Sat tour running good

one of the other four tournys that i took down this week was a 15 $75 token frenzy
I had to get a little lucky on this tournament. I had a good read on the player opening this pot in the first screen shot. He was flat pushing with pairs, and with a strong to med ace he'd try and play it strait. knowing full well he likes to gamble I shoved on him. and he insta called with his stronger then expected AQo. and the numbers held up for me as i had a smooth double thru-




the Next monster I had to play this fish, that is a minor calling station who does not raise with his big hands. So i figure he's going to call a big raise - and as expected he does, but my Cbet was just shoving so he folded -



the final hand I played was this ugly duck I was 4K with big 400 800 blinds. So with my short stack i shoved in to the tightest player in the BB At the table. prob - Small blind wakes up with AK and calles - with out this win im in bad shape to make the bubble survival. but I hit and took down another toke-

Following Soooot, with my own bad beat story in the 5K

First hand I played tonight was just a nightmare- with KQ in the BB. I see a flop very cheap level one T(80 chips). I flop the King on the board of K 10 7 rainbow. I elect to go for a ch+ raise. worked perfectly, opponent bet here in a 4 way pot. I am thinking ok perfect. he bet 150, I there bet here to 450. He actually calls quick. turn is a complete COMPLETE blank 2s. he checks, and with position i make a pot bet 1100. It gets insta called, now I am concerned... maybe he was betting out with the AK? betting out with two pair? ok so the river. Im pot committed no matter what falls... But the river Brings a Q. making top two pair for me. my opponent bets out. now I think for sure, he either was slow playing two pair, or AK for sure is being OVER played. NOPE, neither. My opponent Bet out in a four way pot with A gunshot, AJ off.
Just like that, I'm out.ppl are complementing the play on this site left and right, frankly I don't see it. most of the players here I have seen here Just donk. Calling all ins in a MULTI WAY pot with AQ???? I have no idea what some of these players are thinking. Seriously ppl this site should be awarding tournament strategy guides to players rather then cash calling an all in in a Multiway pot, I would expect you have one of maybe three hands... this is ussually not the case here.
Last week I made a mistake agaisnt HODGED DEEEEEEP in the 40K, i thought that the play would be rewarded or respected, but truth is if I was paying attention i would have realized that my play would not get respect. HODGED had previously CALLED an all in with AQoff at my table only to find out the opp had AQ himself. Having seen this I should have known that My image would not be respected if I waited for a hand to go up against this player.

So i found myslef with A Very heathy stack staying out of Hodges way, He was rasing a LOT of pots as there were only 75 players left. I had layed down an AJ to him, so when I got JJ and hodgeD once again came in three betting from early position I realized his VPIP was too high, and he should really respect a reraise jam. well, no such luck, with stacks of 37k EACH, he having raised to 6K insta called the rest of his 32K stack after I Jammed on the Button. once again, I lost race against AQ off. I dont respect the call made, and i hope that play here on Spade club is raised. GL at the tables all.
