Another Tulsa Situation

My vote is $200 and be prepared to surrender any weak hand. A $200 win puts you in good position and possibly the chip lead. I would not want to bet more at this time because a large loss could be devastating given the tight field. Also, a large win could trigger a "bombs away" attitude from the other players.

Is this teaser an attempt to curtail fgk42's pictures? :laugh: :joker:

 

If

Youre worried about "someone" on last hand making a good play a $430 bet with a strong conviction to surrender as a surrender here would leave you with good ammo of $1000. Otherwise 210 to put you ahead of Kacie.

 

Ken on the button on the last hand

Assuming we are going for first place here and bearing in mind where the button will be on the last hand I would consider $300 initially to beat Kacie's double. I would also consider $455 to get the high over BR3's max bet and to get a greater than 1/2 max bet lead over BR1.

didn't Kacie lose?

I'd bet $340. Gives you probable 2nd high as I expect BR4 to split his BR and Someone will simply bet to take 1st high 2nd low.

is trouble now as you can about guarantee he will go 450. 340 or max for you.

 

amount of bet

130 dollars - 95 out of first place and 50 over 3rd. place - now's the time to be cautious and keep it close. a 130 win will gain some on the leader in a win win situation, and a lost/win situation will give you a 100 dollar lead, and a lost/lost will only put you down by 125. that's as complicated as i would get. to consider the 3rd place man now there are 8 different situation and thats just too complicated - yellow flag time - keep it close and cautious!

 

h 23

hand 23 - go 250 and hand 24 go 500 is you lose hand 23. if you win hand 23 then u have to refigure hand 24.

 

h 22

someone made a keep it close and cautious bet as he is going for the show and not the win. when you stepped up with a 200 bet he simply wanted to cut your lead (50) in half with a 30 dollars bet and that's what he did! and more he got an 85 dollars lead over you and now you under the gun! good play for "someone" - give him a star!

 

h 23

what happened?

 

Hand 23:
My vote is to bet the max of $500. You are in a bad playing position for this and the last hand. That and the fact that the field is too tight to get any type of precision bet working for you. A win with a max bet sets you up good for the last hand where you bet first. Again, be prepared to surrender any weak hand to have any chance of finishing 1st or 2nd.

 

hands

was anyone counting cards and many decks?

 

Back to hand 22 for a minute:

Sorry, but that logic makes no sense to me. With Ken making a $200 before "somebody", betting $30 to cut a lead in half would only work if Ken pushed.

Looks to me like "someone" had no clue as to how much to bet. He just got lucky.

 

catch 22

after 22 hands - the leader is only 95 dollars in front and third place is only 50 dollars behind. these guys are almost just as good as each other. since no one can read the future, unless someone is counting the cards, i would assume the final 3 hands would almost be equal. that we can quess with some degree of accuracy over the long run, so therefore if i know that fact i can assume that the lead over the next 3 hands will also be about the same. playing an average game would be the best policy and 3rd man did indeed cut the lead. 2 of 3 will go on. the odds are with someone now. ofcourse we got h 24 and h 25 coming up and the bets will be must bets. still i would now bet only 250 and double that in hand 25 if i lost h 24. i still can get in with a profit of at least 250 over the last two hands. "all things average"

 

also i disagreed with ken's bet of 200. 130 dollars should have been his bet. now he is 150 down with only 2 hands to go.

 

Cats, he has bad position on last hand. He needs to lead at least one of his competitors AT LEAST ONE!

If you're interested Ken has a tourney guide that is probably the best info available to get started playing tournaments. And its dont cost a fity cent ante LOL

my money is on the leader, someone, and ken to show!

 

hand 22

hand 22 - bets in order 100, 200 ken, 30 and offcourse somewhere back there betting like a nut is fourth place.

after 22 leader = 1410, 1015 ken, 1165 someone

button on ken last table-

leader should bet 250 dollars, ken 250 dollars, someone 250 dollars and has 4th pulled off a miracle yet?
