This has been bothering me
Payout top ten get a prize worth $10,000.
11-30 get a prize worth $5000 To me the secondary prize is almost as valuable is the first prize. 40 people left. my stack is about 40,000. I am about 12th. ave is around 25,000. I could most likely fold my way into a secondary prize. blinds 1200/2400 antes 25 MP who is the chip leader with 80,000 raises to 7200.(no read as he has just been transfered in) All fold to me in the BB AKs. I Call pot around 15,000 FLOP is A95 rainbow. 1 of my suit. I bet 7000. he folds. was this awful considering the circumstances? under a normal prize structure how should this have been played? |

Re: This has been bothering me
Since second is worth almost as much to you, I think thats ok.

[/ QUOTE ] Why not just push the flop? Since second place is so valuable to you, and calling preflop still leaves you with an above average stack if you check-fold the flop, then it makes your decision simple. A better question would be this... if the flop had come down AJT with 2 of a suit (not yours), how would you have played it? |

Re: This has been bothering me

[/ QUOTE ] 1-10 recieves a trip to the Carribean Poker Classic in ST Kitts. and a buy in to the main event . 11-30 gets the trip and $1400 worth of tourney vouchers for the smaller tournaments. As it was I finshed 12th but I am just happy to escape the drizzle and cold and lie on the beach and oggle Jennifer Tilly.

Re: This has been bothering me
i thought this was gonna be a bad beat story. preflop, maybe wouldve reraised, but i understand your reservations. on the flop i wouldve led out, like you did. chip leaders arent to be dealt with lightly.

Re: This has been bothering me
i think i'd be kinda standard.. you have a good hand that you should reraise w/.. i guess you could raise to like 16k and then push the rest in on the flop. You might get some hands you dominate to put more money in that way.
