Thought I'd post this just to hear your thoughts on this situation from aresenal2004's view. Would you CALL or FOLD? I hadn't been on the Final table for long, maybe 10-15 hands but was playing tight but not overly aggresive like here. I'll let you know what I was holding 2mrw morning. >:?

End of game 399209732

Tricky one, I probably wouldn't call, I'd let it go, even if the other person was bluffing, I'd rather that than lose all my chips, especially at that stage in the game, but good on you anyway :)

It's a HUGE overbet by you. So unless you have trips, it's an easy decision. But if you make that big an overbet, he's only going to call with a hand like KQ anyway, he'd muck most hands even with top pair.

It's hard to put you on a hand that you would just limp with preflop but would now want to go all in with (for 3x pot) that is ahead, maybe a ropey 2 pair - but would be odd to play such a hand preflop - especially at this stage.

I'd guess you might have a flushdraw or worse queen, but it's easier to say that when my chips aren't at risk.

Pocket 4's or QT is my final answer Chris, I don't need to use a lifeline.

Did you have aces?

He can't have, there was a Queen on the river.

I better add, I'm the biggest rookie out there, never work out odds (don't really know how too) and break out in a sweat when on a final table.>:? Only been playing now for around 6 months.

  :blonde: OOOPS...I was meant to leave out TEXAS_JAY WINS 220894.70 FROM MAIN POT, but as you know I won I'll reveal my hand
                                                               4c  4s     
And I finished in 1st place ;letsparty; It was only a $3.50 MTT but picked up a nice $288.00  ;D  2nd MTT win.

So you had 44 nice boat well played , ahead all the way. ugh posted this prior to the above post - well i didnt but was writing it at the time.

Well done. Though you're lucky he had top pair great kicker, I don't think I could fold KQ there either.
