reedmcneal 0 Posted June 19, 2006 Share Posted June 19, 2006 I know you made approximations but 1200 chips disappeared in 2nd hand, regardless...I would call. You are risking less than 1/4 of your stack to win the tournament. Others have proven that they will push/call push with marginal hands. AQ is great in a 3 handed game, and you probably have the best hand. Even if you lose you are still the chip leader.EDIT: I was assuming that the tourney was down to 3. Guess not Link to post Share on other sites

reedmcneal 0 Posted June 19, 2006 Share Posted June 19, 2006 it wasnt back-to-back hand so chip counts should differOh, I thought the tourney was 3-handed at the time. Gotcha.Was it an MTT or SNG? How many people were left? Link to post Share on other sites
Actuary 3 Posted June 19, 2006 Share Posted June 19, 2006 why don't you list the other players and payouts and all that other stuff we need.but of course given your 1 hand example this is an easy call. Link to post Share on other sites
mk 11 Posted June 20, 2006 Share Posted June 20, 2006 the correct play was to pull a lighter out of your pocket and set those two cards on fire, reducing the probability of being dealt that combination in the future. Link to post Share on other sites

reedmcneal 0 Posted June 21, 2006 Share Posted June 21, 2006 Reluctant call Link to post Share on other sites
XXEddie 0 Posted June 21, 2006 Author Share Posted June 21, 2006 I decided to call based on the fact that even if I called and lost, I would still have 7000, and I truely doubted I would be dominated more than 1/4th of the timeVillian 1 showed 44Villian 2 showed QJ(see....donkey)the flop was KJT......so that took care of everything Link to post Share on other sites
