Crash & Burn in the Warm-up...thoughts on hand.

(1/2) > >>

Sugarnes:
Howdi to the great and the good.  Played the Warm-up yesterday and stormed out first level in a blaze of glory (well that"s the way I like to see it!).  Be interested in people"s view on the hand I crashed and burned on. 

Early on no big stack changes, no action of note, no read on anyone and I"m at 9.2kish. Blinds 25/50
I"m in mid-late position with 6c6d.  About 3 limpers behind - I follow - and another in front then BB raises it to 3-4BB.
UTG+1 (first to act hereafter the villian) and me call - leaving me in position with 3 seeing the flop and about 600 in the pot.

Flop:
ac 7c 6s

BB makes roughly a pot-sized bet (chat reveals after had AQ).
Villian re-raises to about 1800.

Decision (a) - pot now about 3k - enough strong hands out there that I"m well ahead of that fit with opponents play AK, AQ, A7, A6 (wider imo for BB) but at this stage wrong though this may be I"m happy to take a nice pot here and now and not worry about flush or straight draws. 

I re-raise it up to about 3.8k.  Leaving just over 5k behind.  BB folds, Villian shoves putting me all in.

Decision (b) - I now think draws are less likely but both that and big aces or 2-pair options are good possibilities.  Villian reveals 77 for better set, turn gives brings qc giving me the unlikely flush but river bricks.

In retrospect I think my main error is that the bulk of my analysis is after the event - at the time I didn"t think it through properly and didn"t really have a plan. 

Be as plain as you see fit - I"m a nit I can take it.

cincicrappykid:
i dont see what u did wrong here . no reads and early early on just unlucky u ran set over set which is very unlikely ...looked like a  draw betting you off the pot

deanp27:
don"t sweat set under set too much, unlucky.

i"d have probably jammed flop or called rather than the raise you chose to make but the money would go in anyway.

be realistic, at what point would you fold?

AMRN:
A simple cooler.

I suggest that in a standard online tourney, if you don"t go bust here, you"re too passive. Didn"t matter how you played this on the flop, it was all going in...

Roscopiko:
cooler and you should always be going broke here imo
