I have 10 10 cant't remmeber suits stack of 90k blinds 2/4k. I open the raising in highjack to 12k next player calls, sb folds bb raises all in to 20k. I reraise to 45k and dealer calls.< Question.. why are we re-raising here to 45k???? This is CLEARLY a spot to SHOVE!!! You're only leaving yourself aound a 1/4 pot sized bet for the flop?? You MUST SHOVE here once raised..... ALWAYS!! You're only ~22bb's deep.... get it in preflop.. every single time in this spot!!!!
Right simple I want to isolate heads up a 45k bet is massive into a 93k stack... regardless he calls with 6,3 off you think all in makes any difference here? Also it allows me to fold if I absolutely have to! he reraises me all in... are my 10s now good? Probably not, Do I think I can shove and pick up some more blinds/ double up before it gets back round to me? Absolutely!
flop comes 457 i check dealer checks.< Why are we 'checking' here? We only have like 33k left and pot now should be ~ what..126k.. We're NEVER FOLDING HERE EVER.... if you didn't get the money in preflop... GET IT IN NOW!!! "CHecking" here is terrible!! .,... turn is 2 check check. river is a 10... i hit my set and move all in. dealer calls and shows 63 off.... guy had 96k pre flop and im busted.
Checking here is simple to induce the other guy to push thinking oh he's missed the flop I'll get him off this, I'm confident he hasn't hit and put myself wayyyy ahead!
I have kjd and only 20 players left i have stack of 350k i raise pre flop to 30k blinds are 5/10k and im in late position with no raise behind and I have one caller. flop comes 89j and other guy checks, i move all in and after a long time guy calls to show 77. turn is k river 10 i bust out.< so you bet how much into a 80k pot 320k? Why such a HUGE overbet??
Again simple 1 I do not want draws to stay in the hand is he has one... he did and stayed anyway and why would I shove if I'd hit? A high possibly calls and I stack off!
I have aces after about an hour into tourney and 6k stack with blinds 1/200. first to act goes all in and i call he shows 84 clubs. flop... you guessed it 884...< what game is this? I want to play it. I would think this is one where I would never want to be complaining... I mean if you've got idiots who'll get it in pre w chit like that?!?! AWESOME!!!
Yeh great I wouldnt normally complain... BUT WHY WOULD 84 GO ALL IN 1ST TO ACT! Even my girlfriend knew this was a muck before she knew anything about poker! You don't think it's a little funny flop miraculously comes 884? just when a person who hasn't played a hand shoves with 84? I certainly did.
