Thanks pinotte, and congrats to all mobsters that cashed... and there is one question I have to ask themachine... why you called there with 56? you wanted to go out or? because you dont beat anything, you only had gut shot with 1 card to come....

Hey! I had already put around 60% of my chips into the pot with the double barrel and I wasn't folding any 2 card at this point. Since you only had ace high I had around 10 outs I just didn't hit. Onto the next one I don't semi bluff like this very often so when I do I usually get respect from my opponent. I'll catch you next time don't worry ^^

ok, you got 60% invested in pot... and for sure you couldnt think you had 10 outs there... you often there had 4 outs... still if you even have 10 outs, I think that you didnt had good enought odds... I think you had like 30% pot odds maybe even more there and if I belived you and say you tought you have 10 outs (which you didnt, I blocked your 5... would gived me wheel... I had A3) but lets say you had 10 outs... thats 20% on turn where you called all in...still you are way off... but for sure you couldnt thinkin that spot that your 5 or 6 is alive... so in reality you will almoust always have 4 outs there for your gut even if you have those... which is like 8% in reality... still you are way way off... I am not haiting you or anything ( dont know why you have pick on me ), but i am trying to improve your game... and I hope you will get me next sunday
------------ and by the way you didnt had 4 outs from your gut but 3 because I blocked your 1 out
... < ...I saw a bunch of mobbits in the loot and was hoping for a mobbit dominated final table.... Oh well....Next time...!
.... < ...Congratzzzzzz guys...!
... < I spent much of the game sitting out so I could catch the Nascar race in Michigan,....and lucky enough I was seated at a table full of cannibal donks... They ate each other,....and I slipped into the LOOT...!!!
Still you gotta make the shove with your ace high on a very wet board where I could have hit any pair because obviously I had a pretty wide range at this point. I wanted to see what you had and I like what I saw. Like I said keep doing that with ace high when you think im bullying cause 90% of the time in that spot I will have something that beats ace high and will still call you in an instant When you called my shove with J9 on the BB and I had AK that was a terrible play and I didn't lecture you about it. I was just happy that you called with a hand that beats nothing. You thought I was stealing your BB everytime but maybe I just had a hand. As you can see I wasn't folding any small pocket pair or even bottom pair there so your shove really has 0 fold equity against my range and you had to float out of position and check raise all in on the turn with A2 high and be right to win the pot. (idk if the fact that you had a gutshot influenced your decision to shove on the turn but it's a very bold play) I wouldn't say that's an easy pot to win and your play is probably as risky as mine except I'm the one betting and in position
Good luck next week I hope we get sat on the same table and you are on my left again

