Button: KQo. Folded to me, and I make a standard raise. BB Calls, flop is QQ6. We both check. Turn is another 6. She bets 425, which I raise. She folds. Based on her play, I thought she'd stick with it.CO: 75o. Fold.CO+1. 39o. Fold.MP3: 95o. Fold.We've lost over half the players. I'm slightly above average thanks to that last hand. This table seems likely to pay off a good hand. Do I have time to wait for it?MP2: AKo. I put in a standard raise and am reraised allin by a loose player. It is RERAISED all in by a player who has me covered. I fold. AQ and QQ (bigger stack). QQ holds up, But I would have won the hand. because of the two K's on the board. The first raise all-in I would have called.

dont know if im a fan of this play, if you think she might call a raise, why not smooth call her, and see if she bets the river, and if she checks put in a reasonable bet she might call? I don't think i want to be scaring her out the pot Anyway im watching so gl - nice of you to make the effort to write out a play by play, makes it much more fun to watch

And yes, i call the inital raiser with AK, i fold to the second players reraise. I think the reraise will be AA-QQ, AK most of the time in that situation, in which case you dont want to get involved.

agreed easy fold with a-k, also agree on the poster that said just call the turn bet with k-q, she may have had the ace and would have called say 400-500 after riv

UTG: K5o. Fold.BB: Q7o. 2 limpers. I check Flop comes Q42, all clubs. I bet out and win the pot.SB: 7To. Fold.Button: T2o. Fold.CO: 44. I fold to a short stack's all-in. It made a straight that would have lost to a flush.CO+1: A4o. Fold.MP2: 94o. Fold.MP1: 67o Fold.UTG+1UTG: ATs. Standard raise. Loose caller. A high flop, I move in and win the pot.BB: 78o. SB raises allin and I fold. Sick of that.SB: 93o. Fold.Back to the AKo laydown. The player who had me covered was pretty tight. I was pretty sure he was on a very big pair. In addition, if the loose all in included an ace, I was down to 5 3 or 2 outs. SInce it was just QQ, it was all 5. But I wasn't going to go heads up with a big pair that had me covered when I likely had a leg already out from under me.

table looking interesting now, both NLsoldier and JJProdigy are 2+2ers and pretty good players.

Following along here.Agree with just about every play you have made. Only questionable moves I see were the early position raise with A10s and the large bet with QQ when the A hit the flop (you bet 500, I think 330 or so would have been enough to find out where you were).

MP2: Reraise a standard raise All In with AQo. Ran into KK and didn't improve. That's all she wrote.Hate those races with AK vs QQ. Picked the wrong one to try too.

Well, this gave me a good chance to evaluate my play. I didn't play perfectly, but I played well, roughly the standard that I think I play most of the time. I aggressively went after pots I felt I could take, and my return on those attempts was positive overall.Once I attempted to extract extra value from two pair, and I got burned by river trips. I feel I played that generally correct apart from the fact it was a loose limp early on. But that's worked for me historically. Once I checked trips and let the other player bet the turn when I had made a boat. I raised, which may have been a mistake with such control over the hand. I made a standard raise with big slick, and got raised and reraised (both all-in). I correctly put the second raise on a big pair, but it was only Queens. Given that the first player was drawing very close to dead from the start with AQ, I certainly had odds to call, but was not willing to risk my tournament life at that stage. It's barely worth mentioning that i would have won, because I certainly was just about 40% to stay alive. I continued to play well, I think, and then I cam in for another standard raise with big slick and got reraised all in by a player I had covered by only about 1000. 1600 to call for a pot of over 4000 given me close to 3-1 odds on my money for a coinflip with the added bonus of having the guy covered. At that stage of the tournament, The call is automatic and I'm willing to live with the result. Severely shortstacked for the first time in the tourment, I immediately went in with AQ, which is the best you can hope for when the blinds represent 1/3 of your stack. I think that I should continue to play my game...focus even better on my opposition to locate the pots worth taking and the situations to avoid (which I feel I excelled in this time) and keep playing. I'm still way up on MTTs, and don't plan on stopping soon. See you next time, Go musky7!

blinds are 200/400. utg raises to 1200. i have kk in mp and raise to 2400. everyone folds to utg and he calls. flop is jj3. i have him covered 2-1 and go all in. he calls and turns over aj. i am now crippled down to 3900.

what a meltdown. blinds are still 200/400. mp calls and everyone folds to me in sb. i have ako so i move in with only 3500 chips left. bb calls and mp caller folds. bb has 88 and i dont catch. finished in 357. very disappointing finish.

If you fold you change the results if PP is using 'continuous shuffle' which I bet they are. Don't pay attention to the results online after you fold - it might just drive you crazy for no reason.
