This is a fold pre.

You're in middle-late position, and the guy UTG flats the immediately gets 4x raised. What do you do if UTG re-pops? Very common play with big PP. Further, given the fact you said you're playing again being out so soon, this was likely early in the game with little to no reads on the guy. Finally, going broke on TP decent kicker when you started the hand with an M of nearly 40 is REALLY bad. Like, TERRIBLE.

I know I can be an ass, but believe me, I am helping here. How do you lose nearly 90 BB's on one pair? That's WAY too much, and you were never in the driver's seat on this hand. You played it poorly at every point. Passively, and gained no more information than what he provided. To expand:

Preflop: He say "I have a strong hand and am not afraid of either the UTG limper or the people behind me". Your call fished no more information.

Flop: Could say "I hit my hand / it's better than the board" OR it could say "Go away and let me win". He bet most of the pot, by my math ~600 into ~800. Though I DO NOT THINK IT IS A GOOD PLAY - re-raising to see if QQ will go away would have been better than calling, but by far folding is still best.

Turn: Now he puts all his 6k in to win 2k? He's either saying "No seriously, dude, fuck off" or "Haha, suck my dick newb". Again, without reads and some context, impossible to say which. If you had raised the previous hand, he would have possible re-popped, or he flats, and maybe checks here. If you fold we're done last street, but your call puts you into this minimal information situation.

Piggypie - legit - it's when you play hands in this manner that makes his play of this hand +EV.

I appreciate the help. I know I played that (KQh) hand bad. I could of folded after the turn and still had 4k left to play with. It took me like 30 seconds to call and I had the cursor on the fold button a couple of times.

piggypie123

Playing the $2.75, 5k guarantee. Time to redeem myself from last nights embarrasment.

Going out here was terrible. But folding Pre flop? I don't see why that is so bad.. unless I misunderstand something... he did have a royal flush draw

Macke

Piggypie.. just curious how many entry's into these tournaments you playing?

piggypie123

1 entry per tourney, no rebuys. Total tournaments, as many as it takes to get better.

piggypie123

In the $3.30, 3k guarantee, 1148 runners, 171 get paid. started at 4:00am.

This is a joke right?

Basic pot odds alone should explain. He had to call (no I didn't recheck the numbers because i'm a lazy fuck) at best 2:1 to call on his money with the chance of being repopped. Odds of a Royal Flush? 2.x MILLION:1. Hell, even hitting his Q here which is minimum he needed to win is > 3:1 odds.

GL with this piggypie, stick with it.

piggypie123

Thanks Wolffhound. I'm gonna take a few days off, and get back at it Thursday night. This will give me time to get pokertracker figured out.

I got 11th out of over 6500 runners earlier today. $2.70 turbo ko, 10k guarnatee on stars. Good for 76$. I went in to the final 11 with 1.5 million in 3rd place, blinds were 100k-50k but was card dead. Got A 4c and jammed with 600k, but ran into A Q.

Haha, good job! Going card dead is a very good sign that you have one of the best weapons in poker. The ability to fold. Keep working hard and play in position!:)