wow wow... you have a lot to learn here... I didnt have just A high, because I will not shove there with just A high if I dont have more equity... I had also gut shot, and shoving there is way way better with A high and gut shot, than calling with same cards... but you called with gut shot and 6 high... which is catastrophic... when i shove I have additional folding equity which is huge, and how you played that hand I put you on compleate air...because you didnt represent anything... next one J9 call is preaty damn good in my opinion, and evry single solid poker player will tell you that... you had like 15BB and you 3 times in row shoved when I was on BB from D... I will find some cards with decent equity and call J9s is perfect... its suited its connected against your AKoff I had 40% which is preaty damn good... its a perfect cards to call your shove... if you dont know why than I suggest to learn more, not to mention that I got you covered more than 3 times of your stack. and if you think that J9s is bad there... ohhhh boy... I would take J9s there before any Ax or Kx hand...because J9s has huge equity agaainst hand like yours if you have it, and it has biggest equity against pocket pairs... no other cards doesnt have more equity against AA... put it in calc if you dont belive me so if you have AA I have like 33% if you have AK, KQ nad other broadway cards I have like 40% (unless you cover my suits) if you are bluffing I am way ahead... and I could easy afford your shove...
------------ I will try to explain you little better that J9s hand... it wasnt just dumb call, I would never do that... there is a logic behind it... and here it goes... considering pot odds I had to have equity around 40% maybe slightly lower to justify my call J9s have 40% equity against any 2 over cards, which is good, also you shoved 3x in row from that position which would contain some bluffs, and I have a lot more equity against your bluffs, also i doubted you had strong pocket pair because you shoved 3x in row, but in that case I have cards that are doing best against strong pp, also if you have mid pp and baby pocket pairs i am flipping which again justify my equity, and I am phucked if you had blockers like J or 9 but considering that I have bigger equity against bluffs and smaller pp and I had righ amount of equity against overcards that justify call, I could afford that, because in long run I would be there profitable...
------------ and you with 56 doesnt have any equity on turn... its just suicide you dont beat any pp or better even you dont beat any other cards you will win there only if you hit and if I remember flop was Q24 I check HJ check you bet I had gutshot and overcard, and decided to call beacuse you will have a lot more bluffs than value cards on position there. turn was K, so I decided to lead because if you had Q and bet flop there I can push you out of your hand on river, but if you were bluffing and catched K, i could put pressure on you and make you fold your weaker K, but you decided to reraise which was perfect for me, because you didnt represent anything there maybe some weak sets but you wouldnt lead on flop with them, and i had amazing bluff hand with nice equity and I decided to shove, now you called with 56 there... you dont beat any pair you dont beat any bluff there, only your hope was to hit 3 and we were on turn O.o lets say I could understand you calling shove on flop (it would still be bad but you would have more equity) but on turn with only one card to come is terrible...also you said you had 10 outs, which you didnt I blocked your 5 and i had 3 in my hand so you had 4 sixes and 3 threes, thats 7 outs, butwhen oponent shove there you couldnt put him on ace high your real equity there is just 4 threes, and thats only 8%
------------ thats why I tought you maybe wanted to get out of tournament, maybe you were busy and thats why i asked you why you called there, because I realy tought you had to go somewhere, there is no other logic for me O.o
------------ my mistake 3 sixes and 3 threes 6 outs
So it's okay to make bad calls pre flop with Jack high but it's not okay to call on the turn when you put more than half your chips in the pot, in a freeroll, ITM? If you Think I was playing my A game buddy you have no idea how much I don't care about this game. It's a weekly freeroll and I'm going for the win. Keep doing weak plays with A high against me on the turn I just love it. But don't judge my play as I've seen you do terrible plays in the past like calling pre flop shoves for over 100 BB with AQo. You aren't as good as you think you are. You have tons of big holes in your game. If you wanna teach me some poker I'm down for a heads up.
You do realize that if you lose that hand I'm close to being chip leader and you lose half your stack. You don't seem to realize how lucky you were that I had nothing in that spot, cause you have obviously no idea how much of a nit I can be and that you had 0 fold equity on that turn so your play just isn't good. You're just stacking me everytime I have a pair there. I'm sure you'll think twice before trying to semi bluff me again knowing I can make very thin calls when I feel like the other guy is making a move. I'm not one to put over 50% of my chips in a pot and then fold, especially in a freeroll. But anyways, I like loose plays. It's a lot more fun to be creative and try to destroy everyone at the table than just being there waiting for aces and open raising to 3-5x BB.
Btw, best hand to crack aces isn't J9 (about 20%) it's 56 at about 23%. In fact, 56s is also the best suited connector against AK or any other big hand.

who said its a bad call with J9s? it was correct call even if you show me AKoff there I will gladly call...and you are right J9s has not 20 but 21% preflop against AA, and I am not haiting you, but your mistake is huge there, and it seems that you are stubborn to learn from it...I am not saying that because I hate you or have pick on you, I am saying that to help you, you realize you dont beat anything with your gut shot and 6 high on turn, also there is huge diference between showing and calling, and if you cant learn from it... ok i will stop trying, do what you wanna do, think that call there is bad with J9s also think that calling shove on turn with gutshot and 6 high is +EV... and if I made call with AQ there for sure I had reason...position wise stack wise and play wise...or maybe I didnt want to play it...and for sure I dont know the best, and I addmit that, i will never be the best, but difference between me and you is when I play something bad and someone say to me that play is bad because of this and that, I listen and correct my play... I dont assume that that person is haiting me and doesnt know what he is talking about...in poker you must always learn and fix your mistakes...

I played it and as usually could not make it.
Wow congratz to our fellow MObster STheP for taking the whole freeroll down. must of been a good run to make that deep a run and win it all.
And TheMachineQC dont take what STheP says so harshly he comes across rude at times but i think it's just the language barrier, hopefully.
Some of his assessments and comments do cut right to the point and he usually has some good wisdom regarding the game but i can see how it could've been perceived.
