All in kq?

[pokerpro]

Last night I was in a very strong tourney on cake. Started with a field of 56 and paid top 10. I managed 3-5 place most of the time. Things started to turn at bubble time. Within a few hands I was on the bubble and was folding everything under the sun. I was down to 3250 chips when I managed to get AA. The player to my left was first to bet after everyone else folded around to him. He went all in with about 4100 and of course I called. When he turned over QK I knew victory was mine. Then the flop 8 Q K turn and river no help at all.. Out in 11th in paying top 10. That person had me steaming the rest of the night

Oddly was watching late night poker on uk tv lastnight feldman i believe u may recognise him young guy raised AK suited 30percent of his stack....a guy who was comfortable (note this was not late on in tourney) reraised him allin with kq feldman called. Flop came a King + feldman hit 2 of his suits, turn dead...then river came 1 of his 2 outs to give 2 pair kings & queens


Y? surely he knows he has no fold equity and surely he knows he is behind...But what do i know this guy went on to in the tourney of course.



I feel ur pain kq cracked my aces pre-flop allin yesteday i stand at 3 wins and 3 defeats from my last 6 allin pre flop with aces. Have no idea y kq ever ends up in this spot u can have a pair = they r beat, any ace=they are beat and even worse a dead card which is very likely.



But remember the fact people can get lucky is what keeps losing players in the game .... although when i try and think that after a badbeat it doesnt make me feel any better either.

My tourney today I was feelin smug. I have KQ and flop pops up K5Q.
Raise 500 chips, I get a caller, 6 pops up on the turn. Raise 500 chips.
An Ace pops up on the river. Raise another 500 chips. Someone calls.
They win the hand with an A5 in the hand. My two pair loses to a higher
two pair.

without knowing how high the blinds were, i'd say he made the right move. i'd say you need to not fold everything under the sun and start taking advantage of position and raising in LP to steal blinds and build a better stack.

Don't know if that could help, but there were 2 options there: calling AI or fold AA. Both were acceptable i guess, depending mostly on blind levels and your read vs opponent hand.
Going AI preflop with kq at bubble time is standard if nobody's act first so that you can't blame your opponent. I'm sure some could tell you can fold AA preflop at bubble time if your raising opponent have a bigger stack than yours. Just need to be able to.
Ask PO, and he'll probably tell you how and why. Cause i'm not the one able to answer that.

How much was buy-in ??

Some dude move with AA and got called with KQ in sunday 4 mill this weekend. K on flop, Q on river. AA got eliminated in 10th place. Difference between 20 k and 1.15 million lol.

Hope that makes you feel better, gl

got knocked out of the bodog tourney tonight by someone with KQ. all in preflop vs. my AQ. JJ9. turns a 10.

donkey.

early in the tournament too. i had raised UTG or so and he came over the top. i had lost a hand earlier and was down to 1100, so I decided to gamble.

thats rough dude...makes it hard to keep playing after stuff like that happens
Keep getting your money in good though and you'll be fine

Unlucky but I can,t blame the player either.He was near Bubble level too so I assume blinds were valuable. You said it folded all around the table so it must have been Late position. He was after the Blinds no doubt and probably SH*T when you called him OUT.
