Re: 20081029 - William Hill Super Series - Key Hands Begining to think that this kind of strong play is the best way to give yourself a chance in large field(250+) MTTs. So while it might not be what I would do normally, you might have played it right. There is afterall only 2 hands your much behind and even against kings your not a millon miles behind. And they all might have folded anyway. Played in all the Paradise Birthday added mtt's and saw an awfull lot of strong plays like this with far worse holdings than AK. Nearly started a thread about large field MTTs after my own and team GaF's poor showing there. I think we as a forum are missing something important in these type of events.
