    I'm folding both times, best your looking at first hand is a coin flip and with 2 people all in i really doubt that.

    Man, I just fell apart at the final table... Everyone kept limping on my blind, and it just got me in trouble when I'd get a piece of the flop and they wouldn't show any strength...

    Just how late in the tournament is the 10s hand? Are we talking bubble? In the money? Approaching final table?

    His range has to be pretty small but we are getting 2:1. That said I don't think he has AK/AQ enough of the time to make this +EV.

    Did you have any reads? What did you think his range was based on his play thus far?


    I think I call with the AT, the villain doesn't need to have that strong a hand to make this play with. Again, were there any reads on him?


    That river call with K5 was ugly


    In future threads if you can give us a bit more info on the villains then it would make analysis a lot easier.

    All are at the final table of a $4 180-man sng top 18 make double their money back. 9th makes $12, 8th $18, 7th $25... up to $216 for 1st

    For the A10 play, I think he has to have any ace, and k10 -kq. I probably had the best hand, but I wasn't sure it was where I wanted to take my stand


    Dunno wtf I was doing with the K5. just pure brainfart donkiness

    In that case I can't get my chips in fast enough. You gotta play for first in these, the payouts are so top heavy!

    I fold the AT.

    I get my shit in REAL fast on the TT hand. It being a $4 MTT, you're ahead of both ranges without specific reads me thinks.
