Title: Good or bad play? Post by: oinkment on October 31, 2005, 01:46:39 AM Ok this is the situation - I would really like to know if I made the right play here or if I should of waited for a better chance.
Cyrpto online tourney 43 players left (paying out to 60 so I was in the money anyway) My stack is 10.5 K the average stack is around the 20-25K mark and the chip leader has about 35K. The Blinds at 600/1200 (ante of 150) and i pick up Ad 9d in the BB UTG go's all in for 2.5K and its folded to the small blind who calls - so i think a little and I also call as I felt the pot odds were good. Flop is 2d 6d As - and the SB makes a bet of 1200 - the pots at 7.5K and I had 7.8K left. I had a think and put the SB on a pair of aces too but was worried he might have a stronger kicker than 9. I figured I had any diamond for the nut flush or a 9 for a nasty two pair as my outs. my oponent had 20K left in chips and I decided that it was a good hand to all in on as I was unlikley to get a better chance with only 7X the BB left if i folded. Well he did have Ac Jc and the next two cards were 3c Kh so I lost the hand and went out of the game. admitidly it was a gamble but was it the right gamble?? Title: Re: Good or bad play?

you are probably favourite here as it happens, for me a no brainer :)up Title: Re: Good or bad play? Post by: Longy on October 31, 2005, 02:13:05 AM Yeah i think this play is fine. You have a nut draw and top pair the pot is big enough for you to push all in and get the correct odds. You might even get the aj to fold here, i mean what does he have you on to make this play.

Title: Re: Good or bad play? Post by: 12barblues on October 31, 2005, 02:18:24 AM You are shortstacked and this is a great flop for your hand. It's an automatic all in for me. You may well be ahead already, and even if you are behind you have a big draw to hit.
I don't think the SB played this very well, giving you great odds to call pre-flop and I have no idea what his tiny bet on the flop was trying to achieve. Title: Re: Good or bad play? Post by: TightEnd on October 31, 2005, 10:06:52 AM nothing much to add, both pre and especially post flop plays itself.
Hit, and you are back in business for a decent payday Hard luck Title: Re: Good or bad play? Post by: jezza777 on October 31, 2005, 10:33:14 AM I am allin here every day of the week
Title: Re: Good or bad play? Post by: AdamM on October 31, 2005, 10:41:52 AM almost exactly how I went out of yesterdays Notts game Ad 9d v As Qd flop Ac 7d 4d not sure the diamonds were definitely 7,4) not improvement. you did right to move them in.
Title: Re: Good or bad play? Post by: mikkyT on October 31, 2005, 11:00:52 AM Same play here, can't fault you.
Title: Re: Good or bad play? Post by: byronkincaid on October 31, 2005, 03:05:15 PM I probably would have gone all in pre flop. You're short stacked there's lots of money in the pot. UTG could have anything, I try to get SB to fold but if not you ain't got a bad hand with which to see 5 cards. I push and hope to see lots of diamonds.
Title: Re: Good or bad play? Post by: oinkment on October 31, 2005, 03:29:39 PM Thanks - I feel much better now!
Nice comments and advice. Title: Re: Good or bad play? Post by: Bongo on October 31, 2005, 03:31:35 PM I think I would have played it exactly the same as you; i certainly would not be passing on that flop.
