Re: Party 750k cripple-me hand
tough hand.
raising to $4,500 left you with 11xbb. Calling the min raise to $7500, leaves you with 9xbb, which is IMO a nice time to start thinking about a play for the remaining portion of your stack. Table conditions were proper for your preflop raise, and I like it. Givin BB stack of 11x and only min raising causus some concern, unless he's a dope, which in this tourney i doubt. Given how the hand played out, I think I go broke here also.
Reads would be nice to have here,,, any?
Maybe we should think about this a different way. Prior to flop you had 14x bb...which is not a bad pile. Stealing the blinds would have given you $2,250 more/or 15.5xbb... which is not incrementally/substantionally more or changing the style of poker you can play moving on. That said, I think I just let this go preflop (not raising in the first place), and wait for better cards. Manyatime, have a pissed away a nice portion of my stack by getting cute.
