Hey guys, I've been pretty busy and haven't really felt like blogging recently.
Poker has been going awesome. I got 5th in the 215 rebuy the other day for $10,200. I thought the hand that I busted on was pretty interesting.
Blinds 6K/12K with antes pot is 20K.
I have 100K in chips, apestyles has 90K, br savage has 280K, tourney c/l donk has 760K, and tightwad in the bb has 90K.
I have been pretty tight at the table, made a couple plays and a couple steals but for the most part been holding onto my stack, letting smaller stacks bust. Now the payscale is such that 5th gets around 10,200 4th 13,400, 3rd 19,800, 2nd 28,000, 1st 47,000. So the pay jumps pretty significantly in top 3 vs 4th/5th. So I'm in third place, but I'm essentially tied for last with the blinds coming around.
One thing that had been preventing me from playing more aggressively was this tightwad kept folding sb vs. bb to me, or he'd call from the sb and fold to a push. So he'd basically been giving me free chips to that point, but now the blinds are so big that I think even he would understand that pushing/ folding was the way to go.
I pick up 53 utg and shove. Here's my logic: Apestyles can't call me without a real hand, br savage is really tight and I don't think he'd view my push as desperation because I still have enough to steal with after blinds run through me. The donkey in the sb was a bit worrisome, but he wasn't totally braindead and I'm pretty sure he would realize how tight I'd be playing, and the big blind... well he was tightwad  . So I was shoving 100K chips to win 20K.
Because I was utg they probably assume my pushing range is like any pair/ a8+/ KJ+, thats what I'd assume anyways
Their calling ranges would be pretty tight, I'd assume AQ/77+ so I think I'm definitely taking this pot down enough pre-flop to merit the push. Besides I can always suck out...
Ape insta calls AK and breaks my head. Oh wells.
I've been playing a lot of 5/10 recently with good success. I really like the 4/8 deepstacked game on ftp... it seems like a lot of the people that play it don't play well deep stacked. There are some good regulars but as long as you can outplay em you're golden. We have some exciting guest videos on the way Seal and Straate are both making videos for us- I'm excited .

thanks man... I thought I played the tourney really well. I made a big fold with AQ vs an utg 3x raise by br savage while we were 7 handed, and I think it paid off for me. |

yes... and their movies. George Carlin started out a set by saying he was busier than a dyke in a hardware store. The man is a genius |
