Ukipt Hand
Swinebag:
Whilst peeling with JJ is fair enough this early in the donkament, it goes against everything you said in your initial read. Surely by peeling you have started a peel fest meaning you need to hit a specific flop to continue with this hand. This is as good a flop as you could expect without flopping a set. However, if your read is correct, it is unlikely CD is c betting light here, unless I"m missing something.
Given the reads, I 3 bet pre.
As played I would normally flat but with 4 to act, I raise flop / fold to reraise / kick myself for spewing.
PS - pretty sure "retard" and "mongo" are very inappropriate and disrespectful labels for fellow players.
could you give us more than 20 minutes next time before posting the result.

He was just gutted that he didn"t get your chips... good fold ;)
Just going to run a hand I won earlier, which hopefully shows the benefits of a raise.....
Hero 4605
Villian 3540
blinds 20/40
I have the button with ad1 kd
Cut off raises to 120
I re-raise to 280
Villian calls and so does cut off
Pot is 880
Flop ks 8d jh
Villian checks, cut off checks and I bet 400
SB insta min raises me to 800
Now I am pretty sure what hand he has KK, KJ, JJ, 88 or AA
Given that he raises KK or AA pre, I can discount them. Anyway I make the call to re-evaluate on the turn.
Pot is now 2480
Turn is now a :2d:
This obviously keeps me interested and sb bets 800.
This bet suggests he is pretty big so i put him on 88 or JJ now.
So I call this bet with the flush draw in tow, knowing full well that I will fold to any paired board or I miss my draw. The pot is pretty big as well and I am sure I can stack the villian if it hits.
Pot is now 4080
River is a bingo 6d
Villain bets 1320
I put him all in and he has to call.
10k pot.
Raising works kids ;D
Villain is not a real villain btw
I Q8Holds I:
Sorry will post results later in other threads ;) and i wasnt expecting so many caller maybe 1 or 2. raising pre would lose the value of the hand a bit i think and make a big pot/hard decisions early on which i didnt want
I Q8Holds I:
I find online diffrent to Live +Stack sizes/strucutre of tournament. But yeh i dont think it particularly right or wrong to 3bet either of those hands...

Not true, you are maximising the value of your hand and finding out where your hand is. I think this is more important early on in a tournament as you can pick up some chips off the spewy players with stronger holdings (allowing for variance of course).
Your decisions will be easier in the long run as you learn about your opponent and put people to the test.
However for this particular hand, I think Chris destroyed his hand value by betting so much (perhaps), and it worked out well for you as you can find that fold button.
