More agony. I seriously considdered folding here, as there wasn't anything logical I could beat. Perhaps to much SSH has caused me not to fold in big pots when it's argulably correct to do so.

you played it right, imo... tough luck.

Bump for more responses.

I would've gotten broke on this hand, because I would probably have gotten one or two more bets in on 5th street. You have great two-way potential at that point. You just got unlucky to catch the bricks.

I raise fourth, bet fifth, mayyyybe you can a free card on sixth. I don't know tourneys, though.

As you played it, I think sixth can be a tough fold. Your low draws are less likely to be good, now that he's caught the trey. It's probably too tough a fold for me to make.

Re: YA - S/8 Tournament hand, if your not willing to go broke?
 

I probably go broke or come damned close on this hand as well. Why are you unwilling to go broke? In order to live, you must be willing to die. I read that somewhere.

Re: YA - S/8 Tournament hand, if your not willing to go broke?
 

I raise on 4th and lead out on 5th. This makes the pot big enough on 6th to be call and then I call in spite on 7th because otherwise I don't have any chips to make anything happen anyways. 6th and 7th where just good for him and horrible for you which is a tough break. I would look into getting more money in early though. What are you worried about on 4th and 5th?

He's worried that he might pair up and then catch a banana.

You sound like a guy who's not afraid to go broke. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]
