Message: [QUOTE="redboy23, post: 6421478, member: 384323"] Hello Andyreas, Pitty that your premium cards did not win :cry:, but allow me to point out some ideas here. It is great that you are reviewing the hand and getting feedback from others.(y) I enjoy getting ideas from others too and invite you to check out my [URL='https://www.cardschat.com/forum/poker-goals-challenges-and-wins-46/zero-builder-poker-challenge-506172/']Zero bankroll Builder Challenge.[/URL] The first idea here is that you probably did not have enough chips to put pressure on the villain. This is something that a bigger stack can do. So the villain has you covered and his tourney is not at risk. Second, if you do not connect with the cards after a 3 x BB bet or raise pre-flop, you can check back and allow the villain to take some action. I have played hands like this and placed the villain on two overcards and call all bets down to the river to rake in a huge pot with small pairs. A check can be a powerful bid, especially when you expect a villain to continue betting.

It has happened to me, I shove as the short stack, get action from 4 callers and one of them chases the others away only to lose to me and make me happy. Just like that, you are back in the game. :LOL: Kudos to you on the initial play. Many persons would have just shoved with AQ and probably shrugged at the loss and say "that's poker", but to get in there and play out the hand and then make a big fold to remain in the tournament, can lead to a great result if you find the discipline. Keep fighting at the table, but not those battles that you are not a favourite and are expecting to lose. :cool: See you at the tables. [/QUOTE]
