IPO day 2 misplayed hand - views welcome

(1/9) > >>

Marty719:
I know I misplayed it, but sunhow it seemed like the right line in my head at the time. Just to clarify - this hand didnt actually bust me - but majorly crippled me.

67 players left, pay jump at 64 (not massive but def changes the dynamic of hands at this point). I have just been moved to a new table and only have played w/ 2 of the players on it, neither of which were involved w/ this hand. I have 171k, villain has 240ish. Blinds r 5000/10000/1000. Have no prior info on villain at this point but he has a lot of ante chips which leads me to believe he has been playing a fairly agro style.

I bring it in from the c/o for 25k w/ AsQh and villain flats from the BB so 64k in the middle already at this point. Flop comes down KK2 rainbow. Villain checks, I hesitate and check back. This is not the line I would have taken w/ a king but villain has 0 info on me and the standard of play has been pretty grim in this tourney so Im assuming its standard. Turn is 8d putting 2 of board and villain leads 35k. At this stage I thought his range inc a lot of medium pairs, f/d"s and some air, as well of course as some Kx hands. I float the turn to re-evaluate. River brings the Jx and villain insta-checks. Here"s where I think I made a mistake as I think I can check back here a good majority of the time and have a good deal of showdown value, but I wanted to win the pot against the medium pair hands he has, and keeping up my trappy K line, I bet 60k on the river. Villain thinks for a while and re-shoves. FML - I muck.

PF raise is standard, and you now have position. I don"t like the check on the flop, here I would have continued with 35/40k, and you would then have defined your hand, and also be able to evaluate the villains holding. After checking, villain is sensing weakness, hence his lead, again I am coming over the top or baling out at this point.
Your bet on the river after the insta check, I can see your reasoning, but what are you beating? Check behind here and gain some info for later, as it is you have to give up the hand and haven"t learned a great deal. For what its worth I think he hit a J, with a holding of 10 J or Q J.
Pretty good run though Marty, well played  :)

deanp27:
just check back river.

AMRN:
Problem is that with an M of around 7 you are struggling to raise/fold here. Obv the preflop raise is standard. If you had c-bet the flop, it costs you 35k - you spent that 35k on the turn anyway, but found out far less information for your money.  I can see where you"re going with your bet on the river, but it"s such huge proportion of your stack - you effectively put your tourney on the line with a bluff... I hate to be in that spot (been there loads though).

With 17 big blinds, an M of 7, late position, and no knowledge of rest of table...... there might even be an argument for raising bigger preflop and stating your intention to commit to the hand (perhaps even just a blatant shove is in order).

As played, I think I probably check behind on the river and see his cards - then look for spots to shove your remaining short(ish) stack.

Swinebag:
I"m shoving this preflop for value. (M of 7, decent hand in LP)

you are just not deepstacked enough to be smallballing it.

With a 2.5x raise and cbet you are pretty much committed here. so only take your line if you intend to get them in at some point.
