Aruba WPT Sat. - KJs bustout hand

[augie00]

About the 10th hand of the tournament, blinds at 5/10. Everyone starts with 2500 in chips, I've got about 2350. Dealt KJ of clubs and limp with 4 others. BB raises to 65, all call.

Flop (260) 4 /images/graemlins/diamond.gifJ /images/graemlins/diamond.gifJ /images/graemlins/heart.gif

MP1 checks, Hero checks, 3 checks, BB bets 120, MP1 raises to 300, Hero reraise to 900...folded to MP1 who thinks for a minute, and goes all in. I don't hesitate to call. MP1 has 44 and I get no help. Comments?

I'd call it a bad beat post, but you were never ahead.

Cold deck.

You've gotta think you have a very good chance of being behind here, but in a satellite (probably close to winner take all), you're probably better off taking an early chance tripling than folding and trying to rebuild slowly, from a time/EV point of view. Cold deck.

Nothing wrong with that play. Tough break.
