i dont usually use this part of the forum because i dont feel i have the experience to comment on others hands and offer the constructive critisism that would be of help to that player. also most of my mistakes so far are pretty amature (or drunken friday night mad bluffs) and i can work out myself just where i went wrong. however i have a reccurring problem in tourny play that continues to haunt me everywhere i go - had it live at the casino on friday night with JJ against aq which put me out in 11th - top 9 paid- and again in last nights focus 70 odds top 40 paid its gettin to the point where i dread seeing a high pair anywhere near the bubble anyway this is last nights HH - its a classic example of how i would play the had - trying to get heads up with the short stack all in i would really appreciate replies from anyone who would have played the hand differently and their reasons for doing so but all feedback welcome appologies to anyone who seen this last night Game #7958388164: £1.5K Super series (ID8250741) £15+£1.50 - Hold'em NL (300/600) - 2008/10/06 - 22:01:01 (UK) Table "8250741 - 3" Seat 5 is the button.

Re: it keeps happening I'm no expert either but I would have played it the same. For me your all in call was good to isolate the shortstack but you were just unlucky that you were called and he hit his A.
