Level 4 of a Stars MTT. I've been playing very LAG, seeing lots of flops, and dancing around many pots. So my table image is exactly where I want it when this hand comes up:



PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t100 (9 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FCP)

CO (t2485)
Button (t1985)
Hero (t2145)
BB (t840)
UTG (t1035)
UTG+1 (t1585)
MP1 (t1405)
MP2 (t2795)
MP3 (t2795)

Preflop: Hero is SB with K , A .
6 folds, Button raises to t400, Hero raises to t2145, 1 fold, Button calls t1585 (All-In).

Flop: (t4230) T , 8 , Q (2 players, 1 all-in)

Turn: (t4230) T (2 players, 1 all-in)

River: (t4230) 2 (2 players, 1 all-in)

Final Pot: t4230

Results in white below:
Hero has Ks As (one pair, tens).
Button has Qc Ad (two pair, queens and tens).
Outcome: Button wins t4070. Hero wins t160.

The way Villain hesitated for a second it just screamed of a "dont call me" bet, and I put him on exactly what he had: an Ace-rag. Having said that, I figured Villain would see this push of mine as a re-steal and call anyway (he actually told me after I busted out that's exactly why he called). I still believe this play of mine was correct but wanted to hear some thoughts. Obviously, if I call and the flop comes out the way it did I can get away from the hand. I guess also if an Ace comes I can stack the Villain anyway, but a 77% favorite to double up in a small tourney would give me so much more ammunition that the table would then realllly hate me.

It's the definition of standard.

BBFIDTS.

Well, you say you were LAG during this tourney, so can you honestly be upset about the guys call?
Don't get me wrong, I like your play, he probably thought you were pushing with ace rag
But in the end, you just got unlucky.. plain and simple

QFT..You could have been playing TAG, LAG, or not at all..This is probably the easiest decision your going to make all tourney

noob posts are so lame

So standard it's sick. If you can think of something else to do here, you're crazy.

Also, DON'T post results, even in white.

Also, don't post retarded hands for the purpose of showing that you got sucked out on.

Locked.
