UKIPT Manchester

[0vash0rk]

Im kinda curious if there were any others of you guys who played the UKIPT in Manchester which recently completed.
And yes you can congratulate me on my 9th place, yes i suck. FML i run so horrible on big live final tables, this was the 3rd final table with the chance to win a decent cash (100k€, 96k€, and now 63k pounds) ..dont need to tell you that i busted in all between 6-9th. have pity on me
Anyways, let me hear some comments on that hand on the final table which i played: i got AA utg+1 blinds 10k/20k (1mil stack)i raise to 47k, a decent player, but pretty agressive (michael hill) flat called from the cut off all others folded. Board is 34T with 2 diamonds. He had about 700k effective stack. I decided to c/r tried to let my hand look like a draw. And he actually was that guy who would bet IP with a very wide range, saw him raising many cbets, overbeting pots stuff like that. Unfortunatly he cb that flop. Turn was a 9, flush didnt complete. I bet 82k on the turn and he raised my bet to 185k. i tanked a little and decided to shove. Of couuurse he snapped my shove with pocket nines FML again.. According to the stack sizes and raising size, how could i play that hand differently. I mean b/c the turn and call another safe river ? My hand looked pretty weak so hes probably raising a lot of turns there, QJ, fd - a pair.. He wasnt nitty at all, so pure bluffs are possible as well. I still got him covered and had about 13bb left when i shoved KQ to a cut off open raise and obv busted against AT.. Kinda annoying being 2nd chipleader on the final table for a little while and busto on 9th -.- I got amazing 3,6k pounds ...

Looking forward to more live events, try to pause online poker for awhile and play more live - its just way more profitable imo, and easy to play on a good tournament structure like it was in manchester.

gl to all..

And thats the pro owning the others (me obv) ..btw i busted vicky coren

What is your image at the table? Cuz i dont like check/shoving the flop from UTG+1. Even if he puts you on a draw, you're hoping for a hero call from Tx a midpair or a flush draw. I think Id lead out 3/4 the pot and hope he floats you, raises light, or calls w less. At that point itd just be a sick turn that he hit the 2 outter.

Im just trying to understand the play... what would you hope to get called by thats in his range w a check/shove?

-im trying to learn here, not knock your play

yea sure, i appreciate every critique on my play. My image was kinda loose/agressive i guess.. There were like 3 nits on the table so i opened a wide range. I already 4bet shoved him pre, thats probably why he checked behind the flop. I wouldnt check/shove that flop, but actually planed on c/r him and let him space to reshove me. He also could have flatted jacks / maybe queens or kings for squeeze induce. I definitly agree with 3/4 pot cbeting but against him i thought it wouldnt be a bad spot for let him bet. That turn shove was more like a protection shove, i dont see many hands except 99 obv, who cb that flop.

Great explanation I def like c/r so he'd shove much better given your description of the hand.

I think it's impressive how you keep making so many final tables Julian!
