    Default Could I have bluffed any better?

    Limping with suited crap is my idea of fun early in MTTs.

    Party Poker
    No Limit Holdem Tournament
    Blinds: t20/t40
    10 players
    Converter

    Stack sizes:
    UTG: t3200
    UTG+1: t3000
    Barbourman: t3200
    MP1: t2742
    MP2: t2900
    MP3: t2603
    CO: t3685
    Button: t2920
    SB: t2950
    BB: t2800

    Pre-flop: (10 players) Barbourman is UTG+2 with
    UTG calls t40, UTG+1 folds, Barbourman calls t40, MP1 calls t40, MP2 calls t40, MP3 folds, CO calls t40, 2 folds, 2 folds, BB checks.

    Flop: (t260, 6 players)
    BB checks, UTG checks, Barbourman bets t40, MP1 calls t40, MP2 calls t40, CO calls t40, BB calls t40, UTG calls t40.

    Turn: (t500, 6 players)
    BB checks, UTG checks, Barbourman bets t120, MP1 folds, MP2 calls t120, 2 folds, UTG calls t120.

    River: (t860, 3 players)
    UTG checks, Barbourman bets t300, 2 folds.
    Uncalled bets: t300 returned to Barbourman.

    Results:
    Final pot: t860

    dude you look like every fish in the $1 turbos.

    that is terrible.

    flop - dont bluff into 5 people on a draw heavy board. same with the turn.

    see my post "discontinue the continuation bets"

    Flop - bet of t40 into a t260 pot and a field of 6!! - what the hell is this - a pot sweetener? This what Marm and I coined as a 'power-check' !

    Turn - t120 into a t500 pot and still a field of 6! I don't understand this bet unless your trying to represent a made str8 and are sucking in more bets!! It doesn't look like your protecting anything with the odds you're giving so it's worth as a value bet is diminished. And you're certainly encouraging the str8 draws from the other 5.

    River - lucky you! bluffing one opps is optimal and 2 possible - as you just pulled off. Bluffing into 5 opps as on the flop and turn thou - geeeezzzzzz

    See...... at home my wife went out and bought a foam baseball bat, just for similar situations like this (usually non poker related), she beats me with it screaming "What the hell were you thinking???"

    I love this hand in a multiway pot, but only from the CO or Button. UTG+2 (10handed) you should be playing very, very tight.

    only if there is a lot of raising going on in the tourney. if it is loose and passive than position doesnt mean as much.
