A hand from the WRGPT, What do you do?

I'm delt Kh Qh in the BB. No reads on anyone. Blinds 300/600, Ante 200. I've played about 5 hands the entire tourney if anyone else is paying attention....

Heres my reasoning..

Preflop: KQs good hand but I dont want to raise with poor position on future rounds so lets see the flop. If it sucks I get out cheap. I'd say the button has any random hand and the UTG limper probably has a pocket pair or AJs+.

Flop: Hmm good flop, lets see what preflop limper boy wants to do. He bets like anyone probably would do. I check raise the pot. If hes got nothing I should take it there. I figure if he calls I'm probably beat.

Turn: He called. Hmm. I check to him because I dont want to risk my tournament with KQs and he strangely checks. I discount the backdoor draw.. The players in this tourney are going to be more educated that random online ones (given the play over email format)..

River: I pray that he checks it down but alas doesnt. He moves all-in and it's the tournament for me to call.

What do you do?

Did I blow it with a lack of action on the turn? 8k into that 20K pot wouldn't defend my hand in any sense..

One thing I have noticed during the tourney.. Big pocket pair players love to limp in EP.

    I have a rule of thumb that If I'm going to put over half my stack in, I may as well put the whole thing in. You were committing yourself at the flop without position. I would say the line you took, you should have pushed in on the check raise. That way there's no guessing games at the turn or river.

    Yea I would have pushed in on the re-raise to try and bump out a hand like 10-10 or something. Did you end up calling?

    sinc: To answer your question, he folded. See quote above.


    Well I've been in this same situation before BBC. lol I tend to side with magi here. If you committed half your stack on this hand, a push at the checkraise point might have made him fold. Unless he's got a higher pair, or hit trip fives. Tough call.

    Did he show his cards? Tell us, tell us. lol (my gut here says Ax, but he could be on a pure steal after your check)


    Also, the email format you mentioned??? Is that a newsgroup doing that? And is someone actually dealing the hand out somewhere live, and a bunch of people are emailing/posting their decisions back and forth based on this???

    Tough call.

    Very tough because if I bust out, thats 86 days of play down the tubes :)

    No show.. I told him he could have it with his quad 5's..

    It's the World Rec Gambling Poker Tournament.. Every year in like August or September they crank it up.. (and takes about a year to win) .. It's a server that deals out hands and you send commands via email.. It's strictly virtual..

    And I thought 5 or 6 hours was a long tournament. lmao You could actually have a player die during that one. A car accident, sickness etc. And all you would see is ...
    (seat 3 folds blinds, no response to emails) hehe

    Interesting concept though.
