It was incredibly fun watching you take this down, and I hope my chatter was occasionally helpful. It was a good exercise for me - focusing on trying to get into the head of bond18 and trying to figure out what he would think of your play and how he would be trying to beat you. I always try to do that, but it was easier to focus on it when it wasn't my money on the line and I didn't have to make decisions about each hand.
You played very well. Unless I look at the hand history and decide otherwise...
Congrats,

Very Well Done! Great Comeback as well. Did a great job of working the 10-20BB stack throughout a large portion of the tourney. I have a few questions/comments. I offer these more as comments rather than critiques. I'm just trying to get an idea of how you played some hands. Any way, here goes.
Hand 154: Facing a minraise from the button with 15BB behind, I may have considered shoving the KJo.
Hand 161: facing an UTG+ rs, You shoved the KQo. I may have been inclined to let this one go, as i don't expect to get a fold very often there, and expect to be in bad shape when called.
Hand 170: Facing a 2.5 BB rs from the button,you shoved the KQo. I notice the shove was around 10X the raise. It happened to be about half the raisers stack as well. It seemed through out that you usually shoved at around the 10x the raise or less rather than three-bet. Is that a threshold that you use as a guide? I may have found myself three-betting in some of those situations and then facing an uncomfortable decision.
Hands 188, 362, 377: Similar question as the hands above regarding the raise size.. shove vs raise.
Hand 502: Interesting spot with the JJ. A call getting 3:1 actual and over 15:1 implied doesn't seem horrible and a four bet at 7-8 times the three bet doesn't seem horrible either. Just curious as to your thoughts here.
Hand 527: This is a spot that i may often c-bet. It should hit my hand as a raiser. What are opinions regarding the villains calling ranges here? Really be curious to get thoughts here. Maybe i am off base in my logic.
This is my first attempt to review someones Else's hand history and put my thoughts down on paper (albeit electronic paper) Much more difficult than i imagined. Thanks for posting HH and again, congrats on the win.

Hand 154: I remember debating shoving or folding in this spot. I was 50/50 and just opted to fold(maybe due to jamming J10 into a button min raise earlier in the day.) Hand 161: Either the utg+ had a high vpip and I figured to be ahead of his range or I had some info from recent hands that made me feel that was a good chance he would fold or I was flipping if I got called. I was wrong  Hand 170, 188, 362, 377: definite leak/weak area of my game. I am so uncomfortable in that 23-30BB range. I've been trying to work in more raising and cbetting if I get called to get more experience in these situations. It just seems to put me on tilt when I 3 bet, get called, make c bet and then get shoved on and have to fold if I whif. On the other hand I feel I am missing a ton of value by jamming a lot of these hands and not giving myself the chance to get called by weaker hands. Working on this area of my game for sure Hand 502: This hand when I was raised I started my mind going through infinite scenarios. do I 4 bet? If he shoves am I calling? Do I flat? what if the board comes all low? do I lead out and fold to a raise, reshove a raise? Do I check raise the flop and get it in, check raise fold? All while I'm trying to keep in mind of what stacks we will have for each scenario. I didn't trust myself to be able to fold after the flop if the board came low so I was debating 4 betting or folding. In the end I just felt really uncomfortable/scared in this hand and just wanted this hand over with and move on to the next one. I really didn't want to be crushed or have to run it at this point. Potroast was somewhat short and moving up the money ladder factored in a little bit also. Hand 527: I have no idea why I did not c-bet here and I think checking behind was a big mistake. Thanks very much the review |

Man. I actually laughed a bit when reading your description of hand 502. I find myself in those situations sometimes. Finding myself with multilple, reasonable plays pre and not really knowing what to do with any of them after, i will find the fold button. Lots easier when the time clock isnt ticking away. Great tourney though.
