I made it to round three, against Shawn Rice, MrOvertight, and one guy I didn't recognize. I need some hand analysis: Final hand. Shawn was at 23000, I was at 31000, MrOvertight was at 37000, and random guy was at 38000. All four of us have our secrets, and all four of us use them. I believe I was 2nd to act, Overtight was 1st, Shawn 3rd... I bet 8500. No one busted, and the dealer popped a 26. Shawn bet 11500 and doubled his lucky 10. Overtight wen't 10000 (I think) and the random guy went high as well. I ended up getting eliminated with 39500. Did I bet wrongly, pre-deal?
I actually probably would have bet 7,500. It forces Shawn to win, and puts you ahead of BR1 & BR2 if you win and they don't. Of course, with that bet I wouldn't have advanced either. Without knowing what any of the hands were it's hard to say anything else about the hand. Like was doubling a thought for you at the time?
If you lost it was wrong... Really all we can try and do is make the best bet for our situation, if we win it was right if we lose it was wrong...lol I can think of two possible bet's I would have made: 1) $7,500 which if you win and any of the other players lose or push you win. By betting $8,500 BR4 could have pushed while you lost and been eliminated. Which really isn't any different than what did happen. 2) $15,000 bet, you take a chance with a higher bet and if you catch a bad hand surrender it back it you need to and still stay above BR4 should they push. I perfer the first option, but it is up to each individual. These are just two options in my opinion.
Must have both: S&L! Happened to be watching you guys, PG, and I thought you played it right. I also note that Shawn Rice caught an amazing stroke of luck on an all-in a few hands earlier, and a BJ or two just when he needed some extra juice in the last ten crucial hands as well--i.e. he was one lucky SOB to still be there at all (he did place correct bets and play strategy as well of course--not taking away from him there). POINT: Playing with skill is not enough in this crazy torture-chamber-of-foolishness we all engage in night after night (how's that for dramatic). You MUST have the luck on your side that night AS WELL! C-Ya soon I'm sure somewhere...
how many advance? Sounds like you were trying to avoid the drop rather than win the table. I'd have done Tex's 2nd bet plus $500, £15500 for the reasons he outlined but in addition it covers and all-in win by BR4 Cheers Reachy
There were four players left, it was an elimination hand, and three advanced. I -was- trying to avoid the drop
