[Guest gazza271]

Here's the last couple of my hands from tonights PLOP's qualifier. There was 3 of us left with 1 and 2 getting seats and 3rd getting $10. Second to last hand...... ***** Hand 959718958 ***** 400.00/800.00 Texas Hold'em (No Limit ) - 17 February 2008 22:04:04 PLOPS Satellite (Real /Tournament ) Seat 4: hornet01 (5319.00) Seat 8: GpdDelusio (23066.00) Seat 9: PLgazza (7390.00) GpdDelusio post SB 400.00 PLgazza post BB 800.00 ** Deal ** hornet01 [N/A, N/A] GpdDelusio [N/A, N/A] PLgazza [Qc, As] *** Bet Round 1 *** hornet01 Fold GpdDelusio All-in 23066.00 PLgazza All-in 7390.00 *** Flop(Board): *** : [2s, 9c, 6s] *** Turn(Board): *** : [2s, 9c, 6s, 3c] *** River(Board): *** : [2s, 9c, 6s, 3c, Ad] *** Showdown *** : Rake: 0.00 Total Pot: 15005.00 hornet01 Fold Win: 0.00 GpdDelusio [Qs, 8h] Highest card ace Win: 0.00 PLgazza [Qc, As] Pair of aces Win: 15005.00 With 3 of us left and Steve'o going all in quite frequently as the big stack and Hornet and myself fairly level in chips I'm calling here and with this hand I think I'm a long way ahead. My call wins and leaves the chip stacks as follows... Seat 4: hornet01 (5244.00) Seat 8: GpdDelusio (15601.00) Seat 9: PLgazza (14930.00) So with the blinds now at 400/800 this puts me in a good postion chips wise :ok Then this..... ***** Hand 959720037 ***** 400.00/800.00 Texas Hold'em (No Limit ) - 17 February 2008 22:04:43 PLOPS Satellite (Real /Tournament ) Seat 4: hornet01 (5244.00) Seat 8: GpdDelusio (15601.00) Seat 9: PLgazza (14930.00) PLgazza post SB 400.00 hornet01 post BB 800.00 ** Deal ** hornet01 [N/A, N/A] GpdDelusio [N/A, N/A] PLgazza [Ks, Kh] *** Bet Round 1 *** GpdDelusio Raise to 2400.00 PLgazza All-in 14930.00 hornet01 Fold GpdDelusio Call 14930.00 *** Flop(Board): *** : [7s, 10c, 7d] *** Turn(Board): *** : [7s, 10c, 7d, 7h] *** River(Board): *** : [7s, 10c, 7d, 7h, Ac] *** Showdown *** : Rake: 0.00 Total Pot: 30885.00 hornet01 Fold Win: 0.00 GpdDelusio [Qd, As] Full house Win: 30885.00 PLgazza [Ks, Kh] Full house Win: 0.00 Cruel cruel cruel river :wall:wall:wall:wall:wall:wall This is no way a sleight on SteveO's play, I would have played it the same as him without a doubt :ok My question here is having got into a decent chip postion should I have layed down KK and left Hornet to fight it out with Steve'O ? Hindsight is a wonderful thing and I think yes I should off but how the hell do you lay down KK at that stage. Who bin's them ?????

Re: Folding KK Gaz I raised form the button, which meant I could have had anything, you push allin which is the correct move. I think the call with AQ is more debatable as you're only 60/40 against a hand like 89 but you guessed correctly that you were miles ahead and doubled up.
