$6 rebuy Boat on river - Your line?
 

Hi all,

This is a hand that I would like some feedback on if possible. This is my first hand at the table, no real reads yet.

Preflop: I limped for set value, obviously. I think the position was a bit early for a limp, but so far the tourney in general has'nt been too aggressive.

Flop: I just called the bet in hopes of getting overcalls or a raiser behind me.

Turn: I chose this time to raise.

River: Ace. I do not want to play this weak tight. Obviously the most likely holding of villian is AK-Axs. I called the bet on the river instead of raising in case he boated. Is this too weak tight?



Comments on all streets appreciated.

Thanks a ton!

... uses the hand converter?

No, seriously, I repop it to either 3000, 4500, or push.

doubles up most of the time.

Re: $6 rebuy Boat on river - Your line?
 

You can't put him specifically on AT without a ridiculous read; if he boated he boated. You should probably be pushing here. Your position is fine for a limp. I make this limp 90% of the time under these conditions; the hijack is only 2 seats from the button remember so you have good position.

EDIT: he could have A3 also but theres not much way to tell. I double up or lose it all on this hand, you only have so much time to accumulate chips. Anyone with an ace is giving you all their money here.

Re: $6 rebuy Boat on river - Your line?
 

If he has a higher boat, then congrats to him. I'm pushing here everytime.

Re: $6 rebuy Boat on river - Your line?
 

Awesome, thanks guys. I'll start pushing this when I have this situation again. I think he would have called. Villian had AJ [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img].

I made it to the final table in this tourney!! WOoo hooo. Still playing it though.

Re: $6 rebuy Boat on river - Your line?
 

Why did you not raise the flop? There is an ace on board. Try to win big pots with big hands. In a $6 tournament there is basically 0 chance you don't stack this guy if you play this hand fast.

Re: $6 rebuy Boat on river - Your line?
 

I guess because I thought AT A3 etc would have me knocked out. I wasn't trying to play scared, but there was a lot of game left to apply more edges. I think this is one of the reasons I have been making a good amount of final tables. Getting my money in, but avoiding traps as well.

Perhaps I have the wrong idea. I shouldn't fear the boat and just get my money in.

Do I sound totally bass ackwards?

Thanks,
PN

Re: $6 rebuy Boat on river - Your line?
 

I have made my peace that I will go broke in the following situations (with a few exceptions on rediculous boards, ala T987 monotone):

-KK all-in pre-flop.
-AA on an unpaired flop.
-Any time I flop a set.

I hadn't thought I'd need to add "When I have a full house" to this list, but yeah, shove here. You're behind exactly two hand (AA and AT), and people are far more curious than is good for them.

Re: $6 rebuy Boat on river - Your line?
 

Laugh. I just had this hand almost street for street again. This time I pushed the turn when I hit boat, and AT called, they had AT. So ironic. I'll keep pushing the boats though!

Peace,
PN
