Preflop stinks. The rest of the hand is nice.

Preflop sucks. I think 7500 > push > call > 5000, or maybe call > push > 7500 > 5000, or...I don't know but I do know 5000 is in last place.

I would check behind on most flops with a K in it...but this isn't one of them, because any other Broadway makes me really hate my hand. However, you've also managed to make the pot so big that any decent bet puts them both all in.

I think I think and check but you have to either push PF or keep the pot way smaller.

Incidentally, the turn action tells you you're probably beat. There are 2 aces and 2 kings in the deck and UTG+1 has to have at least one of them, so what does MP2 (who's been calling the whole way) have? The fact that it's a sat makes it a very very close decision if he pushes the river.

i'm either pushing or making it about 8K to go before the flop. after that you play fine.

Roman · #6 03-08-2005, 02:26 AM

I push PF, otherwise I reraise more. Your reraise was prolly worst possible as it pretty much guarantees you 3 way action in a bloated pot where you miss 2/3 times, and even if you hit you might not be good.

Yeah, now that I look at it, the pre-flop raise was horrible. I think my brain said to raise 5k, rather than raise to 5k (which would have meant push), but something happened on the way to the mouse. I gotta start playing afternoon tournaments.

In any case, the opposition was even worse than me. One guy mucked, the other showed A9 (not even sooted!), and MHIG.

Thanks,

Sam
