Bellagio 1500 NL, fold preflop?

2005 · #1 04-05-2005, 04:06 PM

So, I busted out of the 1500 NL at Bellagio in about 7 hands because of this:

I start this hand with 2400 chips, blinds 25/50, villain has me well covered. from MP, he makes it 400, I have J [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]J [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] and I?

what position are you?

you didn't go all in with JJ the 7th hand, did ya?

I'm guessing you called, saw a flop with no overs, repopped his bet all in, and got burned by an overpair.

I'll be there next week in Vegas, it'd be cool to meet and get an autograph from ya right next to Phil Hellmuth's table - [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

but I won't be playing Bellagio tourneys....don't got the scratch...

I hate big open raisers. I think I call, its hard for me to believe any hand you are really ahead of calls a push.

By the way, my condolences on Reno, it made me want to throw up reading about it.

Thanks regarding Reno, it wasn't quite as bad as it seemed... I had 70k at the 300/600-75 leveland lost a coin flip for like 11k and then the guy who beat me in the coin flip got the rest of the chips next couple hands.

As for this hand... pushing never crossed my mind as a viable option.

are they sticking the tables for the 5 star poker classic in/around the poker room or they in a seperate area from the ring games - just in case I wanna play there but skip the mob scene that comes with tourneys...

The poker room is being renovated, so the tournament is in the poker area outside the old poker room and the Fontana Bar.

right....knew that from Feb.

Just wasn't sure if maybe the tournament tables were seperate from the ring game tables.

well, you can't raise and fold to a push. So, unless you think the guy is a half crazed nut who will push you in with a wide variety of hands if you make a small raise then how do you have an option besides calling.

Unless you're talking about folding, but that seems pretty gross to me.
