Big Tourny

I am working on backing down on my aggression right now. It could be that some sessions are negative to flat due to over aggression. It is tough for the leopard to change his spots though.

Here is a story for the books though: 5$ buy in tourny 700 people. half the field is left heading for the first break so not a heart breaker really but I will take comments. There is a time for aggression and this was it I am sure. I have JQ diamonds. Blinds are 50 100. I call to see a flop. Flop is 8 9 10 two clubs. Five players - first bets 200 into 500, 2nd position calls. 900 nice little pot obviously on a draw between the two of them so all in 2200 from me.

fourth player calls
fifth player calls
original raiser calls
original caller calls

There is only one guy I don't have out stacked. Turn blank, river third club. Who had the flush?

All of them.... no word of a lie they all hit and all go all in and one guy with the A takes first place in the tourny by a mile.... Oh did you count their outs? 2 The entire table was all in against me with a two outer and they all hit it. So on the flop when I push I am 92 to 8 against all of them .... COMBINED. On the turn I have then all..... 24 to 1 COMBINED

My only learning here: shut off the computer my friend your session is positive right now and you are on tilt.

LOL, I LOVE IT. Of course it was thr right play. In in low limit tournies you want to RAMP UP the aggresion in prime spots. Positionally if you were a little later and you could see the action that came behind you, then you let that go, but from your spot...hell. Why not? Take a crack at it.
