not much to say - just rediculous how people think a-j is a good hand! two final tables on internet mtt - both lost with a-k to a-j.. one was still 7 handed - blinds at 400/800, made it 2000 first out with a-k of diamonds, gets back to bb, all-in, call - a-j offsuit - trip jacks with an ace taking me from 16,000 chip potential to 0. I don't understand what he thought someone would raise 2000 with first out that a-j was ahead of. :roll: bleh

yea I'm gonna steal the blinds from 1st out at the final table with just moderate chip stack :roll: witnessed another a-j devestation on jsp - buddy of mine raised a-q in mp after no limpers - bb calls - flop q-2-q, sb goes all-insb has a-jturn k river 10.

People steal from UTG very often in the late stages of MTT tournaments. It looks less like a steal then if it's done from later position. I do this a lot. It actually works really well when people are playing very tight near a pay jump.
