Just got to vent a little.
Busted out 7th in the 2nd table of the 7:00 double shoot out w/ QQ.
Blinds 50-100, I pop it to 300 from co-1 w/ T1100 left behind.
CO raises to 700. (CO was capable of having any pair or any two high cards and was chip leader)

He ended up w/ AA and toasted me. What eats me up is how bad I played it. I tried stop and go w/ QQ when a K hit the board.

What a dumb ars.

I thought if I laid it down b4 flop, would be to weak.
If I call, also weak. So figured stop and go no matter what.
Definitely would feel better about myself if I pushed b4 flop even though I was doomed.


Well playing in supersat right now for Aruba WPT seat at UB.
Phil Hellmuth is in and Pete Giordano (The Beat is two to my right.)
3 packages going down tonight.

I think you played it fine. After he reraised to 700, you definitely could not have folded QQ, and pushing all-in does not accomplish anything. By doing the stop and go you at least gave yourself a chance of making him lay down a better hand. For all you know he could fold KK on a flop with an A. Even the slightest probability of this happening makes it worthwhile. The whole point of the stop and go is that you push the flop no matter what because you are PCed anyway. There is no way you could lay down QQ on any board when you are left with 400 and getting 4.5:1 odds.
