Title: Weak ass play? Post by: Jinky04 on July 04, 2006, 02:56:22 AM This hand is from the start of the laddies highstack tourney- 4000 chips with a 15min clock and 10/20starting blinds- this obviously had a big effect on the way I played this hand so I welcome opinions.
Early days, only 4th or 5th hand of tourney, I pick up Qc Qh in mid pos. No ones limped so I pop it up to 80. Cutoff+1 reraises me to 280 and the small blind flat calls. Now most tourneys with 1500 chips I fire the stack in there and then and hope I'm ahead but given the amount of play in this tourney I felt this was premature in the first level- I decide to flat call and push my hand if the flop comes without an ace or king. First mistake? Pot: 860 Flop: 7c 5c 4c The small blind comes out firing, betting 1100 into the pot. I dwell and pass- my thinking was that the overbet signalled extreme strength and that I was drawing thin to none against the SB. This was coupled with the fact I had my preflop reraiser still to act behind me. The original reraiser moves in and the SB calls instantly. SB- Ac 7s original raiser shows Qd Qs and the queens hold on the turn and river. So was this overly weak play, even given the stack size/ blind ratio? Title: Re: Weak ass play?

So was this overly weak play, even given the stack size/ blind ratio? fair fold IMO....especially with that possible flush out there. OK you had the queen and I@ve seem plenty of people take a shot because of it and there's something to be said for it...I personally like the lay down.. Title: Re: Weak ass play?

You got loads of chips back, and there's no need to put your chips into a pot where you could be up against a set, a draw or a bigger pair.

wish i could do it more often myself Title: Re: Weak ass play? Post by: Jon MW on July 10, 2006, 04:30:17 PM Agreed it's a good fold, even knowing what he had I'd fold rather than face the coin flip situation (at that stage of the tourney anyway)
