Hey all, and thanks for the welcome reception.
So far, I've watched three CR videos, two by AaronBeen and one by JSchnett. They're very informative, and I have a much better idea of how to play rebuys now. I'm eager to try the $3R, to be honest, because I find rebuys provide for much less volatility since you usually go in with a solid starting stack.
I've also read half of the HoH1 and half of HoH2. So far, it's mostly review, and I'm going to try to look for more mid/late-game oriented advice, since the hand analysis for the early stages, though excellent, is not what needs most improving. I'm playing with massive donks, and I don't really feel intimidated by their turn/river play.
While reading HoH, though, I came across a very well-analysed situation. It is on p.130 of V1.
| | Example No. 2: It's the second day of the WSOP. You've managed to double up to 20k. Your table has one player with a stack larger than yours, 26k. All other stacks are between 5k and 15k. Blinds are 150/300/25, so initial pot is 700.
You are dealt   UTG
You 4x BB to 1200; the bigstack w/ 26k calls in 5th position (CO). Everyone else folds.
Flop:   
You bet 3,000, and villain shoves. What's your action?

Harrington goes on to analyse the hand very well. If anyone would want to provide their thoughts on the hand, please do so in comments. I'll post Harrington's 4-5 page answer (condensed) in the next post.
On to other things. I have to say I've been running disgustingly... I've not cashed in any of the tourneys I've played so far (about 20). Getting pretty annoying, especially given I'm always ahead.
I do believe tournaments are psychologically tougher than cash games. The way things are going, July is shaping up to be a rape of a month. As a consolation, though, every time I get knocked out I can say, "lol, donkaments."

AA hand looks like a snapcall
especially in a tournament
edit: unless its like, you have to beat your table to move forward
in which case it could be a fold imo
just cuz theres so much shitting u can take on the small/medium stacks (not so much the medium if they're any good but ya) with your chip advantage its easier to slowly chip them down than play a huge pot vs the big stack and have to chip them down anyway
even tho its probable u have a high edge in this situation |

i like how he dosn't provide any information on our oppponent, somehow he has managed to double his stack as have we, and we don't know how he plays or how he doubled it
against a random, this is a snapcall thou |

Forgot to add:
Up until now he has appeared to be an experienced solid, conservative player. Your table image is also that of a solid, conservative player. |
