cant see a lot with your play, always nicer to be pushing than calling but beggars cant be choosers sometimes

Yup, if the action had been on me first I would be probably raised 3xBB (which were 1k and 2k at the time, with a 100 chip ante, hence my need to act quickly) and then re-raised all in against anyone who had raised against me. I know the strategy for KQ suited is to be facing as few players as possible with it (it's still only King high after all), so I wasn't unhappy when this guy went all-in and pushed everyone but me out. I'd make the same call again in the same situation I think, didn't have the chips or time to hold out for a good pocket pair to try and double up with.

with 8k and those chips/antes there would be no point with 3xBB, just stick it in, more chance of taking it down uncontested, after all you aren't going to fold to a re raise

I've gotta ask as well, how did you get to be as good as you are? I know you play a lot which obviously helps, but did you use any books to improve your play? If so, any you can recommend? I don't think I'm a bad player but there's a ton I still need to learn so any help would be appreciated.

Who said I am any good ?
 If you want some good books the Harrington on hold'em are the ones to go for There are 3 volumes re tournament play though vol 3 was brought out when poker book cames and IMO is just milking it a bit, 1+2 ahould be all you need other that that the practice,practice,practice  learn the basics such as position,pot odds and how to adjust game in relation to stack sizes, then move on to impied odds, table image etc I prob average 30-50 online games and 2-3 live ones a week correny ROI 11% online STT , 36% online MTT and well into 3 figures for large field live games |

Do the Harrington books cover stuff like pot odds and implied odds?

Came first out of 86 in a tourny tonight, it was only one step up from a free roll but I was still quite pleased and won a ticket to another round
 Er, you may have noticed that my avatar isn't exactly a dead ringer for me  MB
