I would of had quad Aces! I was trying to make move because my stack was getting low and blinds getting high. But with so many people calling my early raise I knew I was way behind and would be a big dog if I called all my chips. So I folded. UGH

Okay now that I vented I feel better. The worst part is I think with all the money that was in the pot I had the odds to call. Not sure though, not a math person.

What was the size of your chip stack at the start of the hand. Based on that, your decision should've been easier to determined with the blinds at 50/100. But yeah, in retrospect, it's tough to see that you folded the nuts.

I don't remember...I was getting low though. I believe I was around 10 big blinds left.

aww sorry to hear that wicked. I hate it when you fold a good hand and end up winning.

At the point of 10 big blinds or so, if you like a hand enough to raise, may as well go all-in. If you are beat, then oh well next tourney. By playing this way, you at least give yourself a chance to win the blinds or face one opponent with your life on the line.

Yeah I agree I should of comitted myself right ther instead of trying to steal blinds with a two times BB raise. I guess I did not like my position with only A 9 and decided to hedge my bets and then when 2 players pushed after me I caved. Next time I will play it differently, for sure!
