do you think I should just call - or going all in was the only reasonable move? Thank you.

Easy shove.

Please post in the correct forum next time.

Yup, I apologize for using the wrong forum.


By the way, the other guy had Q-9 of clubs and a 5th club hit... and it was on the 2nd hand of this MTT which happened to be a sattelite I've been anxiously waiting for, the whole day...

Don't be results oriented in your decisions. You will be ahead the majority of the time here, his hand was actually the only hand possible that has you in big trouble.

Far more often villian has 2 pair, set, flush draw, tptk etc. The biggest mistake is to take a bad beat and become tenative as a result.

You'll never fold here, and as said already, you're likely against a hand you're crushing. In other words, you were being freerolled on. Sucks, but welcome to poker.

Ditto.

But next time fold preflop. Q 9 is an easily dominated hand and you are out of position. It's too early to be playing crappy hands like these.

As played, though, flop play was fine, just a bad beat.



P.S. Does it make me gay for like feeling SINCERELY sorry for this guy because of QUOTE(tantalos @ Thursday, March 29th, 2007, 3:26 PM)
