wot do u think is the correct play?

[Sunday8pm]

thanks for ur responses guys. i did infact shove this hand. the CL took his whole time bank before calling wiv  . his jacks held and i was absolutely gutted to go out 9th.

afterwards there were a few points me and my friends discussed.

- my shove screams AK. UpTheMariners actually phoned me to say  "u have AK dont u". the CL is probably fairly certain he is racing. with 3 other callers in the pot, it is very possible some of my outs are already gone, and he is willing to take this gamble in order to be in an extremely strong position to win the tournament.

- because of this, maybe a raise to 40-55k and then shove any flop makes my hand look stronger and makes it look more like i have KK or AA. i have 2 chances to win this hand. i either take it down preflop, or give him a very tough decision on the flop (which came queen high).

any views on this??

i dont think i made the wrong decision in shoving, as half the time i win. maybe this is just another approach i could take in the future

It doesn't matter if your hand is face up here. A big pot has already been manufactured. Its like saying your worried you are playing quads face up when the pot is already £10,000 with 100-200 blinds.

Shove shove shove. Poor call from jacks as i possibly shove with QQ KK and AA. or 10 10

Evil, dont take what Flushy says as a knock, he can appear a bit obnoxious but he's a nice fella. Your posts obviously show a lack of good strategic grounding, but hang around and the great RoyalFlush might let you in on the goodies.

I'm sure he is. Don't worry I don't take anything to heart when it's posted on a forum.

Yeah my strategy's not quite perfect yet. I've only been playing for about 5 months so I tend to play the tight patient game rather than get too creative. I keep putting the odd move in here and there though and it's getting better.

When I make a suggestion here it doesn't necessarily mean it's what I would do it's just an option that I'm interested to hear people's opinion of. I'm really not that bad...... honest

Anyway Mr Flush. Do you ever get your great self down to DTD? I'm there every Friday and the odd Sunday so let me know and we can have a beer before the tournament.

Cheers

PS. Sorry for the minor thread jack

Only been once for the opening £500, might sneak up soon though for a 3-2-1 thingy
