Pxf Vid Of $5 Mtt

[Gallo 1]

This is a PXF vid of an MTT that I just won. Brag post obv. Anyway, I'd like it if possible for people to take a look and give me some opinions on what I could've done better. I'm pretty sure I probably made some donkish moves, but that's why I'm posting it.http://www.pokerxfactor.com/HA95841/12478_...09_030213/12478

You play pretty tight and I like your play but;When someone raises OOP and you are BB you tend to call with a weak hand, for instance the K-7 hand and when they place another bet you fold.

Hand 71: eeek..Fold the flop..This is fancy play syndrome, lol nice river74: I fold UTG96: A 1/2 pot bet, which would be about 600 is a bet I would prefer here but I might be splitting hairs..Its not terrible obv101: His M is about 5 here, its a close call..If he has been laggy I don't hate a call here, but it is a 1/3 of your stack..I prolly muck it114: I probably don't make an all in move preflop here..more along the lines of a raise to 1500116: Fold pf..Ttoal rubbish hand..I think the flop c/r is spew a good portion of the time117: C/bet that flopI'll look at more later

74: I agree. I don't know what it is about KJ lately, but I've been playing it quite a bit.96: Sometimes at the $5 level players see the 1/2pot as primarily a steal and weak. I figure my stack was decent enough to throw out the 2/3, if I get played back at then easy fold.101: This hand I actually took a bit of time to think about here before I called. I agree it was marginal given that this player hadn't really made a move and was pretty much playing tight. But there have been many times that the button (in general) in this situation have made moves like this with less than marginal holdings. Given my experience with that, I called. 114: This is probably one of those situations, where I have been burned alot when I throw out a sizeable bet preflop and get 2 callers or so and some nut calls with like K10 or A9. So I just shoved with 2 limpers, figuring I'd be happy with what was already in the pot, but at the same time if I get a call so be it.116: This guy had been raising quite a bit, from what I recall. Most of the time it was on my BB, and for the most part I laid it down (I think). Here, there was another caller, so I figured why not, I'm not going to lose alot if I miss, but could gain alot if I hit big. I went with the checkraise because I felt he was kind of weak and I figured I hit the flop so I would take a stab with a c/r which shows more strength.118: I totally agree. But I gave him way too much respect here with calling from the SB. I figured he had to at least have a pocket pair or somewhat of a good hand. Little did I think I would be called by A6off.-----------------------Just so people know, I'm a sucker for the min raise when I'm on the BB. I will call a minraise about %95 of the time from the BB with any 2 cards. At these levels people tend to overplay their pocket pair when they only minraise. This could be a leak, which I would agree with, but sometimes it's too tempting to stack someone with 62off.

I noticed this as well..I think it is a bit of leak to be honest

Hand 71: eeek..Fold the flop..This is fancy play syndrome, lol nice river

I honestly thought he was taking a stab at the pot, I didn't think he really had an Ace, so I min raised him for a couple reasons, main reason being able to see a cheap river, it worked and I hit. If the 5 doesn't fall on the turn I probably take another stab in hopes of taking down the pot. But by hitting the 5, I now have a few more outs, so I take the free river card. I don't know if this is fancy play or not, it is a move that I have messed around with in order to get to see a free river card, but of course I have to be in position to do this (Benefits to having position.) I remember before when I used to be like, "Position? Ha, what's the big deal about having position?" Well, I know better now.
