Howdy, all. Long time lurker making my first contribution here.
Ultimate Bet No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t10 (9 handed) converter (http://www.selachian.com/tools/bisonconverter/hhconverter.cgi)
CO (t930)
Button (t785)
SB (t990)
BB (t2395)
UTG (t800)
Hero (t1045)
MP1 (t1410)
MP2 (t950)
MP3 (t695)
Preflop: Hero is UTG+1 with J/images/graemlins/spade.gif, J/images/graemlins/diamond.gif.
<font color="CC3333">UTG raises to t35</font>, <font color="CC3333">Hero raises to t120</font>, MP1 folds, MP2 folds, MP3 calls t120, CO folds, Button folds, SB folds, BB folds, <font color="CC3333">UTG raises to t495</font>,
So he has a legit raising hand. AK, AQ, 88-AA?
Still, I can't bring myself to release my jacks just yet. He's been aggressive already, which is why he is a little behind in chips. I don't remember even considering what MP3 might be up to.
Hero calls t375, MP3 calls t375.
Flop: (t1500) 4/images/graemlins/club.gif, 2/images/graemlins/spade.gif, 3/images/graemlins/diamond.gif <font color="blue">(3 players)</font>
<font color="CC3333">UTG bets t305 (All-In)</font>,
Since I missed the flop, my first inclination is to run away. But wait. What could he have had to start with that beats me? Only AA, KK, or QQ. He wouldn't have raised so aggressively, I hope, with hands that make a straight, a set, or two pair, would he? A5s? Argh! He's all-in and I have him covered, so if I lose, I'll have the chance to make a heroic comeback. /images/graemlins/tongue.gif
Hero calls t305, MP3 folds.
Turn: (t2110) 7/images/graemlins/club.gif <font color="blue">(2 players, 1 all-in)</font>
River: (t2110) 2/images/graemlins/diamond.gif <font color="blue">(2 players, 1 all-in)</font>
Final Pot: t2110
Is this one of those hands that comes down to luck?
Any suggestions on how to improve or test my read without just guessing?
Thanks,
