I have come Home early from a Live game and this is why!

[GypsyTea]

Like I said Guys and Gals great feed back, Now I broadly agree about not soft rolling Bullets, If I was in the Main Event Trust Me theres not a cat in hells chance of me arsing around slowrolling on the 1st 2 days, BUT at the moment I am playing small club poker, nuts and bolts street poker.

I am playing with the Yeoman Stock of my fellow Poker players...RESPECT!

They can all play Holdem and Omaha Hi and as soon as I raise 4 x BB they ALL KNOW I have a Group One Sklansky Hand!

Its OK playing all the EPT events, but some times I love to just play cards, with out me spending 10,000 euros plus expenses, I like to play 5 to 7 times a week. I like to experiment, to enjoy, to talk about hands.

I love Playing Cards Each Game is different......

You definitely should have raised pre-flop.

Most importantly, I dont agree with your all-in raise after the turn:

1 - You let 4 opponents limp in "your" pot, 2 spades come on the flop and one of your opponents calls your post-flop bet. If he had made two-pair or trips, we would probably raise with that flop to shove away the draws. A call can mean two things: he is on a flush draw (the first thing you've got to have in mind) or he has hit a pair.

2 - You bet like that because you thought you had the best hand, but what do you expect to achieve with that bet? The only hand you can beat is one pair, and noone with just a pair of queens would call, especially so early in a live tournament. So, you can only expect to steal the pot, at best, with your all-in bet (and you could do this with a standard bet of half the pot, without risking your tournament). Most importantly, if he was on a draw he would now have completed his flush and would gladly take all your chips.


Therefore, IMO that play has a very negative expected value and is a big big blunder.

A standart cbet or a check is are the only plays you can make here.

(I haven't read the other comments, so forgive me if I have repited what the others have said...)

The reason this game is no limit hold-em. No way, I repeat no way should you ever smooth call or check with aces. Aces strink easily postflop which is why you must be aggressive with them preflop. If played properly, that result never happens, whether live or online. A costly error and bam, night's over.
