Thanks tikay,

It won't. I'll play the deep stack one day via an online sat......

yep, unlucky.

Shit happens as the saying goes

r.e preflop, bit confused...are you in the BB closing the action or are you somewhere else? If you're in the BB closing the action then I think calling is absolutely fine.

If you're somewhere else then yeah you should probably fold

Yes, I'm on the button. Which is the only reason why I entered the hand. The more I think about it though, the more I think folding was by far the best option. Maybe a call later in the tournament with more reads and info on other players, but the fact is I knew nothing 4 hands in to call with J-10 off.....
Some great analysis here guys, sure a guy that's only posted three times on this forum really appreciates the tone of some of the above posts and the constructive comments akin to those that have been going up on pleno's diary recently.

Sarcasm is the lowest form of wit Mr. Harris

Hi Guys,

Thanks for the comments. I was a bit angry with he hand when i wrote this post. But i didn't mean it as a bad beat story! I genuinely wanted to know if I did something wrong with the view of improving. I suppose a fold pre would have been the best thing. As you say, 4th hand in, no need to get fancy. Its just hard when its sooooo deep!

At the same time, I put him on a flush draw 100%, I just suppose he thought I would snap fold.

As you say.... meh. It is what it is!

[ME]

Firstly, I don't claim to be a master at poker by any stretch of the imagination! I play live at DTD a couple of times a month, and have only made a few cashes and even took a few tourneys down in my time, but that's about it!

However, as a £50 tourney is the most expensive game I've ever played, I've decided to make an effort on satelliting into the £300 deepstack. Just for the experience really....

This is the 4th hand of the tourney, and is a $120 sat with 10 deepstack seats guaranteed (played about 15 mins ago). I got to this tournament by winning tickets from $0.10, $5.50 & $27.50 tourneys beforehand, so had really 'built my way up' to this tourney.

As I say, 4th hand so no read on any players. Did i completely balls this up and dig my own grave? Did I play it correctly? What would you have done here?
