So Mad I could spit

[bobbycharles]

Flame away, because I deserve it, just have to vent.

Those of you who don't flame me, got any suggestions for a graceful exit or was I committed? As far as I can tell, my biggest mistake was a toss-up b/w being in the pot in the first place vs not raising enough preflop.

Pokerstars $36 Satellite to Sunday $500k.
Pays 14 places; 23 left. I'm in 4th on the button with $8900. Villain is BB with $15,000.

Blinds $200/400 $25 ante.
Folds around to hero in button holding Ac6s.
Button raises to $800.
SB folds, Villain calls $400.

Flop 7c6h6d.
Villain bets $1600.
Hero calls $1600.

Turn is 5d.
Villain bets $3200.
Hero raises $6400.
Villain calls.

River 4c
Villain bets $1600
Hero is all in.

Hero has three of a kind sixes.
Villain turns over 7h8h for a straight 4 thru 8.

God I suck.

Raise more pf, then push on the flop if he leads out, or atleast push the turn

[2+2 wannabe]

well it's both why are you in the pot and why the min-raise preflop - i don't know why the bb is playing the hand either but whatever

push this turn and get sucked out on

[bobbycharles]

Yeah, the end result would be the same if he calls with his top pair needing runner runner. My guess, if I don't have my head up my rear and push the flop, he folds. Then again, I'm still in if I just fold preflop. I think it was in HOH saying don't get mixed up with a big stack that late.
What is the proper amount of time to mourn my regretful play?

Does it pay 14 entries? If so, are you a low stack? Could you have survived your way into the big tourney? If any of the above are true, you shouldn't have been in the pot. If you think you should have been there, I think you should move in on the flop. You probably get called anyway FWIW.

Yeah I was going to say knowing the way things generally go in those things, the guy likely would have called an all in raise there anyway even on the flop, convinced you were bluffing Ax overcards. Age old story. Great thing about the hand is he'll never believe you have a 6. Horrible thing about the hand is he'll never believe you have a 6...

As mentioned, I think you need to make it 3xBB _at least_ with that great holding on the button. Since there are antes involved and you're really looking to take it down PF (but could survive a flop), I would say make it 1200-1400 to go.

If the blind calls, and he's betting the flop, you need to decide if he has a 6 or the 7 or what draw he's got. I think pushing or raising 3-4x his bet is optimal. That may win you the pot right there. If he's calling, you got to decide whether he made a straight on the turn or not and roll all in. You've got outs and are not drawing dead at the very least.

Considering the line you did take, you have to just call the river.

I rip and I rhyme, I rhyme and I rip, this is the way Dylan spit.

To the OP, I'd raise more preflop, raise the flop to 5000 and push the turn.
