Hello all,
Hoping this one gets some love /images/graemlins/heart.gif between all the "official Tourney" threads.
Live Tourney, 100+20 Buy-in. 26-30 Tables. Start off with T1000 in chips.
I don't play too many live tournies, so I was pretty pumped for this one and very focused too.
Just picked up my first pot (~T300) w/AA. T1200 chips now.
Two hands later...
Hero in BB with Q8o. Blinds 15-25.
3 players limp, sb completes and I check.
Flop: K /images/graemlins/diamond.gif Q /images/graemlins/spade.gif 8 /images/graemlins/heart.gif Pot = T125
sb checks, hero bets T125, MP1 calls , everyone else folds. Heads up to the turn.
Turn; T /images/graemlins/spade.gif Pot = T375
Hero bets T300, MP1 Calls
River: J
Check, check.
My only question here is to check raise the flop, or bet out like I did?? Any other comments welcome.
Result:
<font color="white">MP1 hand KJ for river 2pair </font>
Very next hand.....left with ~T650
Hero is in the sb with AKo
Folded to MP who limps, CO (short stacked w/ T250) raises to 125, button folds.
His raise could mean many things, nothing premium. He had been a tad out of line since getting unlucky on the second hand of game. He is pot committed.
BB has me covered x2.5, but is tight older gent, though seemingly decent.
I suspected MP would call CO's raise.
Your move here? Call and play the hand out of position? Raise seems right, but would also seem to commit me, so should I just go all-in?
Thanks-
Jarid
