I chip up to first place only to bust early ITM shortly after. I feel like I did play my better game and kept my focus. But I've done this before, so I know I'm leaking. It's somewhere in my "Keep the pressure on" mode while the big stack. Help?..

so im all for keeping the pressure on when we have chips and there were a bunch of hand i skimmed through that looked real good

it seem to me that you lost a lot of chip in the blind

151) 52 off (fold) imo there is no need to call regardless of pot odds. if you want to play you

stack then squeeze with it but i am not advocating that either nice catch by the way lol

159) 62 off (fold) same thing

168) A2hh the sb is play with 10bb and is most likely getting his chips in there somehow so you are playing his stack with a2 you are must likely dominated especially when he doesnt shove pre its like he is goating you to come over the top

179) just shove it or fold it with 10bb there is no real need to play after the flop just unlikey there though maybe a shove pre looses that guy probably not looking at stack sizes though

Just reviewed this myself. I definitely got too spewy as the big stack. I opened myself up for some light 3-betting and didn't adjust to it fast enough. I also think I made some calls out of the blinds that were leaky. There was also some hands where a check fold, i felt, would have been a better line. Further, on a couple hands I min c-bet with no equity??. A big hand BvB where I could have flat called or 3-bet folded. All in all very enlightening.

Always interested in other view points!

Thanks Bishamonten! Yeah, you like the 52o catch ?
I agree. Did you think I was too active in raising though? I feel like this forces people to play back at me with lesser holdings, which in turn sets me up to stack them when I do have the hands. However, I'm sure there is an artistic balance to it, and I feel like I could have had the same result while saving some chips.
