Satellite to the $50K on FT.
only 30 people started , first get a ticket. got to FT as SS and managed to bully my way around to last 3. Where I continued to bully them , until they caught cards and nocked me down and start all over again.
Got real lucky the last hand 3 handed. Just won a nice big pot (no show down) and picked AQ. Decided to be tricky and pushed (blinds 200 I've got over 14K)
villain whom I just cover call with AK. I river a Q.
So got to HU with 2-1 chip lead. Easily built it up to over 3-1. Knew exactly how the guy play and how to take his money away.
Then this last 3 hands.
Hand 1 : I know I'm behind, but have 8 outs to the end this. Bad call?

Hand 2 : any chance of getting away from this in HU. Thing is, as soon as I pushed I called his hand in my head. The way he played, that turn mush have helped him.

Pretty shocking going from over 3-1 to bust in 3 hands.
Is this just a cooler or did I miss play any of the hands? I think I might have tried to keep hand 2 cheaper as I know I can out play this guy. But seriously, in HU he can have anything, can't he?

Hand 1: I don't understand the point of raising OOP with this hand. And no, I don't agree with the call, because you're usually crushed here, and you're not getting the right price to call anyway (3 to 1 when you are a 4 to 1 dog AT BEST). I would have dumped it on the flop to be honest; all you have is a crap draw that is not going to get any action from a worse hand if you make your hand. Give it up because there is inadequate compensation for 2nd place.
Hand 2: No, I don't ever get away here HU. You played this one just fine.
Hand 3: I don't think this is standard at all. You have enough chips not to do this. You can wait for a better hand. Check and take a flop. Pushing here is spewage IMO.

Yeah, I almost never raised OOP. Guess it was just kind of putting the pressure on now that the blinds are high. But am not sure why I raised so big.
Now I think I am almost priced to call on the flop . I'm getting 1-5 on my money right? (1500-7500) and have 1-4.7 to making my 8 outs. I don't think in this level villain will fold to a value bet had I hit any of outs (and will probably go broke if a 7 comes)
I used to fold the turn here. I recognize the mistake here.
Hand 3 - I see your point, again. Especially against someone I can out play. I hate that move. TBH, I figured it will look like I'm tilting and he might call with K or Q high.
However thinking about it now, it is still a mistake. Since I think I can out play him, there is no need for me to give him a 40% chance in busting me... and there is always the chance he picked a real hand.
Damn, and I was playing so good until that point.
Leave and learn....
