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

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.
 
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

You're #2 at your table calling a 3 bet shove with JJ? It's a pretty easy fold IMO.
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 ?
 
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?
 
Now i hate this play cat . What on earth are you doing going allin 1st to act on flop ?

It wasn't that bad of a play. Check the flop - there's a flush draw and straight draw possible. Why risk giving them a free card to hit their hand? Make them pay for it. :)
 
I got 160th out of 6000

won $18 bucks, oh well how was this call, a bad beat or stupid

Theres nothing to think about here tho, You have hit the 2nd nuts and WANT paying off,You dont want them folding.Its an instant check.Theres no way with action preflop they are both checking this flop. let 1 of them lead out , then bang em in :)

I am afraid this is car crash poker cat. Them low buy in multis are donk fests. Personally i would be allin here preflop or DEFO reraise pre. By looks of it you do to much calling.USE your reraise button. Believe me you will get more respect and win more. Hope this helps.
 
Rereading and looking at chip counts,I am ALLIN pre. diane isnt calling and you would of won this pot. The other was bullying. :thumbsup:
 
Look at the postion diane is limping in with qd 9d lololol As i say its a donkfest . Please put more of these up. They really do show how bad players are.
