Biggish early hand at Euro's - thoughts please?
WYoung83:
In the Aussie millions, within 6-7 hands delt, he had lost half of his stack. In one episdoe of PAD, he lost his whole stack on the 5th hand "i had a pair" were his exact words as he exited. He is someone who is either gonna get chipped up early and make a good run, or go bust trying and then simply move onto the next tourney. This is why he gets so many walks in tourneys, because people are to scared to play against him, because they cant put him on a hand.
But to answer your question MintTrav, i think it all depends on how deep you are in the situation at hand, weather you have a competetive stack to be able to out play or bluff opponents (like 3 barrel bluffs etc). Ive noticed recently that, (and this is in my opion) having 100BBs is no way deep enough to play creative poker. So i guess in steves case he should of been willing to gamble.

One mistake people make in tournaments is this idea of a "tournament life"
Generally speaking, but not always, decisions are either +EV or not. And you should be taking the EV route whether you"re risking your "tournament life" or not.

OK, on a similar theme - here"s a hand I managed to mangle in Luton.
Fairly early on, definitely one of the first two levels. Got a player two to my right who is very aggressive (played in the German team), and he seems to be enjoying himself.
I"m the BB with ad kd. Foggy is UTG+1 and puts in a standard raise. the German calls, and I decide to flat call as well (I usually raise here with AK, but like to vary things).
Flop is qd jd 7c. That"s not an altogether bad flop for me :D.
I lead out for about pot (think it was a bet of 400). Foggy raises to 1,200. The German then re-raises to 2,800.
What do you do?
