Damm River !!

Well into this tournement playing tight ans slightly under average chips. Not had many cards so when KJo in SB worth a limp. Hit two pair on flop.

I think All in wasn't a bad move (incidently first time I'd gone Allin in this tournement and we had be playing 1 hour 40 minutes)

But calling with a gut shot draw to a tight player is definitly left field.

I doubt the caller even knew how tight you had been playing and just went in on dumb luck...

[rgchan]

Sick. That was just a ridiculous call against your K-J. Only possible out looks like the Gut shot str8 and to call so many chips. I hope it was a low buy-in or a free roll.

As you play other players, It would be interesting aswell how you thought they where playing, before you decide to go all-in.

When you look at the cards, there was a possible straight draw and aswell a possible flush draw.

I would decide my action depending on my judgement of the other three players, how willing they are to call with a draw as you put up the odds for them.

just my 2cts

[Alnoble]

Good point Snowfish.

When I think back I'd recently moved to that table and looking at my hand history I'd only been delt 7 hands at that table. So didn't have a a lot to go on. Although his chip stack was well above average, probally a clue that he was getting cards.

That is one of the problems with MTT you do get moved a lot.

It hard to fold a good hand when you haven't been getting any cards.

Absolutely every one know that and feels the same. But I think it helps a lot and normaly you feel much better when occasionally you see the river as others are still in the pot and see what you would have run up against...

But still it hurts and is hard to lay down

Tonight I was playing in the Bodog BPO IV qualifier and at the final table with 8 players left found myself calling a bet of 4 times the BB with pocket nines. The flop comes 2, 2, 9 giving me a full house. I checked, player 2 bet half the pot and I raised "All In" which was a little over half the pot and almost all player's 2 chips. Player 2 calls and shows pocket Jacks. Queen on the turn and Jack on the river, giving player 2 a better full house and me KO'd in 8th place. Bad Beat are just Unlucky?

I would say just lucky. He did have the board covered if you did not have a 2, but even so at the final table it is a strange all in call. You will beat him next time.

[peaches]

TERRIBLE BEAT!!! There's nothing that can be said in defense of this guy's play here.

Object here was obviously to do whatever you could do to get all of the money in on the flop here... and by check-shoving you were able to accomplish this task.

Only comment I could say to the contrary is.... on a board as scarey as that, I'd be very hesitant to just not lead out big on the flop (in hopes of villain thinking that it's a donkbet on a draw). I would hate to give a draw a free card here. The play is obviously table dependent.
