As with most of my strategy threads, I usually post hands that have a couple of key decision points I think would cause interesting discussion. This hand below has several, and for multiple players. It's also a hand I wasn't in, so I'm going to post it from the player's perspective that was most interesting. However, after the hand is completed, I'm going to add one more post about the hand to ask a few questions about key points for the other players as well - multiple items will merit discussion here and I think multiple mistakes were made in the real hand even though it likely wouldn't have changed the eventual outcome.
Context: 8 handed, single table tourney - first event of our league season so "points" are on the line in addition to the prize pool for the event. Two places paid. Early stages (level 4 - 75/150). Initial stacks are 15k, and everyone is still close to that number. Event is limited to one rebuy maximum - no rebuys yet.
SB - me, not relevant to the hand - 14k
BB - LAG, plays suited trash and low connectors sometimes with raising when he feels saucy; competent player - 16k
UTG - Maniac pre, but competent LAG post flop - 14k
UTG + 1 (Our Hero) - Tighter player who is newer to poker but studies, sometimes expects high stakes principles to apply at low stakes games (he's too sticky) - 14k
MP - Strong TAG, hates tournaments though so keeps suggesting everyone goes all in so we can play a cash game already - 16k
CO - a 40 year old OMC, barely know he's there - 15k
HJ - ABC player who bluffs in position a little too often - 15k
BTN - ABC player who exhibits a little bit too much stickiness - 16k
UTG limps for 150
