Pfft, moving up on a downswing eh?

EV graph is complete rubbish by the way. You could bet 99% of your stack with your opponent drawing to one out and then get that last 1% in on the river, the graph would show negative EV. Ive stopped looking at it.

keep up the blogging strum, also, dont ever look at ur EV graph, its depressing, tilts you and usually wildly innaccurate. smash em up!

well there was a number of ways i could have played the hand diffrent, there was enough money in the pot pre flop to justify a push all in there. As for the flop yep of course pushing was an option, but after going over the hand i put him on a very tight range, KQ, K10, KJ 77, for me it was one of this hands or a complete bluff thus to get the full value out of my hand against hands im beating i dont want to scare him off. Again obviously i know that my hand is vunrable against certain hands, but i think he raises with AQ pre flop and hes missed with Q10 and i certainly didnt put him on 89.......infact after spending all day playing with him i still cant put him on 89 os in this position

The year is not over :-) On the KJ hand, did you not consider shipping it on the flop, 2pair is very vulnerable with two cards to come, even if the flop is "safe". Someone can have the other card paired with an ace and hit a bigger 2pair, they could hit a set let alone runner runners or the gutshot that got you ! See you at the DT Final :-)

Cheers Eric, but even though it was a "turbo" the cream still came to the top and its good to see a real great UK player take the title, and a gent to boot............the legend Mr Kelly strikes again!

Nice write up, glad somebody backs up my view that it is a turbo donkfest especially early on. Reminds me of an online game where you lose half the field every hour. Somebody even tried to compare it to a GUKPT main event !!!!
