Quite similar timing and situation (early on day 2 with around 60k) to hand Alex Thomson busted out Manchester with Mark. My point to him was that against 2 opponents in that spot you will often be up against any other ace and any other PP, making you approx 32% to win. Not a great spot for your tournament TBH but fine if you believe villain has fold equity. Don"t beat yourself up mate, live and learn.

Tough spot Mark. Mp min raise to 15k from his 45k stack is super strong and I suspect rules out most of the hands that you have decent equity against.
I just think most players ship or flat in this spot with AJ+, JJ or worse, also his raise pot commits him, he is getting ~ 4:1 on a call.

I am pretty disappointed with how I played in Brighton. I seemed to swing between overanalysing, and missing clear betting spots, or just not thinking enough. Looking back, the AK hand is obviously more marginal than I gave it credit for at the time. I just didn't think it through properly. I hate making mistakes in tournaments, it shouldn't happen given the fact that I am playing a fairly ABC type strategy.
I also think that I don't make the same mistakes online - I am far more in the zone online than I am at a live table. The only resolution that I can see to this is to get more live experience. I am definitely hoping to play the next DTD Grand Prix and will be depositing on their to hopefully win a golden chip. Looking forward to the new APAT season details as really going to push to play everything possible.
I haven't played online poker for nearly two weeks - probably the longest break I have had for the last 6 months. I am super eager to get playing again and as my girlfriend is working all of Saturday and Sunday I will be playing all weekend. Planning to do two 10 hour sessions of 4 tabling MTT"s kicking off on Saturday morning. Been a long week back at work so need the relaxation time...

2nd in a $3 - 401 runner Omaha Hi/Lo for $175.
Very pleased with the result, have been grinding since 8am this morning. Wanted that win badly though.
Bankroll is up to $600 almost to the penny so can add more games into the schedule again. Really pleased with how the last 6 weeks have gone online.
