    Could I Have Got Away From This Hand?

    in Tournament Play

    I would probably shove preflop. You are pretty much committing yourself with a raise pf.As played, try to trap him with a minraise, and call his shove.
    For the record, I hate all minraisers. They are not inconspicuous. "Youre pretty much on the bubble, you put in a raise to 30% of the effective stacks (I assume you were covered) and get called. Youre in deep trouble! His range is extremely narrow hereunless hes a total donk or youve been playing like a maniac. "Knowing they bought in for $5 each, I'm assuming its the prior.

    Should I Call Anyway?

    i think slowplaying here is absolutely not wrong. especially because he has position on the donkey. he's just got very unlucky and i think in future boards to the turn like this, he will make plenty more money with slowplaying it until the end. what happened to him did not happen because he played wrong, it was just pure bad luck. it's similar to shoving on the flop with the best hand by bar and getting beat by runner runner.
    Slowplaying on the flop is ok, but on the turn, he obviously likes his hand, so at least make a small raise, and if he folds then he had nothing anyways. On the turn he has 1000 left behind after the 430 bet, if you raise him 500 more I dont think he's going anywhere, and by this point he'll see that he has to play for his whole stack and will likely fold if he has absolutely nothing (which isnt likely) or just go all in. Just get the money in when you have the best hand. Letting him catch up a little is ok, but not all the way.

    I'll share something with you all that I learned in a heated thread I had several months ago, and that is that there is no added value of your tournament life. Blindly obeying pot odds, as long as you are doign your calculations correctly and accurately assigning ranges, is the only way to go in tournaments. There was one WSOP final table this year where phil had like 5 BBs on the button and minraised with K 6 off, and folded to a shove. I don't care who you are, that is a horrible play every single time. The real mistake is raising with a hand you're not going to commit with. There was a great article on this on cardplayer, and I can't find the link right now, but I'll put it up later if i can find it. But it basically made a point that you cant argue on why you should always take coinflips every time you get the chance.

    You need to realize that slowplaying will likely get you to a showdown where you can proudly show down your strong hand, but it doesnt get any money into the pot when you have the best hand. You're only getting paid if he has something anyways so you might as well bet.

    Yeah I came third, for $2700.Lost a big pot when I raised from SB with AQ three handed. BB calls, and I flop top 2. I lead he calls. Turn K, I check, he checks. River is a baby putting backdoor clubs out. I bet 200K and he raises 310 more. I jsut call and he flips J 10. That put me at the shortstack.Thanks for the support guys.
