comments?

[Exitonly]

maybe raise more PF.. but you just got outdrawn.. dont be results oriented.

[Superfluous Man]

You were a coinflip to triple up and you lost. Oh well.

[snowbank]

Is anyone doing anything differently pre-flop?

[betgo]

Since you got 3 callers, you could probably raise more preflop. You got total fish to call 20xBB with ATo, KJo, and God knows what else.

That's a terrible flop for you, but there is so much in the pot that you have to push and hope your aces hold up. You were actually way ahead on the flop.

Fold preflop.

Or...
Raise more.

I agree. You got a perfect situation for
All-In preflop. The pot is already Big enough
and you defently want to se the flop heads up.

ayrolls: shows [Jd Kc]
aps24: shows [Th Ah]

these hands "should" have folded to your all-in PreFlop

Go agreesive for the "small" pots and back off to resistence


or else with this Flop with so man callers to
your PfR I would ask mayself what they would have called me with?
you´re at least "80%" up against two-par, a straight or trips all ready,
and I would have checked then (Folded)/Released (better word for your mind [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] to "any" Bet.
This is the only time you can win THIS tournament and you have a lot of chips left. Let them fight for the pot and get out and move to next good hand.

God, you really see some terrible all-in calls in the first orbit of a Poker Stars tourney, don't you? What's with that?

I probably would have raised a good deal more, like bump it up to 750 total, trying to get heads-up. Pushing all-in is okay too, but you might get a fat 0 callers.

But that's just my preference. I think you played the hand correctly and the fish sucked out. C'est la vie.
