I’d folded to a couple of the villains PF re-raises. When he came over the top again, I saw red and PUSHED (but I have no brains).

11’s…Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t300 (3 handed) converter (http://www.selachian.com/tools/bisonconverter/hhconverter.cgi)

Hero (t3180)
BB (t3100)
Button (t1720)

Preflop: Hero is SB with 9/images/graemlins/diamond.gif, 8/images/graemlins/diamond.gif.
<font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to t600</font>, <font color="#CC3333">BB raises to t900</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to t3180 (All-In)</font>, BB calls t2200 (All-In).

Flop: (t6280) 5/images/graemlins/spade.gif, A/images/graemlins/club.gif, Q/images/graemlins/spade.gif <font color="#0000FF">(2 players, 2 all-in)</font>

River: (t6280) 5/images/graemlins/diamond.gif <font color="#0000FF">(2 players, 2 all-in)</font>

Final Pot: t6280

Results in white below: <font color="#FFFFFF">
Hero has 9d 8d (one pair, fives).
BB has Ad 7s (two pair, aces and fives).
Outcome: BB wins t6200. Hero wins t80. </font>


In retrospect, which of the following three lines would have been more appropriate?

1) Push it in the first place.
2) Call the re-raise and fold to the flopped A &amp; Q overs.
3) Well positioned, fold (again) and wait for a better spot.
