Out at 4th with QQ, Pokerstars

OK, I know I shouldn't complain....There were after all, 800+ entrants. But I think I made a fatal error that took me out. Should I have rasied all in with my QQ, to get him off the K,Q? I think I should have. And that terrible mistake cost me! Advice.

I don't know, but I would love to go allin with QQ vs KQ. Of course you could have pushed allin preflop without winning anything, but are you happy with the blinds + antes with a hand like QQ?

Just bad luck this time IMO.

Nothing wrong with your play, but next time (and advice to other posters as well) you're posting the cut-and-paste from an online game, please edit out the irrelevant stuff. In this case, I don't think we need to clutter up your post with all the observer comments.


Thanks, Greg Raymer (FossilMan)

do not see any error. I might have played same, but probably would have moved in. opponents unlikely to call without an A or K of some kind, thus when called, you had a chance to lose.


but, congrats on your finishing so high in such a large field---think I was 136 so you sure did better than me!

The pot has 150k. Why would you want to bet 13x the pot? The only hands that will call you would be AA and maybe KK unless these players are crazy. Now the fact that KQ raised your bet all-in sounds like they are crazy. I would have seriously thought of folding QQ to that monster raise. There is only one player who could bust you and that was the one that raised.


Of course it was a bad beeeeeeet.
