He\'s probably just messing around...but....
2nd hand of the PPM V super-satellite.
(180 players, $165 buy-in, top 2 get the cruise-package worth $13.5k). Blinds 10/15 I have KQs in MP and open-raise to 60. The button goes all-in for 1000. I don't know this guy from adam. His party-handle is something like 'GambleHolic' (I changed it by a couple letters). Naturally I fold...but I'm almost tempted because this move is just a bit on the weird side. Then again, my last tourney was the Stars $11-rebuy last night and I had a maniac at my table going all-in with every hand in the first hour (and I kept getting hands worth trying to double-up with against 'any-two' like KQ, A4, 66, etc) so that experience perhaps messed up my persepctive. I know there are better spots to look this guy up and it's an easy fold. Just such an unusual move that it obviously caught my attention. Afterthought - In the time I took to write this we have played about 10 more hands and this guy has folded EVERY single one of them (including one that was min-raised and then 7 other players cold-called except me and him). Will be curious to see if he goes all-in like that again and is possibly playing some sort of Sklansky all-in system. Obviously when this play happened I wasn't aware of his upcoming folding-tendencies. |

Re: He\'s probably just messing around...but....
Good fold methinks. If I catch a monster, especially in a higher buy in, VERY early in a tournament (first 2 or 3 hands) I'll open push. This has the twofold benefit of both: a) appearing to be a huge fish, b) getting paid if someone calls with their AQ (it's his duty to teach the fish why not to do this).
I find that sacrificing one early oppourtunity can mean huge paydays later. He had aces... |

I assume it was Gamboholic_, and I imagine it was a great fold based on what little I know

Yup.
Do we know him? He played extremely tight after that. Not sure he played a single hand. Just got moved from that table. |

if it was gamboholic_ you were crushed. if it wasn't, there's a 95% you were crushed. don't overthink yourself here.

[ QUOTE ] don't overthink yourself here. [/ QUOTE ] no. i'm not. in fact, contrary to what bugstud said...I don't think this is a great laydown. it's a pretty obvious one. If it's an expert player (as you guys indicated) then it is likely an AK that he doesn't want to miss a flop with...or he is just value-allin-ing his KK or AA and hoping that I am in the mood to roll the dice. This is even more interesting to me now that I know it is an expert player that did this. Seriously, I make a standard 4x raise to 60 and he goes all-in on me for 1k on the 2nd hand of the tourney?? I'm used to seeing the occasional donk do that in cheapo SNG's or something...but in a tourney like this you just don't see that everyday. Possibly a strategy to try to build his stack as quickly as possible because of the payout structure (top 2 out of 180 get the cruise package). |
