I then laid down top pair against Kinboshi, I said he had nothing but he priced me out so I laid "em down, he actually had trip 2s! Complete mis read but the correct lay down!
Oh how the poker gods do use us for their sport.

I knew I should have just called the turn. But I think the call would have aroused your suspicions anyway. Why couldn"t you have fallen in love with your top pair and then re-popped me for all your chips?
;D

If I remember rightly, I didn"t have that many!!!

By the way James, loved your 2,000 bet at the 400-800 level (or thereabouts) leaving you with 500 behind. Genius.

It was actually 1,000-2,000 blinds and I only had 2,500 left. I saw an ace and thought I would have a bit of fun by just limping and keeping 500 back. Was not to be...

I folded QQ v AA in the Scottish APAT last season on a JT3 flop. Would have folded KK too. Trusted my read then.
That was the last hand before the dinner break. It wasn"t an all-in bet though.

I was at the same same table and saw this first hand.
THE SINGLE GREATEST LAYDOWN I HAVE EVER SEEN!!!

My thinking on this is that it is too much risk to take so early in a deep stack tournament. With no prior knowledge I give credit to my opponent and pass. If he has a single ace I am only 70%, and if I double up so early the relevent value of the extra chips does not outweigh busting out. To win the tournament you have reach the final table first, again insta fold for me.
