Ok, 5 tournies so far in Full Tilt. 1 2nd place finish, 2 bomb-outs, 2 bubbles.
Last night was a bomb-out and a bubble. In the latter, the player to my left was hyper-aggressive and giving me a ton of problems. She wouldn’t let me complete from the small blind, and I didn’t have the cards or chips to raise her most of the time, so I was just folding. She was reraising my position raises, also, and my hands were ok but not enough to go to war (A3, KTo, etc).Ok, 4 players left, top 3 get paid. Blinds are 150/300, and 3 players all have around 2500 chips (M less than 5), so none of us can be waiting around for the bubble to break. Typical bubble play – one raise usually takes it down. I’m waiting for something to play when I get KK. I try and min-raise for action but nobody bites, all I get are the blinds. Very next hand, I get A8o, and I think this is where I make a mistake – I minraise again, someone comes over the top on me. I’m pretty sure I’ve got odds to call, and if I don’t I’ll be short-stacked, so I take my shot w/ my Ace. He shows 77 and his pair holds up.
I think maybe I should have just pushed it all in w/ A8 instead of begging for a raise, I might have gotten the 77 to fold (no guarantee, though).
Once I did the minraise, though, I played it ok, I had a 43% to win the hand (according to Pokerstove), and my odds were such that I needed to win only 30% of the time.
