Default Re: Foxwoods $100 MTT - going broke in level 1 w/ TPTK

Why not bet the flop and try to take down the pot? If you don't bet this flop, what flop do you bet?

You're not slow-playing a monster, but you do have a good hand. Bet it.

With no flop bet, I fold the Turn after that bet.

I don't call an All in.

Guess I'm too tight. Cause, I'm not calling 5 X BB pre flop w/ AQos...

Of course I treat JJ the same as 22 pre flop, so I guess I am tight.

The point is not about calling AQ PF for 5xBB. It's about calling AQ for 6% of your stack PF with big implied odds.

This is the only point in the tournament where you have anything that looks like a deep stack. Failing to play here (or in similar situations) leaves you inevitably at the mercy of forced coinflips less than 30 hands from now.

Best,
