Tourney hand (S/8)

[Alchemist]

Game is tight-aggressive. No one sees 4th for just the BI.

How many mistakes here? I should have completed the BI.
If it was anyone else besides AndyB I probably bet 6th, but Andy doesn't fold (he did have a pair after all).

You played it fine, and I probably would have folded if you had bet sixth. /images/graemlins/grin.gif

[benwood]

It may be that the way you played it was the best,but I'm not sure.It feels like some aggression was needed somewhere.

One option would be to re-raise third.Your hand is competitive with the range of hands he would raise with in this position for sure.

Or maybe bet into him on either 4th or 6th.

[Scott Y.]

You might consider raising 5th. You have many outs when behind, and your hand looks a lot like a 4-low, 4-flush and may force Villain to fold immediately, or to a scary board on 6th (like the J/images/graemlins/club.gif). This line could also lead to a free showdown or river bluff UI.

You mean coming in for the full bring in? Was that an effective way of taking down a pot uncontested? I think I would rather limp in and re-raise on 3rd. I would also have raised 5th.

[Alchemist]

The concensus is that I should have played it more aggressively and I agree. Since Andy kept catching decent cards I hesitated.

Andy, do you think your bet on 5th was kind of thin? What's your plan if I raise you here?

Call and hope you catch another small club so that I can save a couple of bets.
