IQCrash 1 Posted October 11, 2006 Share Posted October 11, 2006 $39 Satellite to the Sunday Million. I'm 3 for 5 in these in the past week, so I'm very comfortable with the level of play and my ability to eek out a nice profit from them. I'm low in chips sitting on about $2,000 with blinds less than a minute away from being 200/400...PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t200 (9 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FCP)MP1 (t4310)MP2 (t1160)MP3 (t5585)Hero (t2002)Button (t14260)SB (t6700)BB (t3000)UTG (t2005)UTG+1 (t4495)Preflop: Hero is CO with A , K . UTG raises to t1980, UTG+1 calls t1980, 3 folds, Hero calls t1977 (All-In), 3 folds.Flop: (t6137) 5 , T , 3 (3 players, 1 all-in)Turn: (t6137) 2 (3 players, 1 all-in)River: (t6137) 9 (3 players, 1 all-in)Final Pot: t6137Results in white below: UTG has 6s 6h (one pair, sixes). UTG+1 has 9h 9s (three of a kind, nines). Hero has Ad Ks (high card, ace). Outcome: UTG+1 wins t6137. Could I have waited for a better spot? Link to post Share on other sites
tskillz187 0 Posted October 11, 2006 Share Posted October 11, 2006 Grumble. I don't know. I probably don't call, you are likely against at least 1 pocket pair and then another person holding an A. That hurts you a lot. (Insert much rather push AK than call AK rant here) Link to post Share on other sites
gobears 0 Posted October 11, 2006 Share Posted October 11, 2006 I would have called too with an M approaching 3 with the blinds about to move upTripling up gets you closer to a seat; you have a lot of ground to make up and this is a good time to take a shot Link to post Share on other sites
IQCrash 1 Posted October 11, 2006 Author Share Posted October 11, 2006 Forgot to add: Blinds moving up to 200/400 in under a minute. 18 Left. Top 10 win Seat. 11, 12, 13, and 14 get $39. 15th place gets $1 - Crash Link to post Share on other sites

SCS 0 Posted October 11, 2006 Share Posted October 11, 2006 I don't think you have any other choice but to call, considering stack size, M, and blinds going up. Link to post Share on other sites

Briguy 0 Posted October 12, 2006 Share Posted October 12, 2006 If you're nowhere near the bubble, easy call. Near the bubble, I would scout the list to see how many stacks are in the 1000-chip range first. This is a flat payout, after all. Link to post Share on other sites
AcesUp46 0 Posted October 12, 2006 Share Posted October 12, 2006 Insta-call, reason being that blinds are going to increase soon. 2nd reason is that AK must be played all-in preflop according to ESPN Link to post Share on other sites
