Title: allin early in tournament Post by: jocko6666 on March 16, 2006, 06:27:07 PM About an hour into a tournament recently and doing OK. Blinds 100/50 chip stack about 8500 (started 7000).
One player raised 3 times big blind and I, with KK, reraised 1500. Other player rereraised 4500 and after guessing no AA I went allin. Other player had JJ and caught third on turn (and fourth on river, by the way). Me out of tournament. I didnt think other player's play was good. However, maybe I could have played differently as: a) I was enjoying tournament and maybe allin at that stage was not best move b) Maybe I should just have let other player take pot after 4500 raise(might have had AA anyway) That way at least I'm still in. Does anyone have any thoughts? Title: Re: allin early in tournament Post by: TightEnd on March 16, 2006, 07:26:29 PM Firstly, welcome to blonde
Secondly, why did you do anything wrong?...you got it all in pre flop as a massive favourite and got outdrawn...it doesn't matter if its 5 hands in or 500 hands in it can still happen One thing you might consider is flat calling his reraise to 4500 and then pushing on the flop....he might have a harder time calling with JJ post flop Anyway JJ overplayed it, not you and I am of the school that says never fold KK pre flop because you can never be 1005 sure your mateboy has AA Title: Re: allin early in tournament Post by: Robert HM on March 16, 2006, 07:29:57 PM Welcome!
No bad play there, you were outdrawn. You had a bad beat and it cost you all your chips and 50p in the blonde bad beat fund. |
