Massively overbetting the best hand

This amusing hand

led to my reckless-looking exit in a $2 multi on Stars:

After seeing the first hand there was no question i was getting a call from the lad, AQ with no fold equity again anyone?

4-handed shootout on Stars,

Was playing very lively early on as two of the players were too tight. It was effectively me heads up vs villain already. Showed him a bluff the previous hand so knew he was snapping here with any part of the flop:

Shoved deuces into AK and AJ with 8BBs at 50/100 which didn't hold up to regain the CL. Just checked i was 40% fave pre which i didn't expect... 81% after the turn! Not to be.


The two big overbet hands are quite interesting. It isn't really poker but i find it hard to turn down chances to overbet all in like this when these players are willing to call so light. I have no problems with this play in SnGs (and especially the 4 handed shootout, as above) but if i continue to take 60/40s like this in 1000+ player multis i'm not going to win very many. It's tough to win races consistently so i wonder whether it'd make sense to just peel one for cheap then check fold a flop. Who knows...


Only other tourn today was a boring $1 multi, pretty standard right through to the exit hand AK vs TT to come nowhere, 579th out of 1701.

If i start winning 50% of my 50/50s and 60% of my 60/40s (maybe 50% of my 20/80s!) i'll be fine...
