Message: [QUOTE="ph_il, post: 291716, member: 508"] yng: what kind of tournament is this where the blind is at $100? lol. its true that middle person shouldnt have been playing 4/8. thats just a stoopid play and he got really lucky. let him try that same hand again and again and see how lucky he gets. however, you also made the mistake by not reraising and kicking that person out. you were in perfect position (late) to raise it up and probably wouldve taken the pot right there and collect some blinds. thats what i would have done; its a tournament so i want to collect chips as easily as i can. in my situation, i re-raised him because i believed he was trying to kick me out of the hand. my conservative and tight style of play is pretty known at the casino i go to, so off the bat he would have known that i have a strong hand if im raising it up. (most likely pockets) so if he put me on J/J or Q/Q then that shouldve been an easy fold for me. i pushed all in to emphasize the strength of my hand. im positive if he had any other hand, even A/K he wouldve folded and not risked that much money. i pushed to emphasize strengh and to make him have to decide what to do...its just he happend to have a stronger hand then i did. BTW, i dont believe in slow playing any type of high pockets. even with A/A ill raise big. raising not only builds the pot but protects your hand. nothing worse then having a great hand and losing because you let someone catch with your slow play. i only slow play if i have the nuts, otherwise i play the waiting game and play my hand strong (unless i know/feel im beat). oh...and learn to use periods. they do wonders. lee: true. if he only had 1 A, i was beat on the flop. however, i dont think he or a lot of people wouldve called a $300 PFR with A/x. even A/K its too big of a risk (we had about an even stack). if i'm pushing that much, its very obvious i have very strong hand. and as i said before, my style of play is well known..so they know i wouldnt risk that much on an entire bluff. thor: yes, its very rough..but it doesnt happen that often at all. and not even AA stands up all the time. ive lost nice pots when i had AA and got called with 77 and they hit a set. or worse, someone calling with KJ and they hit 2 pair....
