Default Re: Harrington On Hold Em Hand 4-1

Thanks for reminding me to re-read HOH again. I washed out of a big tourney yesterday with AK. BB called my preflop bet, everyone else folded. Flop comes something and two 7s (no A or K). He checked, I bet the pot, he calls. I figured he had a low/mid pair and put me on over cards. Turn comes Ace. He says all-in. I put him on A-something. Dummy-me can't get away from TPTK. I call. He shows 75o. Went home way early, having been played like a fiddle. So, in summary, yes, the implied odds are the key.

Lesson for me - don't go calling all-ins early in tourney with only TPTK. And work on my hand reading.
