512 people tourney down to 7. I have a lil more than avg with 110k.Blinds are 8k - 16k chip leader (about 320k) limps UTG folds to me I have AKd and I raise to 37500. folds to CL who calls.Flop is 2-5-7 with 1 diamond. He checks and I bet 40k. He raises me all in.I start cussing myself knowing I'm pot committed. I had only played about 50 hands with the person. But I had a gut feeling he had me dominated when he raised me knowing he I would be pot committed.I had about 17k left and folded. No doubt the dumbest move I made all night. So I should have called unless I put him on AA,KK, or a set right?

Push preflop..antes included, you have an M of about 3-4ish..Defintely time to push big, but vulnerable hands like AK If you dont do that, then you must must must push the flop...You just left yourself with 1 BB..Thats awful

Agreed.

Makes sense pushing preflop. I guess if he had anything less than AA, KK, or a set I still have 6 outs. Unless he had something like A7 (I wouldn't call that much if I was him but I'm tight). Then I'd be pretty much down to 3 outs. BTW - I only play on FCP and I know how to check the current hand or previous hand history. But is there a way that it's automatically stored on your comp or anything?Oh ya ....thanks for the advice. Some simple things apparently escape me. I should have thought more about what I was going to do if I totally missed after the flop. If I didn't push preflop should I have pushed after the flop? I guess it's better than committing the majority of the rest of my chips.

I expect you will get unanimous input to push pre-flop. This is for three reasons:
  1. The blinds and antes are large in relation to your stack. You don';t have time to wait for hands to come along, and AK is about as strong as they come.
  2. If you raise all-in , you have "folding equity". Your raise represents 1/3 of the limper's stack, so he has to think long and hard about calling you. You can often win the pot right there.
  3. AK prefers to see all 5 board cards

Since you did not push pf, you needed to push the flop,

BTW - I only play on FCP and I know how to check the current hand or previous hand history. But is there a way that it's automatically stored on your comp or anything?
From the main lobby, make sure "Enable Statistics" is checked in the Statistics menu.

Yes sir, and the night before with 600+ I made it to 17ish.I've also won 7 or 8 with 125-500+ people. Came in 2nd in one with 1900ish people. So I doubt I'm as dumb as you may think I am :)One of my best qualities (IMHO) is that I have a lot to leaarn. Or maybe it's that I'm unorthidox (I'm pretty sure I butchered the spelling of that):)But I can also donk em off with the best of em.

Yes you did butcher the spelling, but that is not exactly the word I was thinking of in this play...Something along the likes of awful was more what I was thinking :club:

I am taking pain meds so forgive me if I do'nt make sense. But I really have been fairly successful in tourneys. Live and the internet. But for the life of me I swear I don't know what kind of player I am. I guess it doesn't matter but I wish someone who knew what they were talking about could watch me and give me some advice. Then again that might really screw me up. I know I could play better but I don't know where I need the most improvement.Last night I was chip leader with 175 left out of the 500+ and I was going to ask for people to rail me but I thought I'd play like a total donk and at least jinx myself if I asked.
