Exit hand in DTD Super 50

<< < (3/4) > >>

noble1:
duke i agree with deanp that preflop your bet sizing seems large, i"m ok with this if the opponents behind were a bit call happy. On the flop did u have to reason to bet so much? eg- opponent seemed the type to disbelieve aggressive pot size bets or the type who is dead-set on calling any size of bet? In general was it a bet for value or are you trying to make the player fold?

Swinebag:
I"d raise less pre, c bet less on the flop. Other than that, your not folding an overpair at this stage of the tourney so nothing wrong with your play. You want players like that over playing marginals.

To be honest Noble my whole plan was to take his chips and when he called I was certain I would get them. Post flop I thought he might slap all in to a less than pot sized bet. He duly did. I got unlucky. But the reason for the post has been answered re the bet sizes, I agree that the original bet was a wee bit strong, but he still called anyway so I then thought another strong one would get the reaction it did.

I could not get off the hand and I was looking for his chips. What I can"t legislate for is the outcome.

I am a tad aggressive with betting, ignoring the result, I would have lost a better player pre.

So in reality the reason for the post was for future reference and Lesson learned re bet sizing

Unlucky. I have to say, I played in the same tourney and am still reeling. There"s nothing sicker then to sit there for 10 hours and bubble - which is exactly what I did. My AK ran into a monster J10.
I have to say, your table seemed to be the exception in terms of good play. Virtually every hand I observed was open limped from UTG/UTG+1 - terrible

AMRN:
Ger, knowing how you run with AA, this should have been a straight forward fold preflop!!   ;D
