Just wondering... because obviously hindsight is 20/20. I'm pretty sure that folding to a raise and reraise is the right play, but the result is aggravating - I could've taken complete control here...PokerStars Game #1509616746: Tournament #6933239, Hold'em No Limit - Level I (10/20) - 2005/04/11 - 23:19:06 (ET) Table '6933239 1' Seat #8 is the button Seat 1: VeroTony (2250 in chips) Seat 2: Mariner17 (1490 in chips) is sitting out Seat 3: Killer888 (1000 in chips) Seat 4: K2Nug1 (1320 in chips) Seat 5: tbdjr (1460 in chips) Seat 6: vyne101 (1340 in chips) Seat 7: Mr.Buffalo5 (1660 in chips) Seat 8: Spikerius (1470 in chips) Seat 9: dyingbreed (1510 in chips)dyingbreed: posts small blind 10VeroTony: posts big blind 20*** HOLE CARDS ***Dealt to VeroTony [Tc Kc]Mariner17: foldsKiller888: foldsK2Nug1: calls 20tbdjr: raises 20 to 40vyne101: foldsMr.Buffalo5: foldsSpikerius: foldsdyingbreed: raises 80 to 120VeroTony: foldsK2Nug1: foldstbdjr: calls 80*** FLOP *** [7h 9c Jc]dyingbreed: bets 100tbdjr: calls 100*** TURN *** [7h 9c Jc] [Qc]dyingbreed: bets 200tbdjr: raises 300 to 500dyingbreed: raises 790 to 1290 and is all-intbdjr: calls 740 and is all-in*** RIVER *** [7h 9c Jc Qc] [Ks]*** SHOW DOWN ***dyingbreed: shows [Qh Qd] (three of a kind, Queens)tbdjr: shows [Qs Kh] (two pair, Kings and Queens) dyingbreed collected 2960 from pot*** SUMMARY ***Total pot 2960 | Rake 0Board [7h 9c Jc Qc Ks]Seat 1: VeroTony (big blind) folded before Flop Seat 2: Mariner17 folded before Flop (didn't bet) Seat 3: Killer888 folded before Flop (didn't bet) Seat 4: K2Nug1 folded before Flop Seat 5: tbdjr showed [Qs Kh] and lost with two pair, Kings and Queens Seat 6: vyne101 folded before Flop (didn't bet) Seat 7: Mr.Buffalo5 folded before Flop (didn't bet) Seat 8: Spikerius (button) folded before Flop (didn't bet) Seat 9: dyingbreed (small blind) showed [Qh Qd] and won (2960) with three of a kind, Queens

You are asking if folding K-10 sooooted to a raise and a re-raise pre-flop is the right play? I don't mean to be rude but, is this a joke?
Yeah. mostly a joke... I probably should have put this post in the bad beat whiner section! Just frustrating to watch it turn into a straight flush with 2 others all in... but I know I made the right play.

This is called results based thinking.You should try to not let the results of one particular hand affect your approach to starting hands.What you did is correct.
You're likely way behind, so folding is a no-brainer. Even more so since the stacks are so deep.

You are absolutely (no pun intended) right. Normally, I don't let the results bother me - I just focus on the immediate decision at hand given the present information. After making the decision, you have to move on.I don't know why, probably seeing the stone cold nuts with people still betting - it just temporarily ticked me off, which was unusual. That's probably why I posted it here right after - to vent so I didn't tilt at the table...
