ladies event wsop

Edit - whether or not Daniel Negreanu can limp here I believe is irrelevant for the OP, as it should to most posters here. He is incredibly creative and a brilliant hand-reader. So the fact that he can limp w/ bad hands I don't think should influence advice you give to someone else who is newer to tournaments.

yes im newer to tournaments, but compared to most of the ladies i played with today, i was not at all. they were generally EXTREMELY inexperienced. ive been playing poker for 9 years (6 as a pro). not nl tournaments though. not trying to say im good, just saying in comparison. i know that's hard to believe seeing how i played this hand.

Well based on more information, I don't think you played it as badly as I initially thought. Generally speaking I wouldn't be over-limping w/ hands like A-9 off-suit, but I can understand it (somewhat) here b/c you knew people were limping w/ trashy hands and that the table was very inexperienced (and hence passive?).

However, I still disagree w/ your river value bet. The ONLY hands you are beating are a worse 9, or something like 8-7. anything else that is calling you beats you. the elderly lady bet into 4 people on the flop - she obviously likes her hand somewhat...and she continued on the turn (though she bet meagerly). the pot is already quite big, i'd be happy to showdown for nothing more.

i would almost always just check behind on river, but my gut told me i had the best hand, and that she probably had a worse 9 and would call. again, bad bad read.

i like a check on the river.

since you made a pretty thin value bet, you HAVE to fold to the check/raise when you learn that you were incorrect in your assessment.

Im just saying that the guy called it a pure spew play. I think thats way too simplistic.

lol, my sister is playing in this event (still alive with 66 left) and I have to concur they are exceptionally bad, many many times worse than the regular 1500 MTTs which are not so star studded themselves.

I will give one example:

Blinds 300-600 with 75 ante. She has 4000 left. Button raises to 2k. Jenn (my sister) uses the old stop+go with A5o. Flop comes KQ9, she pushes for her last 2k. Pot has whatever, like 5k chips in it, and she shows TT and throws it in the muck.

[suzy89222]

yes, they are AWFUL overall. you cannot even compare it to the regular 1500 MTTs. i can't stress how bad many of them are. they are in a constant state of confusion, but not because they are females OBVIOUSLY. it is because of total lack of experience.
