$33 Stars Win(Chop) Jan 4th

[fiber]

This was the 6am stars tourney, 643 players. Chopped heads up this morning $3000 each and played for the remaining $221 which I won .

Still lots of shotty play and would love advice on where my leaks are and how to plug them.

I took out the almost 200 hands we were sitting out waiting for stars support.

4 whay not play this as a suited connector. you have the button

14 bet turn to rep flush. lowrider has shown no interest and maybe you can win heads up against malsega

24 make standard cbet of 150-175. Given his stack nonne10 is either going to shove or fold no matter what your bet is.

25 to early position to raise with TJ off

32 awful early position to call with 34. Maybe from button but there still a lot of players behind you. But maybe I am a puss.

39 Pretty marginal call to 3 bet. I know it i a small raise but he has no chips and you hand sucks. given the stacks he is probably going to shove most flops

235 might be a call with a big suited ace. almost 9k in pot getting 4 to 1 against 2 big stacks. you have the chips

250 why no open raise

299 maybe consider open raise. an over shove wouldn't be that bad

358 what was your thought process on folding to raise. did you have a read on ameco4

387 might have checked turn or made smaller bet to entice bravestar to make a play

463 might have 3 bet here

515 not sure how you made this call. was it stack sizes, the paired board, or his overshove. I probably would have wimped and laid it down. Worked out great for you.

519 i might have called 3 bet. you both have stacks, you have position, and if you hit you would have chip lead heads up

523 well played

549 little spewy. you have a good stack and didnt need to waste the chips with no outs

All in all I thought you played very well. Many hands played themselves. You got a little frisky once in a while but got away with most of them

Nice being the big stack early at the final table. They let you get away with a lot.
