i feel like throwing up everytime i look at this HH. I really do not know what is worse..the Preflop call with ATo after a raise and a reraise..the postflop reraise call..or the bet call on the turn. I am so sick right now.

[ChuckP]

Yeah man I feel you. Cold calling the flop after a huge bet and raise is just sick. But these are the kind of players that you want to play with. It was a sick runner runner though.

Lol.. "This was for 1st/2nd place in the tourney"

Blinds and 25/50?

Someone is a bit confident.

Edit: It's the daily 20k.. You had to outlast another 3k players, yeah.. a 19k stack that early will definetely seal the deal for you.

ok firstly..i said it was very early in the tournament (about 2.3k players left). Secondly, i never said that if i won the hand i was going to win the tournament. Thirdly, whats wrong with being confident?. Lastly..are you sexually frustrated?

This is close to the worst beat you have ever taken??
















































I envy you

1.) Exactly, which is why you shouldn't be raising with 79s from UTG+1
2.) You should have worded it differently.
3.) Confidence (or I think this is more of cockiness) is -EV in tournies. Pessimism is also -EV, but being cocky and thinking this hand will lead you the to glory land will more than likely end in sadness
4.) Yes, I am.

LOL.....I have given worse beats than that! Runner Runner Dueces to make Quads when a guy flop a set of Aces.

1.) It's my style of play early on in tournaments when I've been running the table over since i first sat down.
2.) What's wrong with how i worded it..I said (very early..but still).
3.) Being confident is a big part of my game. I find that when I'm feeling confident in the way that I'm playing, i tend to play much better. Moreover, nowhere in my post did i claim that this hand was going to lead me to glory. I simply claimed that at that point in time in the tournament, it was one of the bigger pots that would have catapulted me to the top 5 in chips early on in the tournament.
4.) Maybe i can help.

As for the beat..if you take into account how baddddddddddd this guy played the hand, that is what makes it one of the worst beats I've taken..not percentage-wise (I know it was only a two outer on the river).

Fold PF. It's only a bad beat because you got severely lucky on the flop...

the point is that i decided to raise preflop with my 9s7s..and the point is that i flopped a set of 9's..and the point is that i wasnt a severe underdog before the flop at all actually..and the point is that the guy who was in the hand played it really bad and got incredibly lucky..just in case you didnt notice what the point of the post was.

( I.E. not to criticize my preflop play and how lucky i got on the flop. )
