I'm not sure if this should be here or in the Multi-Table forum. I'm posting it here because my friend wanted me too. If it should be moved please do the moving Mods.
This is a friends hand not my own. It's his words and not my own:
i played in my first wsop event - the $1500 NL. with starting blinds at 25-25 and only 1500 starting chips, they really don't give you much room to manuever and splash around. quick scenario - still level 1 : i'm in the cut-off with AJ. one late position limper so i raise to 125. blinds fold, limper calls (this guy just moved to our table so i have no read on him at all). flop comes A-3-3. he checks, i check behind. turn is a Q. he leads for 175 into the 300 pot. i raise to 400 total. he re-raises another 400. dilemma time. i only have 1000 left so it's either fold or push. it's hard to put him on AQ or AK since he limped in late position and i don't put him on a 3 calling a raise out of position. what would you do in this situation? i went in the tank and really felt that was a probe re-raise and he might've had a weaker A or KQ. i ended up pushing all-in... overplayed my AJ and got smashed by quad 3's. with such a small amount of starting chips - was this a justifed play or should i have def. picked a better spot ??
