Anybody read anything/have strategy on limpers at final tables of MTTs?

last 5 of a 100 man $10 FO on pp btw There's 4 of us left now and they all suck ! I have twice as many chips as 3rd/4th and slightly more than 2nd

[Luwinski]

We're headsup he is hyper mega passive.

I'm such a hero!

room for a value bet?

[Rex McGee]

I'd check call? See your point though.

Also you need to hide results if you want advice because it affects people's input sometimes.

[Nova]

I think against one other player I'd def stick in a small value bet. With 4 in the pot though, a check is fine IMO.

[Luwinski]

Itsnowvalicious how many times rich can get KK into AA @ 50 NL

Itsnowvalicious how many times rich can get KK into AA @ 50 NL

Don't

Got KK in against THE SAME GUY twice in 6 hands and he had AA both times, then AJ on a AJ9 two diamond board against AA (no three bets pre), then lost a bunch with TPGK against AA in a blind battle. Superb. Went from 2 buyins up to 2 buyins down. $50NL is being a bitch to me atm.

[Nova]

Playing a few FTP MiniFTops sats at the moment. Getting horrendously unlucky tbh. Had a great chance at a $50 Omaha seat only to get 7%'d on the river (we should have split, with me the more likely to win.

Meh. Then got HU with another guy for one seat and he won 3 flips against me to go from massive dog to winner

EDIT - And the only basically dead cert has just lost as well I shove AQ SB to BB to who was on 2 BB before two double ups, he calls with 77 to leave me with 55 chips, a tenth of a BB. ffs...

FT of a $22 HUP shootout on Party at the moment

[satriales]

Played a couple of short MTT sessions today. Made two final table of 180 mans but ran badly in both and only got 7th and 5th. Down slightly for the day overall (thanks to a couple of non-cashes in $22 MTTs) but up slightly at the 180 mans.

[Luwinski]

You going to get your gold star sat?


Just won the HUP $22 shootout on Party (NO BYE!) and scooped $207 for my efforts.

Last hand:

[satriales]

You going to get your gold star sat?

I'm behind target at the moment so maybe not, but I should be able to get my $50 stellar bonus.

Also, I still had one table open when I made my last post and I just finished 3rd, so now I'm up $160 for the day

[Nova]

What made you call the flop, out of interest? Surely there are better spots against a mini-donk? He had like 40% there not including any fold equity he had. What would you have done with A7? Then it's very close to flipping...

Anyway, well done!

[Luwinski]

I'd beeen playing him for 20 minutes. was pretty sure i was good. if not had over cards as protection

[Nova]

Oh yeah, fair enough. But I mean you can definitely have better spots there than gamble a 60/40.

[Luwinski]

I was happy with a 60/40 really BUT I thought it mightve been finer than that. Would've had 1k left had he won so wouldn't have been great but still had some equity left.

It was possibly a fold for sure though.

[Doug]

Just been playing a free-roll. One hour in and I get moved to a table where all 8 people were away. It got a bit boring raising every hand and everyone else auto-folding. I did get about 10k of chips though! Wish they were all like that.
