Yes. Jamming was the best option, followed by folding.

Calling was the worst move, but that's what I did. Then I folded when they both jammed.

UTG had 10s, seat 6 had . Queens would have stood up.


Gotta be honest those little reraises confuse the hell out of me, I'm not usually folding queens that short anyway so I'd just stick it in. Sometimes you get it right, other times not, meh.......

As the consensus seems to be jam or fold do you think it would have been different if you had been say 8 tabling a load of multi's like some of the guys do?

Is the mindset in that situation that you are more likely to jam or gamble a little more with the hope that you are going to get it right and run up a stack on some tables and accept that you will bust on others?

If the opposite is the case and this is the one tournament you are going to play that day do you think it makes it harder to jam in that spot, if it is a flip between jamming or folding?

That might be a bit of a ramble but I have actually got the builders in so its a bit of a rush.

Think Pleno summed it up best. With your stack size I'm very rarely folding Queens or Jacks in this spot unless I have a solid read that the min raise is aces (ie notes on opponent)

My thinking.

I didn't like the early position opening bet.

I was worried about the min raise from the LAG.

This is my most expensive buy in of the week. It's great value, lots of the players have got in on a satellite and therefore it's plays quite soft, especially in the earlier stages.  I thought if I pushed in that spot I would get at least one caller and there was a good chance that I would either be crushed or racing.

There is loads of play in this comp, and I like to see flops with these players. I don't want to give my what I see as my edge away cheaply.

That being said, you guys were right, calling was the worst option. I should have pushed or folded.

No I didn't Phil.

I got it in good when I turned the nut flush v a set of 4s but the board paired on the end.

Bugger, I was hoping for a cash. Is that a comp on Laddies?

so you're set mining? If this is your thinking then the conservative option is to fold and it wouldn't be terrible.
