Newbie Question
HI All
First post so take it easy on me..... [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] In a MTT last night and would like some advice as to whether I played the following hand correctly please. about 250 left - pays first 70 SB/BB 300/600 am on the BB with about 4000 chips (after paying) SB 10K+ Button 5K I have 10 6 os folds all round to button who calls as does SB I check for free Flop 10 7 6 rainbow SB bets 1200 - I have been on the table about 5 hands - he bet a similar amount on a raggedy flop about 3 hands ago and won against 4 players with less chips than him I immediately raised him AI as I have my 2 pr - figuring him for either an overpair, K 10/Q 10 (favourite choice) or K8/Q8 limp in - I want to win the hand there and then and not allow him to draw the button also raises AI for his 5K which really surprised me as I would have thought he would have raised preflop with any decent hand, and then the SB called They both had A 10 os - and yes an A hit the turn busting me out as they shared the pot So did I do the right thing? I didn't want to just call and let him bet at me again and give him a card to draw to, I just wanted to show I had best hand and hopefully "get out of here guys"!! lol Thoughts most welcome as I improve my amatuer game cheers Damian |

Re: Newbie Question
Pot was 3000 after the SB bet, you had 4000 left, I think it was the right move. You can't fear 8-9 here.

Re: Newbie Question
You were lucky to flop two pair against two TPTK. They have two outs to a split pot.
The fact they caught it doesnt make it the wrong play. Good hand. Bad luck. |

Re: Newbie Question
You got all in with chance to triple up with best hand. You can't do much more than that.

Re: Newbie Question
I'm playing the same way everytime. You did good Damian don't let the results drive your thinking. The only hand that I would be worried about would be the 9-8 which would probably check because it is a real strong holding on this flop. 2 pair are way too weak to slowplay you want to end it on the flop which you tried to do. You got two callers with only 5 outs to split the pot with incorrect odds to make this play. I'm just astonished that they called in this spot, but I hope they do everytime.

Re: Newbie Question
If another seven comes off, they both have a higher two pair with an A kicker, ditto for two runners, like 8-8 or 9-9.
