2) Suprised you pushed with 10s for 3.8k with blinds at 50/100 and only 300 in the pot. I dont hate your play but i prefer a raise to 4 or 500, then a re-evaluation on your flop action if you receive a caller. And in this instance, when hes seen his 3 cards with the KQ, you can get away. Still a bad call by him, but to be fair again, its a $1 tourn. Youre gona get a lot of Donks. Unluckyyyy. Title: Re: where am i going wrong Post by: Ironside on May 18, 2007, 05:26:33 AM problem was is i raised to 1k i would of still gotten 3 callers and there isnt many flops your going to like against 3 callers with TT
i also knew i was ahead at the time and those 400 chips were better off in my stack than anyone elses i really need to go back to basics with my NLHE though i am still playing other games well but for somereason the game i learnt first has gone to pieces i am even making money in the PLHE cash games while losing in the NLHE cash games Title: Re: where am i going wrong Post by: temp0r on May 18, 2007, 02:02:03 PM to win at such tiny level tourneys you have to adapt your stratergy big time to deal with the retardedness. to be honest. i think it's damaging to your game overall doing this and may well hold you back in the long run.

What are you hoping to achieve with 89 off suit? Saying that, you got damn unlucky with eddy530747 hitting his straight - I'm not sure why he was calling. I read somewhere about playing Jacks recently, it may have been on here, anyway the point was that Jacks is only a pair of tens plus one. I'd be very reluctant to push all my chips in with tens preflop at this stage, you are sitting fairly comfortable and don't have to risk it all on a medium pair. I think a raise would have looked better, to many people seem to push with small pairs these days.

Exactly...you told everybody at that table you probably had a small/medium pair or didn't want limpers on your BB..that's why the call with KQ happens. Ofcourse you also have to take into account that at the 1$ level KQ is regarded as a monster by some players...which is exactly why you shouldn't push with TT. If you play at the 1$ level you have to take into account the sort of players you are playing and generally you have to play a tighter game. Limp with the tens and hope to hit a set and that they hit top pair..that will give you all their chips not racing for all your chips with a medium pair |
