Please give me your thoughts:
1) 1,800 players; pays the top 130. 500 left, average is t3,000 and I have t1,800.
Blinds 50/100.
MP2 Limps, SB calls for 50. Hero has AA in the big blind and raises to 400. My thought being I need to get some action on this hand to catch up in chips but don't want to All in and scare anyone away.
Flop Q 9 3 rainbow. I bet 400 and MP calls, SB folds.
Turn 6 and I go all in, MP calls and shows QQ for the set.
Any way to avoid this early exit ?? Even all in I think he would have called with his average stack.
2) 1,400 players pays top 130. 160 left and I have just enough to cover 3 rounds of blinds.
I get 88 in MP and no one is in yet. This is the best hand I've had in an hour and I debate the all in, and eventually fold. Do you play this ??? Everyone had me covered easily so I'm sure there would have been callers and there was still at least 5 to act.
I survived and made it to top 40 for $200+.
Thanks in advance for your opinions.
