February tourney.
Got 4th today in the monthly tourney. Really only one hand to talk about. I played very well overall, I think. Down to 5 people (5 getting paid). I'm chipleader with over 80k of the approximately 260k in play. Folds to me on the button. I have 55. Blinds 2k/4k with a 500 ante. I make it 12k. Call, call. hmmmmm. 38,500 in the pot before we see a flop. Obviously a huge spot. Flop A84. Check, check. I know neither has an Ace or a set. They can't call here. I go all-in. SB tank calls, BB folds quickly. SB has AJ. Wow. He had like 58k left. I just didn't think it through. I think my reasoning was sound overall, but I could have obviously gotten that info for much less. Say I bet 18k. That meant I'm crippled and have to gamble with the other two short stacks. We trade money for awhile, I outlast one, and IGHN in 4th.

Curious to hear your explanation here:
ReplyDelete"I know neither has an Ace or a set."
My explanation is that I was wrong. At the time I made the bet, I was certain it was just going to be fold fold and move on. As soon as he tanked, I knew I was f-ed. The SB in this hand is a calling station. I thought he was taking a stand with less than an A. Rightly so, considering how stupidly I played it. But, to see AJ was a shock. I had no idea. And, I have a pretty good read on the guy. btw, I think he played this hand horribly preflop, but he got lucky on the flop and luckier when I played the flop double horribly.
ReplyDeleteps As I've thought about it, I think even just betting 12k again is ok here.
