Here fishy fishy
I have been playing on the 10+1 for 3 weeks and I have been getting beat on the bubble. So I am going to be posting some hands that are typical of my losses and I am hoping you fisherman can help me get into the boat, i am sick of being a fish. Thanks in advance.
Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t200 (3 handed) SB (t5518) Hero (t1655) Button (t827) Hero is BB with 7[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]. Button fold SB completes, Hero checks. K[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], K[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] SB checks, Hero bets t1455 (All-In)</font>, SB calls t1455. Turn J[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] River 8[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] Results in white below: SB has 7s Ts (flush, ace high). Hero has 7h Ad (two pair, aces and kings). Outcome: SB wins t3310. |

Re: Here fishy fishy
some tough luck there. However, Id raise more pre-flop if you are going to play this hand at all. Perhaps pushing is the correct move? I dont think he calls a push with T7 sooted

Re: Here fishy fishy
So if I push preflop, is my goal for him to drop? I figuired i wanted a showdown with my hand 2 player, am I wrong?

It is better than average (obviously) but not a hand you want to see a showdown with. If you thought you could take the 200 chips uncontested, definately do it. BTW, I'm all-in on the flop here too. |

[/ QUOTE ] took the words right out of my mouth, youre hand is very unlikely to win unimproved so you would much rather take it down now. Besides maybe playing too many hands early not playing aggressive enough on the bubble is the biggest mistake beginners make. |

Re: Here fishy fishy
That's an easy push.

Re: Here fishy fishy
There is nothing much wrong with your play here. Raise pre-flop.

Re: Here fishy fishy
what is the purpose of the preflop raise? to get more chips, to get him to drop? I figuired I had the odds in my favor so I tried to lead him in, is that a mistake?

Re: Here fishy fishy
At this level, I'd probably have pushed with Ax preflop _IF_ I had even decided to get involved at all. The button is in a bad spot here. I'd be more inclined to let the big stack tear him up.....
IMO your mistake was letting him see the 2 flush on the flop. At that point, he had about a 35% chance to catch and knock you out, and took it. |

Re: Here fishy fishy
Push Preflop, but more importantly, don't let a spade hit on the river next time. Tough skill to learn but it just takes practice.
