Wrong forum for this.

[Ray_bob]

really which one do you suggest?

[Lloyd]

If you just want to brag about a hand, that's what BBV is for. If you think you can add some strategic thought to calling off all your chips with 5th pair then please elaborate.

[Ray_bob]

the only thing strategic that i was trying to say is not to always fall in to a system. they will only take you so far.

This one. Without elaboration there's no value to having it in a strategy forum.

[rockythecat99]

This is terribly played.

[Ray_bob]

my appologies. i just get excited when im in a big money tournament and make a good move.

[Lloyd]

big money? what was the buy-in?

[Ray_bob]

5 doller rebuy
1st prize= 4705
2nd prize= 2621
3rd prize= 1792

well its a lot for me:)

[Lloyd]

Sure.

But it really looks like you wanted to donk off your chips here. That's why I said you needed to elaborate. If you can provide the thought process to explain your actions then it's a great hand. Otherwise, you just got lucky.

[Ray_bob]

well this guy went on tilt about 3 hands ago and was pushing people around for those 3-4 hands and just throwing chips. so it was not an easy call. i hate calling and never call off my chips so i thought it was great.

[John Bedtelyon]

Adding this to your OP would make it much better. I immediately thought it was a good hand as you must have read your opponent quite well.

I see everyone elses point of view though, as it looks like you're calling off your chips as opposed to knowing/thinking to a high degree of certainty that you have the best hand.

Talking about the read and your thought process could easily drop this into another holdem strategy forum.
