Gutted - need to vent, sorry!

I'd be ranting too with 2  in the deck!

Obviously unlucky, but with the stacks the way they were the re-raises were always going to be called - far too much in the pot for any of you to fold.

Original raise can surely only be a steal by the CL and by the time you push in the SS has got great value for live cards, CL then has to call with those odds (roughly 60k in already, and an extra 16k for her to call)

You did nothing wrong.

I was gutted for you girl and I could tell by your face how sick to the stomach you were when you went out.

Look to the positive.... you went in with the best hand at a crucial point, you could have trebled up and had a hefty stack to take to the final table. The poker fairy was not on your side this time but you played a brilliant game the whole tourney (even I donated) and just got unlucky.

A free entry gives you another go and I have learnt my lesson.......respest the reraise by the mighty Claw (she took me out as you might have guessed)

Was wondering what happened to you Claire...ugh...gutted for you.  Have no doubt you'll pull it off next time though.  Is it just me, or did that comp seem to FLY?  Couldn't believe how fast everyone was getting knocked out. 

Was a pleasure to meet everyone.  Next stop...Newcastle.   

has it not crossed anybodies mind that the fact it finished quickly was because people were calling allins with monsters like K6 and 89. I think you should probably stick to gala (you can even play online now ladies I believe) and leave the poker to the men.

Maybe I'm wrong and it was over quickly because there was ironing and cleaning and stuff to be done

maybe we should move it to the board, but does anyone else not really like any of the play here ?

Irrespective of the other players holdings - I have AK - one player has acted in strength and bet, I have two players to act behind me.

Going all-in here can never be a long term +EV move. I cant really find a strong argument for putting all my chips into already raised multiway pot with nothing more than a big drawing hand.

someone could do the maths, I'm not gonna can't cos I'm too thick but I'm pretty sure that you're wrong. Less than 7 BBs, one raiser, I'm insta all in.

cut off is stacked up and has raised with blinds invitingly large and worth stealing.

LP raise from a big stack in this situation means AK is v well ahead of his range unless he/she is exceptionally tight. Throw in the fact claire is shortstacked and that she can generate a very small amount of fold equity and this is, to use a flushy-ism, an insta-push.

I don't think neither claire or pffa made a bad play, what about k6 woman? do you call here with K6s after claire pushed and you have pffa to act after you?

no K6 woman's play isn't actually very good (I'm being nice)..

Well, no need to be cruel to the little lady who played the K6 hand..she's only a girl and can't be held responisble for her play as women lack any sense of the logic that is required to play poker properly
