ALL IN Massive Flip For Piles! Running Deep in $50K MTT - Tournament Poker In Cali! Poker Vlog #89 

i was on the edge of my seat the whole time.. tourney poker is such both a grind at times, and a whirlwind of up, then down, then way way up, then down down, then UP, then..............................out.... sometimes... loved every hand, looked like overall, your played solid tourney poker, vs a field of moderate level skills, which can make play a lot more unpredictable.. Cant wait for the next one..!!!

Your Vlogs are the best out there. So well done and so well explained. And I love the way you play !!!!!!!!

Loved that K9 bluff! Amazing move!

It's a nice room. Played there a couple times when I lived in the SF Bay area.

It was nice meeting you!! I was one of the other ambassadors from graton! Hope to see you next time around.

I've been so bad with keeping up with commenting, sorry. That button vs. big blind discussion was really interesting!

Thanks for showing folded hands. Really helps !

Unlucky, gotta win those flips.

Nice Ash, love the energy you have. God bless your success. Next time I'm in the States, I'll look you up.

One additional comment about the AK hand you busted out on: Many players suffer from "Short Stack Syndrome" - as you did in this hand. That's when a tournament player begins to convince themselves they must become extremely aggressive and risk their stacks in less than optimal situations because they're surrounded by deep stacks and are down to 15 or 20 players. Short Stack Syndrome is pure panic, and it is NEVER the proper play. With 25 BBs you can easily reach the money and even win the tournament. You have plenty of chips & time (orbits) to wait for better spots. Extra aggression is the right play when you're deep (55 bbs or more) - it is not the right play when you have a shorter stack. 25 BBs is enough to put a big dent in your opponents stacks so you still have a formidable position to fight from. IMO you should tighten up in this situation, play premiums, make normal 3x preflop raises and only shove or call a shove when you feel you are the favorite to win the hand. It's smarter to risk a 25 bb stack with a well executed bluff against one player than to risk the 3-way jam you made with AK in this hand. Self preservation is #1 with 25 bb left in a tournament with 17 players left. All it takes is one winning hand to get you back near the Average Stack Size where you become more dangerous and more capable of running deep or winning the event.

Great video Ash.

Well played.

I know it was tough in the moment, but I think you could've gotten away from the A-Ko hand. It was shaping up to be a 3-way pot, and you still had a healthy stack. With your experience and skill advantage, I'm not sure I would have taken the risk at that point. But it was a great run regardless. Can't wait for the next video.

Great vid as usual.

Tough way to bust, Ashley. Your Ace 6 hearted hand resembled a tourney hand I had the other day. I was short stacked in the BB with Ace 4 off. MP limps, BTN limps, I check my option. Flop is Ace 8 Ace. I shove, MP reraises, and BTN calls. MP had 88's for the boat, and BTN had Ace 6 and rivered a 6 for a better boat for the main pot. Poker is tough sometimes! 😂

I’m all in! Liked! Subscribed! Comment!

You sound kinda like the watch mojo voice over girl.

Very nice Queen.

A6♥️♥️ shows love!

You way smart

Wanna know something crazy. I've hit 2 straight flushes playing Holdem however the only time I hit Quads was when it was on the board lol

You didn't do anything wrong there; just the game. Well done.

Hi Ash, buenos dias! I had a question for you: how many re-entries were allowed for the $250 buyin $50k guaranteed tournament? Also, do you prefer playing tournaments that allow multiple re-entries or freezeouts (I'm always more inclined to fire freezeout events, but definitely won't shy away from playing the occasional re-entry event)? I grew up watching the Main at the WSOP in terms of tournament poker so that's what I have always been used to.

Thank you was ahead

Just my personal opinion given a lifetime of AK not winning, that a 3bet followed by an all in, I'm laying down my AK in that scenario.

Well done ashley. ❤

All in

AK is not a mandatory Allin, in my opinion. Getting close to $$, maybe you need to think about a fold.... just saying

How do I become a member? I’m going to get pokerbros and want to play in your tournaments.

And this is why I never play (or at least never try to play) AJ offsuit.

Where can i find that chart @5:31 ?

Disagree with your decision to call with AK after a 3 bet and a shove. You still had 25 BBs left in your stack - why risk it all against that much resistance? Avoiding tough spots is artful and smart. Self preservation is #1. Laying down AK is often the smart play in Tournament play. Why take the worst of it when you know you're not the favorite?
