A few big money hands that I\'m unsure about...
Went from chip leader to 11th place in a big MTT today. Was really upset about it, as I can't ever seem to make the final table. I'm talking roughly 100 MTTs over the year without a single final table appearence. Lots of cashes, just always blow up somewhere late. I'd like opinions on a few key hands that broke me.

Can you find a fold anywhere in there? ------------------------------------------ PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t6000 (8 handed) converter Hero (t139273) SB (t218519) BB (t150301) UTG (t77046) UTG+1 (t56117) MP1 (t252056) MP2 (t92323) CO (t172104) Preflop: Hero is Button with A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], K[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]. <font color="#CC3333">UTG raises to t12000</font>, <font color="#666666">4 folds</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to t84000</font>, <font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, UTG calls t64746 (All-In).

Should I have made it a lesser raise and folded to a scary flop? I felt like I couldn't afford to do that at that point. I had also stolen the last pot pre-flop, so I figured any smallish raise I made probably wouldn't get the job done. The people at my table were more than willing to coldcall a 4XBB raise. Thoughts? Oh also... AK can go to hell! |
