My New Record

ipp147 · #1 07-07-2004, 03:22 PM

Busted out of a Pokerstars 10+1 in 3 hands and last place. My first last place and obviously my quickest exit.

Heres the hand that got me in trouble, my question.

At this level if I bet out the pot here and he reraises. I reraise back all in right? I have no read on this player.

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t20 (9 handed)

CO (t1480)
Button (t1490)
SB (t1690)
BB (t1500)
UTG (t1500)
Hero (t1500)
MP1 (t1500)
MP2 (t1420)
MP3 (t1420)

Preflop: Hero is UTG+1 with K[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], K[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img].
1 fold, Hero raises to t80, 2 folds, MP3 calls t80, CO raises to t300, 3 folds, Hero calls t220, MP3 folds.

Flop: (t710) 5[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], T[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 5[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] (2 players)
Hero bets t1200 (All-In), CO calls t1180 (All-In).

Turn: (t3090) 8[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] (2 players, 2 all-in)

River: (t3090) J[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] (2 players, 2 all-in)

Final Pot: t3090

Results in white below: 
Hero shows Ks Kc (two pair, kings and fives).
CO shows Th Tc (full house, tens full of fives).
Outcome: CO wins t3070. Hero wins t20.

Bad beat story! I push all in preflop. If he has aces I tip my hat and say "I hate party!"

If he hits a ten I post on 2+2 and look for sympathy. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Thats a bit harsh isn't it? Party even gets blamed for other sites cold decks!

Pretty funny Tosh. I push preflop as well.

ok I admit it, slightly bad beat story. Sorry to be such a whiny bastard. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Anyway, points taken on board - next time I push pre flop

Regarding your decision not to push preflop, what was your reasoning? If you were going for some deception (i.e., trying to trap the CO), then why did you push on the flop rather than checkraising all-in?

If you were going to just push on the flop, then you definitely should've just pushed preflop.

I done it in 1 a couple of times KK vs AA, and on 3rd in 2+2 euro sng this week, with a very badly played QQ, you seem to have done something similar to me, though not quite as bad.

We live and learn

I busted out of a Paradise $10+1 on the very first hand.
Had AA on the button, UTG raises MP player reraises, I go all-in, they both call. UTG has KQo and MP has KK. MP player makes a flush when four of the same suit hit the board and I don't have the right ace. Play long enough and you will see everything. lol

yep I woulda pushed preflop as well(after that raise)... but I fear it most likely would have been the same result. Most people wont throw away TT preflop after they have 300 invested.

Still this isnt anything to be ashamed of. I have had several last place finishes due to things just like this.

I had almost the same thing happen to me on hand 3 of a UB sng. except I was the reraiser preflop with KK and the AA just called. I got allin on the flop when checked to me, but I think given the blind structure I could have bet out and folded to a raise. I think given the blind structure at stars in your situation betting 400 and folding to a raise is a consideration. you are still left with a reasonable 800. I think if you are just going to call preflop, this is the better play. calling preflop really just lets you get away from it it is unlikley that it will get you more money unless you flop a set.
