I was playing in the reload 2500 freeroll online tournament last night where the top 10 players make the money. It was down to 11 of us left (the Bubble!) and I was the average chip stack of 15,000. Blinds were 500/1000. On the button, I get 99 and raise to 2000. Big Blind calls. Flop comes down 6,7,8, rainbow, giving me overpair and open ended straight draw. BB checks and I make a pot bet of 4,000, leaving me with a 9,000 stack. BB raises me ALL-IN!! What should I have done…Laid this down in order to make it to the money?..or call to win pot and assure a top position finish????
I decided to call and was knocked out of the tourny and out of the money in 11th place against AA!!! Very Frustrating. Note – BB had been playing very loose and aggressive all night!!
Anyways – did I make the right call?
Thanks – had to vent about this 1!!!
