    Opinion About This Hand Please.

    I would actually call the turn when the the third diamond hits. He led out twice into the preflop raiser. If he has 2 pair it's probably 910 so you picking up 2 pair on the turn doesn't really help. On the turn you are pretty much beat by everything (any ten, flush, full house). If you hit the diamond on the river (which you did) I would make a crying call only. I would fold any non diamond/non king river. It sucks but remember on the turn you have 1 pair against a paired board with three suits on it. Because it's an over pair doesn't change the fact it's just 1 pair.edit: NEVER folding an over pair in $2NL is not a great strategy. You aren't gonna learn how to re-evaluate hands if you constantly put it all in with AA KK or QQ without thinking.
    Most of the time i have no problem to fold KK, AA KA or QQ if i know i've already lost. But on this one i didn't seen anything coming. When i hit the flush i thought i had the best hand. i didn't even think he could had a full.

    And now I know for sure you dont understand tourney strategy. You drive yourself insane because you dont understand how the game works. Read up on tournament strategy and then you wont be making these threads anymore.
    I understand tournament strategy very well, thank you. If you think calling any all-in with any two cards if a good strategy, you can also play bingo/lottery. I've played a lot of tourneys but i only statted to log leverything in PT3 3 weeks ago and actually i win a good amount of money. You can't get lucky more than 30 times in a row. You can't be in the money most of the time just becasue you're a lucky guy. And you don't finished 29th out of 4500 players when you don't understand tournament strategy.Of course i need to improve my game and fix my leaks. But don't tell me i don't know anything about tournaments.

    How can you complain when you've more than tripled you roll in 15 days?
    I don't really complain. I just say it's annoying to see people playing in a way that doesn't makes any sense. Like this hand i've just played. I'm short stack. I'm waiting for a good hand that doesn't comes. Suddenly i'm dealt 88....of course i think "well, it is now or never" so i'm all in with $1,195. Pot odds are now 1.25:1.A guy who has $4,595 calls. It means he's ready to risk close to 1/4 of his stack in a middle of a tournament when blind are only at 40/80. That's the firdt think i don't understand. Now, we are both all-in and he has A8s Vs 88. What was the point for him ?Pros : he gains $1,105 in the middle of the touney which doesn't change a lot of things. There will be many hands and anything can happens.Cons : HE'S RISKING 1/4 OR HIS STACK WHEN IT DOESN'T WORTH IT.Of course the turn was an ace and he kicked me out. If his hole cards have been JJ,QQ,AK or AA. I'd have think :"ok, well played...". But when it is A8s.....what's the point. ?That the only thing that bothers me with this king of player.

    You do realize when someone has 10 times your stack and you are short it is perfectly reasonable to call you with ATC. He is risking 10% of his stack to bust another player. Considering you are short, your range is rather wide, no matter your position. Therefore its not INSANE(as you put it) to make a call with a rather weak holding. So my assumption, based on your posts, is that you dont understand tourney strategy and are making yourself crazy because you feel you are better then you actually are.
    First i don't think i'm better than i am. When there's still 20 people to eliminate before being ITM i just think it is stupid when someone who is chips leader call with any two cards. What was the point ? There was still 19 others people to eliminate. Was he going to call every short stack trying to kick the m all out of the game ? And if he lost his 10 % he would have lost at least 5-6 places in the ranking.I call people with any two cards when i'm a chip leader and when there's only 2-3 people to kick off before getting paid. not i nthe middle of a tournament because it is "fun".

    Yeah, i see what you mean. Finally the night wasn't that bad. I ended up with $5+. Funny thing is i had at least 5-6 times AA at the same table in 1 hrs. The first five times i reraised and everybody folded (probably because i've been on a rush and shown only good hands everytime i've had to ). So the last time i thought, ok, i'm going to limp in. I have two callers and the flop comes 772. I raise, and one guy called. Like a fool i went all in, he called and won with 72.Another time i raise with AA, a guy reraised and i went all-in. he called and we both had AA.:)ps : Do you mean when you got pocket aces a guy with 78 has so much outs that he has 23% to win?I know very well my odds to hit a flush, a straight, etc....but i'm not very good with percentage. if i have to, i use the "outs x 4" formula on the flop or " (outs x2)+2" on the turn.....if i'm not wrong.

    OMFG....can someone paypal me $500 so i can play at tables with some decent players ? Ok, i now the more bad players there is, the more you gain if you're a decent/good player. Yes, i win money both in cash games and in tournaments ( i've started with $22 15 days ago and now i'm at $68) but all the crazy stuff i see everyday are driving me INSANE. I'm sick of being called when i'm all-in with JJ, (short stack in tourney), by a guy who has 10 times more chips and who calls with K2o and of course hits his pair on the river. I don't even talk about people who play 80 % of their hands and who get lucky when your have a good hand.I'd rather lose a little bit of money because other players are really stronger than me and their strategy makes sense that spending two fukin' hours earning $4 and seeing stuff that make me feel depressed.If there's a god he should allows me to play at a table with Negreanu, Brunson, Hellmuth, Ivey and some others dudes. Of course i'd get busted in like 10 hands....but i'd know why!I'm far of being a great player (i bet at least 60 % of the people here would take all my money) but i don't deserve to play 4 hrs a day with 90 % of donkeys. :(Yes i play poker because i wish one day it could be a second source of income. even if it's only like 150 euros a month but i also play because this game's great. For you American it'd be like seeing your favourite football team losing agaisnt a bunch of guys who don't know how to play. Beleive me you'd rather watch a great match even if you lose.How did you manage all this crap is you started to play at micro stakes ?HEEEEEEEELP !!Brb walking around the house and smoking a cig.

    How Would You Have Played This Hand?

    +1.OP, I've noticed from a lot of your posts that you have a habit of 3betting extremely small. This is a bad idea, especially at the stakes you are playing. Make it easy on yourself - as a general rule PF, if you're going to raise, make it 3-3.5x the previous amount.
    Yeah, you're right. The problem is i always raise 4-5 BB pre flop but after, i know most of those donkey are going to call even if that's expensive so, when i'm not really sure to have the best hand oi tend to make it 2-3 times max the previous bet. But i'd try to remember your advice.
