  1. i'm sitting about 25/70 in chips. only been at the table for 2-3 orbits. i've been playing somewhat aggressively but have shown down good hands twice. villains OPR stats aren't the best, but he seems competent...

    anyways, this seems like a sticky situation...MTT experts please feel free to comment or criticize on my play here. i felt like risking ~30bbs on a marginal hand was a bad decision and that i could pickup chips in better spots...but i almost feel like a missed a big opportunity here.

  2. good fold
  3. U were killed. Nuff said. Tough but right fold, esp for all your chips. At best you're only 50-50, so why risk calling off there, unless he shoved and showed some whack @$$ hand prior to you posting this. $hit happens, move on. Take his cookies in a future spot. GL!!!
  4. Seems like an easy call to me
    2
  5. x
  6. Fold is good given that you don't have any read that the BB is a maniac. People tend to shove tighter in the lower buy-ins so I like your fold.
  7. Fold, and raise his BB next time on principle.
