A lesson in why you should not go against a big stack
From PS 180 (I placed 9th yesterday). This hand did not involve me, but involved two big stacks middle of tourney (I think both were top 7 or so at the time among chip leaders).
My view is that as a big stack, I'd rather attack small stacks - but others can disagree of course. PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t800 (9 handed) converter MP3 (t8489) CO (t18543) Button (t16179) SB (t16919) BB (t7741) Hero (t8510) UTG+1 (t18355) MP1 (t22739) MP2 (t16710) Preflop: Hero is UTG with T[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 9[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]. <font color="#666666">5 folds</font>, <font color="#CC3333">CO raises to t3200</font>, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, SB calls t2800, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>. Flop: (t6400) 8[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 6[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 5[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font> <font color="#CC3333">SB bets t3200</font>, <font color="#CC3333">CO raises to t6400</font>, SB calls t3200. Turn: (t19200) J[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font> SB checks, <font color="#CC3333">CO bets t8893 (All-In)</font>, SB calls t7269 (All-In). River: (t35362) T[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players, 2 all-in)</font> Final Pot: t35362 Results in white below: <font color="#FFFFFF"> SB has Th Tc (three of a kind, tens). CO has 7c 4c (straight, eight high). Outcome: CO wins t35362. </font> |

The lesson here is muck your pocket tens on the turn!

Is the lesson, "Don't build a monster stack by doubling your already large stack."?

I think re-raising T's in the SB against a raise from the late position big stack would be better than not getting involved.

Absolutely. I'm not suggesting you don't involved but if you had played out the hand like this, then you've got to fold the river. I can only imagine that the SB has put the CO on an open-ended str8 draw but it's lunacy to call the all in on the turn, especially with an mertely an overpair and no outs. Great play by the CO though. |

This is a lesson in just how horrible people are in online tournaments.
