The right play?

[dave]

Playing a $10 6 seat STT 3 players left 2nd prize $15, 1st prize $45 Did I do the right thing, or should I have settled for an almost guaranteed 2nd place, with a chance to win? Table "SixPak10 493823 - 1" Seat 1 is the button. Seat 1: Hannez1 (300 in chips) Seat 2: Fallon (3334 in chips) Seat 6: dave10 (2366 in chips) Fallon: posts small blind 25 dave10: posts big blind 50 ----- HOLE CARDS ----- dealt to dave10 [Kh Ad] Hannez1: folds Fallon: calls 25 dave10: raises to 200 Fallon: raises to 3334 and is all-in dave10: is all-in 2166 Returned uncalled bets 968 to Fallon ----- FLOP ----- [7d 4s 9d] ----- TURN ----- [7d 4s 9d][Ts] ----- RIVER ----- [7d 4s 9d Ts][3c] ----- SHOW DOWN ----- Fallon: shows [2h 2d] (A Pair of Twos, Ten high) dave10: shows [Kh Ad] (High Card Ace) Fallon collected 4732 from Main pot

Re: The right play? Um tricky one but i think it was the wrong play to go all in. You were almost certainly in a situation where you were either in a coin flip or more horribly crushed. Ace king is a hand i am looking into my strategy with i think im falling in love with it too much and making too many plays like yours. The initial raise is fine IMO. By the way i think his play is even worse you could well have an overpair and therefore have him dead to a two.
