RuleBritannia Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 Can't help thinking I bottled this one. Would you have made the same decision as I did here? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubermonkey1 Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 Re: Fold or Not? i think it's most likely a good fold:ok unless he's been really aggressive or maybe got a draw i cant see he would be calling then pushing:unsureseems too dangerous a bet by him with nothing.

The Quiet Man Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 Re: Fold or Not? We'll never know if he hit trips......but if you're going to play crap like A9o then you need to raise pre-flop to get rid of hands like J2 that could be sitting in the blinds. :ok After hitting 2 pair on the flop you need to re-raise more than $240....Murlin only has to put $180 into a $600 pot and if he has a Jack then it's an easy call for him if he thinks you're sitting on 1 pair.:cry Bet hard when you have a hand and you will get paid off.:D You're still in the Tourney so the fold was the correct play if you thought you were behind.:ok Good luck:hope TQM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I limped as someone had limped before me, so I was just trying to see a cheapish flop more than anything. Probably the wrong thing to be doing. I get what you mean by the raise size. That's very much a part of the game that I need to get to grips with, I don't really know how much I should be raising certain hands etc..... So, I will heed that advice wisely. Thanks. I definitely think I was behind, as he went all in without his timer even moving. Every other play he had been taking some time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubermonkey1 Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 Re: Fold or Not? tqm is right about the pre flop raise i think. thats part of the problem on the rest of the hand as he could have pretty much anything,at least by raising you can narrow down his posible range a little:ok Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every other play he had been taking some time. i tend to raise 3xbb early in a tourney, then once the blinds get sizable maybe drop to 2.5bb. if i have less than 10bb then i just push:ok. by raising a standard amount every time you dont really give away any extra info, so i might have rubbbish or aa. some players will alternate their raise sizes but this might give extra info to your opposition unless your carefull how you do it;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJ Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 Re: Fold or Not? There you have to let it go. Gut feel is you should have let it go preflop although it's impossible to be sure as I know know the structure of the game, there is a solid case for a preflop raise in a cash game, but in a tournement esp early, it's an insta fold Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
