Not a bad beat, just a stupid move

I was trying to get deep in this $2 tourney when I got a little antsy. After 3 hours of playing it gets tedious. It sent the winner up to second place

VUL there but if it's any comfort you played it quite well. Flat-calling the raise with your stack is fine but in a $2 tourney it's easier just to push. You will see what I mean after being in this situation more that once against unknown players. In this case, njm is trying a bully/stack size move and nothing but. He/she will rarely show up with a big hand here.

PS It's good to see a poker hand posted on CM even if I put you down, just a little

Good luck at the tables,

Swede

You're #2 at your table calling a 3 bet shove with JJ? It's a pretty easy fold IMO.

I seriously thought he hit a pair and was chasing everyone out, oh well, at least it wasn't a $50 buy in.

I am learning poker more and more, with the casino situation I decided to turn to poker a little more.

I welcome any comments, it can only help, but this was a dumb raise, lol.

I may post a nice winner if I ever get that far.

[catrina m]

The nines played a factor again, maybe I can hang on to place in this one. Still a long way to go, if I don't post an outcome you will know I donked out, lol

Are you being serious ? Its an instant shove for me. What on earth are you waiting for ? AA KK ? Also a $2 multi lol and you want to fold jj ? I take it your a losing player ?

There was nothing dumb about your play at all, With your flat call you was allways geting your chips in with that flop. As allready stated,It was a push pre for me .

Now i hate this play cat . What on earth are you doing going allin 1st to act on flop ?

[catrina m]

Still in but probably not for long

You're #2 at your table calling a 3 bet shove with JJ? It's a pretty easy fold IMO.

You're kidding, right?

The player that shoved all in barely had over 2 BB's left. The re-raise only amounted to a 3x total BB bet.

You're going to fold JJ in that situation, with 3 players in the hand and 1 all-in...with a sidepot heads up against the other player? I only have one word for that:

NIT!


As it was stated before, are you waiting on QQ,KK,AA to play? Or maybe overplay AQ/AK in that situation? Of course not.....

Think about it:

$125 ante
$600 SB
$1200 BB

At a full 9 seat table, it's costing you $2925 in chips every round.

And you're going to fold JJ pre to a 3x BB raise? In position? On the Button?
