LL Turbo NL 18: QJs
Well, for what it's worth, I'm just starting to play these tournaments, and I've started with a $50 bankroll. My plan is to start with the $1.50+.25 18-player tournaments and work my way up. Here's a situation where I think I played terribly, and I would like some insight in how I should've played it.
PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t100 (8 handed) converter CO (t1315) <font color="#C00000">Button (t3390)</font> SB (t780) <font color="#C00000">BB (t725)</font> <font color="#C00000">Hero (t2045)</font> UTG+1 (t345) MP1 (t2275) MP2 (t2625) Preflop: Hero is UTG with Q[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], J[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]. Hero calls t100, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, MP1 calls t100, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, CO calls t100, Button calls t100, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, BB checks. I don't like raising before the flop with this hand. The table has been pretty loose however, so I decided to limp in. Flop: (t550) J[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 3[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 9[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(5 players)</font> <font color="#CC3333">BB bets t100</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to t500</font>, MP1 folds, CO folds, Button calls t500, <font color="#CC3333">BB raises to t625 (All-in)</font>, Hero calls t125, Button calls t125. I make a pot-sized raise or so after the big-blind bets with my top-pair. My read on the BB was that he was pretty weak. I have in the past bullied him off a hand he bet before. My read on the button is that he's the chip leader by making value bets. I've never seen him call a pot-sized bet before this, however. Turn: (t2425) K[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font> <font color="#CC3333">Hero bets t1320 (All-In)</font>, Button calls t1320. I push with my top-pair, and I get called. Was this the best play here? River: (t5065) 6[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(3 players, 2 all-in)</font> Final Pot: t5065 |

Re: LL Turbo NL 18: QJs
True enough. So, I push with my middle pair, 3rd best kicker, when I should've check/folded?

Re: LL Turbo NL 18: QJs
I dont love the open limp UTG preflop, I dont love the reraise post flop, and I dont like the push after you had someone push all in and someone call you. They clearly have something.

I fold this preflop.
