Both fairly snug players. I tanked this then eventually decided but dont know if i coulda played different.

[Breadfan]

all likelihood that utg has ak, and other has sooted ace, but for tournie position, not worth the call, too easy to suck out on that board. Keep the majority of your stack and move up a place.

[CitrusSR]

Presumably they have some sort of hand to be min raising UTG so I re-raise probably 90% of the time pre-flop here and try and get it all in to avoid having to make decisions like this on the flop.

As played I'd probably have to fold. UTG could have KK, JJ, AK, the other player has probably got two high cards like KJ, AJ, AK, Q10... saying that you've put a quarter of your stack in and you could still be ahead..... re-raise pre-flop to avoid having to think.

[TylerStroud]

I agree with you all, i was thinking (as foolish peeps like me do.)

"Well theres no flop that i REALLY dont want to see... So Ill get my chips in late position and hopefully triple."

Foolish indeed.


Spoilers :



Woulda been against K10 and K2, with a 2 on the river that woulda sucked out on me. I regret nothing. If it was a bigger tourney I especially would fold to move up the payladder.

[ongame player]

I think it is a good fold, hard to make.. but why didn't you re-raise pf?

[Stack-Paddy]

I agree with CitrusSR would have pushed all in pre-flop and left it to the gods

[Stack-Paddy]

Would you have folded Sir ?

[cayton]

I would have ramped it up pre flop. I know i would have still called (out of sinario rather than the cards) but the hairy biker and palmer would have binned em. o by the way good fold tyler even though you played em like this, i knew i had biker beat but was suprised when u told me what u had

[cayton]

LOL at the fairly snug players, I was UTG and 8 hours away from having to get up for my hols/short break, also couldnt play in mondays final so decided to shove with any ok 2.just so i could get a little sleep. What biker was chasing god only knows
citrus has had 7 goes and all wrong also breadfan er nope. THINK MORE DONKATHON

Aye, silly trying to put people on a hand when its any random two cards in freerolls.

Shove pre flop FTW
