jayo 0 Posted October 14, 2005 Share Posted October 14, 2005 Played a 10$ tourney yesterday , 236 entries. First hand I was on the button dealt KK . To make the story shorter there were 3 all ins b4 it even got to me. I folded not wanting to go bust in the first hand.IN the end i would have been knocked out by set 8s and 2 pair As and Qs.What i am asking here is ignoring the fact i would have lost should i have called the all ins and try to get a big chip lead immediately . (the other peson who went all in had k3 but they were suited ) Link to post Share on other sites
TucsonMonster 0 Posted October 14, 2005 Share Posted October 14, 2005 instead of flaming you, i just want to state the fact before i go to bed, that pokerstars is rigged. (sw) just upset that i was called by a A4 off when i hold pocket queens and the pot woulda made me 4th overall. (he made a boat 4's full of 3's) good night. Link to post Share on other sites
lifelessimp 0 Posted October 14, 2005 Share Posted October 14, 2005 I guess this is serious... so:a $10 tourney? autocall. easy, easy call.kings win more than 1/4 of the time vs. what people push with (esp first hand) of a $10 tourney. Link to post Share on other sites

teneight 1 Posted October 14, 2005 Share Posted October 14, 2005 the fact that this was only a 10 dollar tournament, I would push all in every time on the first hand with KK. 10 dollars is a very little amount of money. if you win the hand ::which you win most of the time compared to the other 4::: you will have great chip position through out the whole tournament.if the buy in was pretty high for my BR, I would then actually think it over, but since it was only a 10 dollar tourny.

Otherwise, you are roughly 40% to win or so, making it an easy call getting 3-1 on your money. $10 tournament: the random crap people push with is... random crap. Maybe 1/3 times, someone has AA. In that case, someone do the math and find out your -EV. otherwise it's very +EV.I suck at life, and at poker. Spademan is god. Teneight is cool, too. Link to post Share on other sites

PUSH PUSH PUSH since I could afford that any dayteneightps. have they updated the small school bus lately?you just don't get it. it can be $10 or $10,000. does calling all in with KK on the first hand of the main event of the WSOP make you anything other than stupid when you lose to AA? it's not a question of affording it; it's ALWAYS a question of winning.i expect over many hands to win. i don't need to gamble with KK on the first hand in this situation. call me stupid; i don't care.so, insult all you want. i have seen enough freeroll and low buy in tournaments to know that you can lose with KK on the first hand. i readily concede that most of the time you're pushing in with the best of it; certainly so head to head. but if you've seen the hands people play in these situations, it's easy to wait for a better spot when your odds are NOT decreasing massively based on the amount of players who call.imagine a table where you hold KK, another caller has AQ, another caller has JJ, another caller has 66, and still another caller has 89 of diamonds. your hand can now be beaten by any ace that comes, any J, any 6, any cards to make a straight, or any cards to make a flush. it is no longer anywhere near 80% to win and indeed is much less given the callers.if you know, as you should at the $10 buy in level, that many people will call an all in bet on the first hand, this is an easy laydown.

jlgosse 0 Posted October 14, 2005 Share Posted October 14, 2005 Your logic is flawed. You see, later in the tourney, you have LESS reason to call with kings PF, as it's much more likely someone has aces or a high ace to outdraw you.Are you saying you almost always lay down kings in an all-in situation then, as long as it's preflop?That's brilliant.

jayo 0 Posted October 14, 2005 Author Share Posted October 14, 2005 The reason i posted this was to see what other people would have done in this situation, the fact that it was only a 10$ tourney is irrelevant i think. for those of u who told me what they would do i thank u, for the other people who act tough hiding behind a nickname well ye are the reason people r getting pissed off with this forum Link to post Share on other sites
jlgosse 0 Posted October 14, 2005 Share Posted October 14, 2005 I would probably call by the way. Not sure though. With 2 or 3 calls after someone pushes, it would scream aces. Link to post Share on other sites
