[Allinlife]

table 50, see ya'll at the final table.

[Kevin123]

A VERY short night as my Queens get all-in preflop against aces. After raising him allin, he takes about 10-15 seconds to think about it before calling. Guess it was a real tough decision.

[TomCollins]

Why risk it that early in a tournament when you are a coinflip? If you are a better player you may want to wait for bigger advantages.

[jgunnip]

Even if he calls preflop, unless an ace or a king fall on the flop I think he'd have a very hard time getting away from his hand.

[Che]

Table 3, LuckyBadPlyr

It would be nice if everyone that posts an "I'm in" would include their SN if different from their 2+2 nick. Just a thought...

Later,
Che

I guess I'm not good enough to fold queens preflop...especially early. See way too many people putting in big raises and calling allins with MUCH less in the first hour. I'm down to two hands, a coinflip with one. Also, I really didn't put the guy on aces the way he played it. Does any rational person put in a raise like that with aces? Obviously it worked, but I think I only reraise this with 3 hands and he was fortunate enough for me to have one of them.

Don't mean to sound sarcastic with that "I guess I'm not good enough to fold queens" line. I'm mainly a SNG player still working on my MTT game. I really don't think I have enough of an edge later to give up these kinds of hands early.

[ChrisCo]

I'm at table 23 under the name Wrxtasy_03.

No notable hands yet. Just been blinded down to about 850.

[billyjex]

kevin, for what it's worth, i play it the same. the donks in these tournaments make that raise w/ much less than AA or KK.

anyways, i'm already up to 4400, AA and KK have been very good to me.

[Che]

Folding QQ in this situation is very, very bad IMHO.

Later,
Che

[LesJ]

Out 544 and kinda sick now as I went out when I made a set of 9s on the flop. Saw a straight possibility and maybe should have laid the hand down when the villian went all in.
JJ . .should I have laid that down?
Les

[TomCollins]

First break at 1132. Had 2800, but decided to semi-bluff my flush draw overcards and got instacalled by aces.

In first in the $10 rebuy on party though.

[billyjex]

woot.. 5170 at the break.

I have a hard time laying down a set...want to post the hand?

[TomCollins]

I'm gone. Apparently A3 is a good hand to call 1/3 of your chips, and call the rest when an ace hits, and then suck out a 3 on the turn.

[LesJ]

Here's the ugliness. Please give me some feedback.

No way you can get away from that. Raise preflop though. Raise to 300 on the flop.

[billyjex]

folding there would be insane.

[LesJ]

<<No way you can get away from that. Raise preflop though. Raise to 300 on the flop. >>

Sadly enough, my 12 yr old son also suggested I should have raised pre-flop. Also sad to say this, but I believe the novelty of the pocket 9s might have distracted me at first from raising. I was too busy laughing at "9 9" since we had a doofus at the table betting 99 every hand.
Take em down tonight. Since I got whooped so early I decided to take one last ditch at qualifying for the WSOP. Wish me luck in that endevour.
Les

[Kevin123]

I'm going to go along with the party line. A raise preflop saves that hand. However, I'm often guilty of playing middle pairs the same way in that situation...set or fold. Once I hit my set I'm not getting out of the way very often unless there is a 1 card straight or 1 card flush on the board.

One thing though is that since there was no raising preflop, I think you've got to put him on two pair, or on at least a strong draw. I still call the allin, but its not a happy call.

[billyjex]

ugh... just took a rough beat. lost a 9.5k pot after flopping a set vs. AA -- he backdoored a flush. i'm in pain and down to 300 chips.

[TheTimeIsUp]

1120. Sadly, never a factor.

[macdafunk]

5230 at 2nd break, tbl 22, mm102480

[billyjex]

and out. how utterly dissapointing.

[TheTimeIsUp]

AJs vs TT. Can't get lucky. Would have put me at average.

[Degen]

out, AA vs TT within the first hour

at least it was quick and relatively painless

[LesJ]

Pocket queens lost to pocket aces in the WSOP tourney tonight. Tough MTT streak for me. Kinda frustrated.
Good Luck rest of night,
Les
