TopPair2Pair:
Just revisiting a mediocre tournement that I played in the other day ago. There"s a Key hand that I didn"t play and I am just wondering what you guys think and if you would"ve played it differently. Its a cut and shut decision really;either fold or shove.
To set the scene I"ve done well just played a big pot with :as: 9s calling an insta ALLIN from a chump with kd jh we both miss the board completely. My very next hand is ah 9h, with potential 3+ players priced in to a relatively unusal big pot as the tbl has been v tight, pot winner is blatently going to get pushed through to top twenty at the very least. approx 200 players left in the tour, and i"m about 87th as it stands.
Given that I"d just doubled up I didn"t fancy a race, I was going to flat call the BB until the allin comes along and decided to fold. When the Turn comes I was literally going to vinny jones my laptop after driving my car through the front wall of the living room.
Anyway - be interested to hear your thoughts!

biffa85:
nope, fold instantly and don"t worry about the shuuda, wudda, cudda"s.
Just as a side point, when playing online remember that the cards are constantly shuffled, so if you fold and then the board goes on to show that you would have won, then don"t worry, as unless you call at the same time interval AND everyone else also acts in the same time interval then the cards would have been different. Which is very unlikely as your action will probably have an impact on other peoples decisions.
In this case was the decision "correct" yep - no worries!
;D
Departed:
Definite fold. Not a great holding (considering stack sizes) and too many people left to act after you.
Also, Y has got an ok stack...so that push by him in early position is nearly always a pair or AK, so calling would be a clear mistake.
ThinkerJE:
It was the right fold and the right decision. Whatever happens afterwards is irrelevant. You were up against 2 pocket pairs and a better ace. Although frustrating you hit your hand, you made the correct decision.
