.
Weak hands TT, JJ - very tricky!
I think the most interesting thing in watching "winning" players in MTTs is the gear shift maybe a table or two before the bubble, that said I have seen some very interesting shortish stack play lately - people waiting and waiting due to the rest of the table being pretty loose.
Pretty endless task ... refining one"s game.

... easily dominated connectors ... good point.
In the first hand the play is delightful without Doobs having the prime Hearts ... as I will slaughter the Aces.
Thanks for the feedback.
