Message: [QUOTE="fundiver199, post: 6627577, member: 397965"] Yes exactly. And against multible opponents as well. Not quite sure what you mean by this. You were 35BB effective against the original raiser, which is very normal for a tournament. CO and BTN however were each only 11-12BB deep. Did you think, this was good or bad for you? By the way CO and BTN should never be just calling this shallow. They should always either jam or fold, which just goes to show, how soft a 1$ MTT is. Its a very common misconception, that you are getting better pot odds, when multible people have already called, and therefore you should defend your blinds wider. You can even hear commentators say this in older TV poker shows. But actually its just the opposite. Yes pot odds are better, but your equity is worse, since you are competing against not one but three other hands, and there are more people fighting for the ante and the dead small blind. And its not like T2 offsuit is an implied odds type hand, where its good to have multible opponents, because it increase your chance to get paid off. Most commonly you will flop a pair of T with no kicker, or you will flop bottom pair. And those hands would rather be against just one opponent as opposed to three. Because then you can usually check-call a C-bet and perhaps get yourself to showdown. Whereas multiway you generally need to check-fold, even when you flop a pair. No it wont end your tournament to stick in the extra blind preflop. But each of these small negative EV decisions, we make, reduce our long term results. And sometimes it can lead to a snowball effect, where we end up losing a big pot, as was the case here. So why not just clean up these small preflop mistakes, if your goal is to play well and make money? Of course if you just want to have some fun for your one dollar investment and see some flops, thats ok as well. But then there is no reason to share the hand to a forum and ask, if you should fold or call ;) [/QUOTE]
