    Darin, I'm a BFP newbie but have watched all your videos. I've played some cash on line prior to blk friday but never SNG's so I'm very aprecitive of your instruction and deep experience. I do have a comment on this one. When you had the Kc,Qh hand and after you explained why you folded, I stopped the video and jotted down some notes. I would not have folded this hand to his min raise when he had 785 behind. I would have called the 100 and seen a flop looking for two pair or a good straight draw. You said you couldn't afford to give him your entire stack and you couldn't have since you would have had 2000 left if he put you all in. I guess it is like you said - perhaps you were playing too many hands. I really liked your AJ offsuit call and even though wiz didn't agre I know i would have played it the same way. I appreciate the single table approach to your videos as I have difficulty keeping up with the authors who create videos with four or more tables. I also like your stopping and backing up after we know what the players held. It is very helpful. Please keep your hand reviews coming. They are very beneficial. Sincerely, Larry - Jakfulhse

    I'm glad you are enjoying my videos. If you get chance, please give it a star rating. KQ hand: I don't think calling the 100 is a huge mistake but I still like my commentary on the hand. You are correct though that I couldn't stack off in that spot but I could have lost a significant amount of chips. One thing to think about: you said you would be looking to flop two pair or a good straight draw. A hand like 43o has the same chance of flopping two pair or a straight draw and we wouldn't be defending with that hand. Again, I don't think defending would be a huge mistake, I just think it puts us in more awkward spots and/or just gives up 100 extra chips. In this case we can afford the 100 much better than usual since we already have a double stack though. Feel free to comment back on this hand.

    Thanks. I understand your points much better. It was very early in the session where tight play is recommended. Would it have changed your mind if the KQ were suited? Did you run the KQ off thru Wiz? The bottom line is you won the tournament. Congrats!!! If you have some MTT's in your collection I would like to see them replayed.

    KQs I think is worth calling. Adding in the flush draws can setup for a good check/raise allin spot. I only playing STTs so I won't have any MTT videos. Good luck!
