Hi, I've been hanging around at the 2+2 forums for some time now and this is my first post.
This is still very early in a PP 20 dollar MTT:
Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t15 (10 handed)
Button (t420)
SB (t955)
Hero (t975)
UTG (t1475)
UTG+1 <font color="purple">(Villain)</font> (t800)
UTG+2 (t935)
MP1 (t1510)
MP2 (t900)
MP3 (t1135)
CO (t895)
Preflop: Hero is BB with 9/images/graemlins/heart.gif, A/images/graemlins/diamond.gif.
UTG folds, UTG+1 <font color="purple">(Villain)</font> calls t15, UTG+2 calls t15, MP1 calls t15, MP2 calls t15, MP3 folds, CO folds, Button folds, SB completes, Hero checks.
Flop: (t90) A/images/graemlins/club.gif, 8/images/graemlins/club.gif, A/images/graemlins/heart.gif <font color="blue">(6 players)</font>
SB checks, Hero checks, <font color="CC3333">Villain bets t15</font>, UTG+2 folds, MP1 calls t15, MP2 calls t15, SB folds, Hero calls t15.
The reason I checked the flop was because I was first to act, and because so many players limped, I could have been easily outkicked. But I think my first mistake was not check raise when it came back to me with a min-bet.
Turn: (t150) 7/images/graemlins/club.gif <font color="blue">(4 players)</font>
Hero checks, <font color="CC3333">Villain bets t15</font>, MP1 folds, MP2 calls t15, <font color="CC3333">Hero raises to t90</font>, Villain calls t75, MP2 folds.
I'm not sure why I check-raised on the 3rd club.
River: (t345) K/images/graemlins/club.gif <font color="blue">(2 players)</font>
<font color="CC3333">Hero bets t150</font>, <font color="CC3333">Villain raises to t680 (All-In)</font>, Hero folds.
Final Pot: t1175
Worst card in the deck fell for me but I felt I had to bet to force a small flush to fold.
Any comments on how I should have played the hand would be appreciated.
