Re: Was This A Good or Bad Gigabet-Wannabe Play?

Honest attempt at constructive criticism alert:
I think that the problem with making this play is that you are not making any play at all. You are instead calling two all in bets. Calling an all in bet is not a 'play'. Calling all in bets is something that you do when you know that you have the best hand which, let's face it you knew wasn't the case here. What happened is that you got deep into the tourney, felt that you were a great player and remembered a play you saw another great player call a pflop raise with something like 34 suited or 64 suited, hit the flop hard and double up. That sort of a call is a very good advanced play that is viable for one reason. Implied odds. Once your other two opponents are all in in front of you, there is nothing implied with this hand other than you're not real bright to make a call without one of the top 10 or so hands. In order for this to ever be a profitable call over the long term, one of these players needs to have a huge stack behind him, that way when the flop comes A, 2, 5 and your big stacked opponent hits his A and you flop the wheel, you can almost certainly double up with a solid post flop betting strategy.
