Four left in a PS $5 + .5 27 player sng, where did I play this wrong?PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t600 (4 handed) converterHero (t9505)SB (t3674)BB (t13466)UTG (t13855)Preflop: Hero is Button with [Td], [As]. UTG raises to t1800.Flop: (t3750) [Tc], [4h], [5c] (2 players)UTG bets t1800, Hero calls t1800.Turn: (t7350) [6h] (2 players)UTG bets t10205 (All-In), Hero calls t5855 (All-In).River: (t23410) [5h] (2 players, 2 all-in)Final Pot: t23410He showed KK and took me out.Should I have decided to not mess with the chip leader and not have called his UTG raise with ATos on the button? Should I not have called the flop bet or the turn all-in? (His flop bet seemed like an attempt to take down the pot if he had KQ, AQ, etc, and his turn all-in just made it seem more so.)Thanks.

I didn't like one step!I don't know the player but if he's reasonable you should have folded pre-flop

Fold preflopRaise this flop, you've hit your best possible card (make it about 4K), you can still fold if he reraises you allin

Also, don't call an allin with TPTK.

Terrible. No way do you call that with ATo IMHO. There are only 4 left and I'm sure the difference in money between 3rd and 4th was substantial, why risk the whole tourney on TPTK? Especially TT? As a rule don't mess with the chip leader unless you have a very strong hand, pick off the low guy trying to double up as his hands will be weaker.I wouldn't call preflop, and definately not the all-in. You want to be the bettor, not the caller here.

I think the call preflop is fine. You're four handed for Christ's sake. A10 is a strong enough hand to take a flop. You can't nut peddle when you're four handed in a tourney.Where u went wrong, You didn't raise the flop and allow yourself to get away from this pot if you were beat.re Raise the flop fold to a reraise.

Disagree. Why take a chance at calling with an offsuit hand? There's a really short stack thereEdit. How many paid in this tourney? I'd guess more then 3 then...still folding

[Scott3705]

there's a 900 preflop pot, so I'm raising UTG with A9, kq, kj and almost any pair. Why take a chance with the hand? Because you have position and have a pretty strong hand short handed. If the short stack is just sitting around, he's not going away for awhile either.
