if you feel like derogatory comments towards me fine :

: o P doesn't bother me : O P

if he's will ing to raise 4 x the BB pre flop,

is he stealing or hoping to be called or reraised and he still calls.

chances are he raised looking for a nice flop he gets it so,

hes prepared to go allin so do it.

totally on subject Grrr...

well,

if your bankroll management skills let you down and your heart said play it,
then id say you have a good hand chances are your going to get called.

if there is lower stack players then yes wait for it.

if you are the lowest stack player theyre assuming your going to push with any two cards so you have more chances to double up by playing your good hands and folding teh bad.

if you get unlucky - thats poker

take it on the chin.

chances are you double up and are in better shape. and they'll be more wary and you could steal more around the bubble.
i'd rather bubble with a good hand than be blinded out with a bad hand.

blinds 400/800

utg limps in (16k)
mp limps (25k)
sb completes (2.9k)
you in bb (7.9k)


all chips at start of hand before posting

flop comes 235 rainbow
sb moves in

you have q4o

do you call/push/fold ?

nope two others to act you fold as you also have nothing

standard fold

chances are he has a good hand with 4 cards two prs on teh flop is not uncommon.

so K 8 4

facing maybe K4 or K8
he pots on river 8
he ahs either FH or trips you have 1 pr A hi.

come on: easy fold.

umm you won the hand

so you lost nothing and gained a healthy amount

yes you could of raised on all teh way, but chances are you raise he just calls you down anyway.

so allin all don't sweat it. you won

best play,
you played it right got unlucky
if someones will to risk all that cash on a flush draw fine but you have trip K's no ace on the board.
only scary cards are the hearts.

You push- he has to make the decision pressure is on him to hit not you sit back relax

cry on the river.

at the end of teh day its a 50:50 whether anyone calls you, chances are this guy has teh bankroll to play for fun, so he has nothing to lose and all to gain.

yes its a bad beat but it does happen. don't cry over it just be assured you made the right play and got unlucky thats all

you raised initially hoping for either a reraise so taht you could callit

7 4 2 rainbow doesn't scare you.

you push of course and pray he doesn't have a higher pr.

chances are he called a just to see teh flop

yes so he may have hit 2 pr
chances are he's holding a 7 with an overcard
like a A

but its risk it or not.

he may have premium hands as outlined above but if you were prepared to go allin pre-flop why not now with a non-scary board.

simple answer fold.

you have nothing
chances are he has a higher PR your drawing, to an a or a 5

you have 1 overcard.

if you call your dbling him up or risk going out by one of the bigger stacks calling you both.

give him teh 800, tahts not even a 1/4 of your stack.

find a better position and patience.

chances are he gets knocked out giving you better odds of cashing or laddering.

personally no harm in raising pre flop

the scary thing you shouldve noticed he called

on the flop yes you have the flush draw so you raise - thats ok
he re-raises - SCARY
at this stage of teh tourney and after these events
personally your on a draw v either two pr or AK AQ AJ
youve been reraised allin.

my guess would be fold lick your wounds and say he had the best hand walk away.
or gamble - you lost take it as a man and walk away

if you were willing to go allin preflop then don't sweat it you ran into a hand that wouldve called you anyway.

Call you win you take two players out and doing very well

chip stack is not unheard of - check the open every day on sky lol

youve not got a premium hand as such, but chances are your either playing 1 or 2 premium hands, or ace rags at this point.

depends what cards teh players ahve been playing b4 and how many folds theyve made at this table.

but being me, your priced in
and yor odds are quite good
if your u[p against AA and QQ your looking good with 2 live cards
scary cards are AK KK AA and KQ

every other possible pairing is around 50:50

so 4 hands your scared of out of the many possible hands

mind you any a  A RAG is a scare but not very scary.

so i'd call
