    pittsburgh guy nick sliwinski finished 13th in the main event last night.  whenever someone you know or know of at least goes far in a tournament, do you ever wonder what it would be like to be in their place?  im saying if you had actually played the tournament in his spot with his exact cards and everything would you have went further?  i would definitely love to know the answer to this question.  if someone invents a time machine ala doc brown in back to the future let me know.

    everybody plays hands differently, poker is also situational and people have different styles so it's very hard to say. But if anybody has the hand history he bust on we can all break it down and see how we'd play it.

    hand he went out on (i already said i felt he played it bad at another thread):
     
     
    i have to type it it wont paste:
     
    philips makes it 460000 from midposition, sliwinski big blind call
     
    flops 973 hearts
     
    sliwinski bets 500000, philips call
     
    turns 6 spade
     
    sliwinski bets 1.2 mil, philips call
     
    river 9 spade
     
    sliwinski goes all in, philips calls with kq hearts, sliwinski had 5diamonds,6heart.
     
    i dont like the fact he got involved outta position so late with kinda a bad hand.

    so he goes out with a poor 2 pair hand, when he shoulda been done with the hand after the flop. Don't mind his call in the big blind, assuming that he had a lot of chips, but after the flop, if he makes the flush, maybe it's no good anyway? And don't chase idiot straights, or really any straights for that matter, when 3 to a flush is on board.

    im not sure if he had a lot of chips or not if he did it was an ok call i guess specialyl if this philips was raising a lot.  i think the leadout on the flop is ok because he got a bad flush draw and a double gutshot, and gets rid of hands like 2 bigs with no heart draw.  also he gets raised on the leadout then he can fold easy. two things i think he shoudl do on the turn.  first is check then go all in if guy bets. if he doesnt then check call river. he would have to be reading the guy as weak to do this.  2nd thing is bet about what he did maybe a little less then if he is called check the river and see what philips does.  hard to see philips bluffing at the river when he has shown strength twice.  i still wouldnt mind a preflop fold since his hand is pretty weak anyways and is playing out of position.  im assuming the players must be at least somewhat good if they got that far in the tournament, not complete idiots and tough to outplay after the flop.

    honestly when he calls on the flop im probably think he already got a huge flush at least queen high or he has the ace of hearts or maybe ace any and king hearts.  cant see him just calling the leadout with a set or overpair on that board
