happyhornet Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 I am in the Daily $15K on Stars, have done little of note (bar river someone to get double up:lol). It pays to 324, there are about 335 left and this happens...... PokerStars Game #18266394180: Tournament #92043956, $10+$1 Hold'em No Limit - Level XI (400/800) - 2008/06/20 - 15:54:17 (ET) Table '92043956 30' 9-max Seat #3 is the button Seat 1: msotown (13029 in chips) Seat 2: geelincoln (12963 in chips) Seat 3: JFS1986 (14592 in chips) Seat 4: podhhe (11970 in chips) Seat 5: Fury1959 (9619 in chips) Seat 6: TooMK (2218 in chips) Seat 7: Oid1 (5435 in chips) Seat 8: happyhornet (6570 in chips) Seat 9: Daggi_501 (17758 in chips) msotown: posts the ante 75 geelincoln: posts the ante 75 JFS1986: posts the ante 75 podhhe: posts the ante 75 Fury1959: posts the ante 75 TooMK: posts the ante 75 Oid1: posts the ante 75 happyhornet: posts the ante 75 Daggi_501: posts the ante 75 podhhe: posts small blind 400 Fury1959: posts big blind 800 *** HOLE CARDS *** Dealt to happyhornet [Kc As] TooMK: raises 1343 to 2143 and is all-in Oid1: folds happyhornet: raises 4352 to 6495 and is all-in Daggi_501: folds msotown: folds geelincoln: folds JFS1986: calls 6495 podhhe: folds Fury1959: folds *** FLOP *** [Qd 8s 9d] Daggi_501 said, "7 players for the money" *** TURN *** [Qd 8s 9d] [8d] *** RIVER *** [Qd 8s 9d 8d] [Js] *** SHOW DOWN *** happyhornet: shows [Kc As] (a pair of Eights) JFS1986: shows [Ah Ac] (two pair, Aces and Eights) JFS1986 collected 8704 from side pot TooMK: shows [7c 6c] (a pair of Eights) happyhornet said, "nh" JFS1986 collected 8304 from main pot BlunderCity is connected *** SUMMARY *** Total pot 17008 Main pot 8304. Side pot 8704. | Rake 0 Board [Qd 8s 9d 8d Js] Seat 1: msotown folded before Flop (didn't bet) Seat 2: geelincoln folded before Flop (didn't bet) Seat 3: JFS1986 (button) showed [Ah Ac] and won (17008) with two pair, Aces and Eights Seat 4: podhhe (small blind) folded before Flop Seat 5: Fury1959 (big blind) folded before Flop Seat 6: TooMK showed [7c 6c] and lost with a pair of Eights Seat 7: Oid1 folded before Flop (didn't bet) Seat 8: happyhornet showed [Kc As] and lost with a pair of Eights Seat 9: Daggi_501 folded before Flop (didn't bet) The big question...was I right to get involved? I was about 70 or so inside the pay zone before this hand, and the bubble blew 2 minutes after this hand. I could fold into the money easily, cos i'm probably not going to win it!! Or was I correct to go for it? When I was knocked out, i was annoyed with myself for not folding into the money from my susceptible position. Thoughts guys?

GaF Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 Re: Hornet's Strategy Questions. Part 8 How much did 324th pay? How much did first pay? I'm pretty sure that I think you were right to raise like that and isolate the short stack all in - you dont want to encourage action from others. You have less than 10xBB - it's a no brainer for me.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glceud Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 Re: Hornet's Strategy Questions. Part 8 I'm with GaF near enough a no brainer unless you need the 324th place money to buy the wife flowers or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goater14 Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 Re: Hornet's Strategy Questions. Part 8 you were just unlucky to run into a hand after you, you did the right thing raising to isolate the small stack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
happyhornet Posted June 20, 2008 Author Share Posted June 20, 2008 Re: Hornet's Strategy Questions. Part 8 324th paid about 2 x buy-in.:ok If I bought my wife flowers, she would assume I was having an affair...so not high on my list of purchases!!;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fonzie14 Posted June 21, 2008 Share Posted June 21, 2008 Re: Hornet's Strategy Questions. Part 8 i'm with everybody else' date='good move just a little unlucky:ok[/quote'] Your M is less than 5, so I'd agree with the others, just a bit of bad luck. :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveO Posted June 21, 2008 Share Posted June 21, 2008 Re: Hornet's Strategy Questions. Part 8 If it was a decent amount of money you may consider folding but If you thought that you'd probably fold KK in the same situation and even AA. It's unlikely that you'll ever win a tournament without having to race someone I know I never have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dazdiamonds Posted June 21, 2008 Share Posted June 21, 2008 Re: Hornet's Strategy Questions. Part 8 yes i agree with the others. you were right to isolate short stack all in and were just unlucky to find aa behind you. i know how you feel when you say you get annoyed with yourself because you could of easily cashed,but your looking to try and win the tournament.
