rog 0 Posted April 25, 2005 Share Posted April 25, 2005 Early hand in a low buy-in MTTPokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t20 (9 handed) converterCO (t1860)Button (t1480)Rog (t1480)BB (t1360)UTG (t1360)UTG+1 (t1500)MP1 (t1500)MP2 (t1500)MP3 (t1460)Preflop: Rog is SB with [2d], [4d]. 1 fold, Button calls t20, Rog completes, BB checks.Flop: (t80) [Td], [5d], [7d] (4 players)Rog bets t40, BB folds, UTG+1 calls t400.I like my flush. Could be good...need to know, so I fire heavy. Would anything but a better flush flat call?Turn: (t1520) [7s] (2 players)Rog checks, UTG+1 bets t780 (All-In), Rog folds.Just cant put them all in on a baby flush.Final Pot: t2300So, anyone think I should have called? Is that flop bet too heavy? Wanted to overbet on the flop so I wouldn't get trapped on the turn. Link to post Share on other sites
Guest XXEddie Posted April 25, 2005 Share Posted April 25, 2005 the flop re-raise is WEAK. that was almost the minimum raise, you really shoulda pushed allin there Link to post Share on other sites
rog 0 Posted April 25, 2005 Author Share Posted April 25, 2005 The re-raise put half my stack in. That's as much as I felt I could put in and still get away from it if I was up against a better flush. If my flush was better than T, I would have pushed, but holding 2-4, I'm beat by ANY other flush hand. Link to post Share on other sites

Vade 0 Posted April 25, 2005 Share Posted April 25, 2005 I understand that, but I think going broke is better then basically min reraising Link to post Share on other sites
rog 0 Posted April 25, 2005 Author Share Posted April 25, 2005 yeah...you'r right. It was worse than weak, it was undecisive. The size of his raise left me withonly fold or push as options. If I didn't want to push with a baby flush, I had to fold it right there rather than showing weakness. I was trying to play the flush and leave a back door out, but the raise put me in too deep anyway.An update. I built my stack back up to 1100 with small pots. Got all in with QQ vs A7 off. Ace came on the turn, so on to stud at 9:30. Going to make a night of low buy in tourneys Link to post Share on other sites
