Pat Straight in a Pot-Limit Draw Tournament
I just told the story about a correct laydown I made with a pat 10-high straight against an extremely tight player (who had a pat flush) in the big Online Draw Advice thread. I'm starting this thread to describe another situation where I busted out of a draw tournament with a pat straight.
I don't have the hand history available, so stack sizes are approximate. It is very early in the tournament and the blinds are not yet an issue. This was a 10 Euro buy-in pot-limit draw MTT at 24hPoker. The player to my immediate right is "Ilmaveivi", a Finnish player who in my opinion is one of the best draw players at the site-tricky and aggressive and not the player I wanted seated next to me. Ilmaveive has the big stack after winning a large pot off another good player and has ~4000 chips. I probably have ~1600 at this point. The hand in question, Ilma is the SB and I'm the BB. One player limps in, Ilma completes. I have KQJTx and check. Ilma and I both draw 1 and limper draws three. I draw the ace and now have an ace-high straight. Ilma bets the pot, I raise the minimum, limper folds, Ilma reraises and I call, putting myself all-in. Ilma has the flush and I'm out. So, feedback: Who thinks that I should just call, who thinks the raise was fine and I had to go broke, anyone think I should fold? (If I just call I'm well below average stack but I'm not totally crippled). |
