Re: Any way to avoid busting out in this situation?
Mack
in the senario 2 things caught my attention.
First you were at loose table, and second the turn was Q [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]. If i were in your situation i would have folded on the re-raise, and here is why. The table being loose, the odds are someone is playing connectors. In the senario the turn was Q giving the J-10 a str8. Yes your trips looked good but there was 4 hands that could beat you. Pocket 8's, 9's, Q's and the str8. Sometimes it is better to fold and to pick a better spot to put all your money in. Was this a live tourney or online?. If it was live what kind of "tells" was opponent giving that you might have missed.
may your Ace's never get cracked.
