APAT Exit Hand

[sharky_uk]

Down to 3 tables in the Dublin APAT and I have 60k chips which is above average.

The blinds are 1.5k/3k

I get AQ offsuit in mid position and raise to 10k.

All fold to the BB (recent addition to the table) who makes the call for another 7k.

Flop AJ rag

The BB bets 15k.

I am pretty sure that I am ahead and raise to 30k.

The BB calls.

Turn rag.

The BB pushes and has me covered.

I call for my remaining 20k.

He turns over TK and hits one of the remaining Queens on the river to make his straight and knock me out.

Should I have played this any differently?

Just a suck out. Happens. Unlucky though, got your chips in well ahead!

[TightEnd]

Unlucky Mark, this was LeKnave against you huh?

don't think you did anything wrong. Hindsight allowing, raise all in on the flop when you are sure you are ahead, don't give him the chance to hit..

[boldie]

I reckon you played it well...strange play by our young friend Leknave but what can you do?

edit..turns out it wasn't the flukey boyband member afterall...

It wasn't LeKnave. It was some other LuckBox 

I've thought maybe I should have pushed on the flop but I'm not sure the outcome would have been any different!

[SnipeR]

That is a shocker mate, i would have pushed all in soon as the flop hit, but what a luckbox.....it grates,but the donks  keep your pockets full,so keep smiling.....

If he missed his gutshot, do u post ur hand?

[GlasgowBandit]

Its strange to push with the gut shot. 

At this stage of the tourney if he has an above Irish stack then surely he should be consolidating and picking off better opportunities. 

What does he gain if he gets called and misses? 

Seems like a very strange play to me.

Is that like an oh good Le Knave isn't that bad a player - relief post ;-)

[TightEnd]

Sort of!


LekNave has just hit the final along with Lazza and SirEricStoner

ul,

yet hardly earth-shatteringly  bad considering it was amongst a bunch of amateurs, no??

[MANTIS01]

You are playing for a pot of 120,000

You have A-Q on a A-J-X-X board

All the chips are in the middle.

Your opponent has K-10.

There is one card to come....



....is it possible to play this hand any better?

[sharky_uk]

If he missed his gutshot, do u post ur hand?

Probably not, but it makes me feel better
