Knocked out in 10 place--should I have folded JJ?
I'm an inexperienced tourney player who would appreciate comments and constructive criticism from more experienced players about how I screwed up on this hand. I went out in 10th place in the Stars $10 MTT early this morning on this hand; but just minutes earlier I had plans of coasting into the final six before taking any big chances---unless a premium hand came along that is.

Re: Knocked out in 10 place--should I have folded JJ?
why do you think you screwed up? Because you didn't win?
In poker you can do the right thing and still lose. |

I was expecting to say yes, since in the early rounds of a SNG you can often avoid putting in all your chips with JJ.
But this is a MTT where you have 12BBs in your stack and are at a 5-handed table. Folding JJ here would be criminal. |

The MTT forum might be a better place for this.
