I won’t be there for the main, but my wife and I are planning a trip to Vegas and I’m going to either ruin the vacation winning the Gladiator, or more likely dusting off $300 and checking out Sparrow and Wolf on Chris’ recommendation,

Thank you everyone for your input. I see I did made a typo, it was 19 left not 29, so 7 to the money with 4 obvious shorties. Looking back now, I don’t believe I was destined to go bust this hand, as I could have just called turn and see what developed on river. I’m probably going bust on the river, but at least I’m making him put me all in and not doing it myself.
If I want to make hero folds based on reads, I should have at least read Elwood’s book by now.

I have rarely used the min 3 bet when the 2 bet is large in relation to the size of stacks. I used to use when nutted, now I usually use when I have seen an opponent fold to a small bet in relation to the pot on turn or river to rep nuts when draws come in. 3 spade board and your opponent raises your semi-bluff? A min 3 bet here vs a thinking small stakes opponent can be successful.

I haven’t seen any 4bet bluffs (plenty of 3 bet bluffs) in the Sunday $150s at Canterbury when I have been playing (trying to play once a month, so I know my volume is limited), so I think this is probably a fold (that I probably don’t make) in this particular tournament unless you have some history with OP.

Love this idea of picking a goal for each tournament. Mine was to try and find resteal spots between 10-20BB. I chickened out in one bluffjam spot (probably because I had been snapped off earlier in the day) when it was a great preflop spot to do so, and after getting to showdown saw it would have worked. Stick to process and let what side of the percentages fall where they may.

I would propose trying to change this goal to something you can guarantee you can accomplish. (You could get sucked out on several times heads up.) Faraz Jaka was talking about this for new years goals.
E.g. I will play 3 times per week, for every month I don’t have a win I will up it. (No win in January, up to 4x per week). No win in Jan or Feb 5x per week until you catch up.
This way you are the core of success or failure. The success is you playing, not the wins, but you win time by actually winning.

Decided to stop being terrified of contributing since I am not a great player, but since this is RECpoker… take all my money i am calling.

If there is no cost and you are seeing KJ shove 1dt level, we roll. We haven’t wasted anytime on this if it is first hand, if we bust gg.

The deal was definitely right the player to my right did get dealt the first card. I wanted to ask about a misdeal.
I shouldnt have called. Especially given my stack size. As much as I didnt want to raise a fuss, I thought the ruling was ridiculous to push me back my cards as it obviously caps my range.

Pretty much in agreement with Rob. Jamming there feels like he is trying to take the pot right now rather than bleed you with AA or KK and I am happy to take the ride vs a pocket pair and hoping I am against AQ or AK. I dont see the other Villian coming along after a call 90% of the time.
Hand two – Im with Rob but i like the lower sizing of 70. Feels like the ahort stack is coming with us and a less than pot bet and jam river (if the board runs clean… still lets us get all the money in by river).

I can understand a check on the flop, but as seen by the turn, it is a super coordinated board and I prefer a bet. We can potentially get calls from a good ten, KJ, KQ, QJ, clubs and more.
As played I like calling as the range of hands that call if we check-jam is vary narrow and the only one I see us being ahead of is an A clubs call off and K9.
