[MadManMund]

Bad play or bad beat? What are you thoughts on this hand? I primarily regret risking so much so early in the tournament.

Bad beat for sure. I mean, you were in with the best hand with all your chips. What's not to like? Just because your opponent caught a 5 outer shouldn't make you regret the play.

Gotta a get some luck in tournies.

if you're going to call a re-reraise here why don't you push once he re-ups it - that way you have at least some FE?

I don't like the small re-raise from 350 to 600, I'd probablly push all inthere, but tough break on the turn.
