hero runs bad...freezes and forgets how to play cards??!!
okay...quick background...was running good for a while and hit a stone wall...still getting my money in very well majority of time but hit the inevitable 2 outer trail...next step is of course...the ass backward step where I call when i should fold and fold when i should call...not as bad as I used to have it but not fully at zen yet...
okay onto the hand...looks simple but please list my mistakes...8 rebuy on stars...been bleeding chips and semiout of sorts...should I have pushed this pre? He was opening a fair number of pots? bet flop after check (seems best)...push over turn raise (borderlin but not impossible) Poker Stars No Limit Holdem Tournament Blinds: t400/t800 (Ante: t75) 9 players UTG: t9204 UTG+1: t30952 MP1: t8073 MP2: t21863 MP3: t31943 Hero: t18968 Button: t18554 SB: t32283 BB: t14980 Pre-flop: (9 players) Hero is CO with A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] Q[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] UTG folds UTG+1 raises to t2400 Hero calls t2400 3 folds Flop: (t6675) 2[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 9[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 7[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] UTG+1 checks Hero checks Turn: (t6675) 8[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] UTG+1 bets t4800 Hero folds Uncalled bets: t4800 returned to UTG+1. Final pot: t6675 |

Re: hero runs bad...freezes and forgets how to play cards??!!
if hes opening a lot and you think theres a good chance you are ahead here, you have nice size stack to shove PreF with. as played, i think its fine. ive encountered a lot of villains who will raise preF w KK or AA and look to c.r the flop.

I would fold this.
UTG opens 3xBB and knows he is committed if anyone calls - further he doesn't push with M=5 but raises. I think you have no FE if you shove and well be a underdog most of the times. Stack sizes are too low here to play this one postflop, so I'd just muck it preflop. |

lev..dunno...maybe it was being card dead but in my mind I was thinking call or push...short as I was and given standard payout structures I can't see folding here...course that may be because I've been living in turbo land for too long also!!!!!

[/ QUOTE ] its UTG+1 not UTG and he has an M of about 13 or 14 didnt' do the math. There's FE but I don't think he folds after opening early for 3x. BTW i think this is a fold as well to an early position raiser because if he's any competant at all he range is far ahead of ours. |

Re: hero runs bad...freezes and forgets how to play cards??!!
funny thing is that if I hadn't been running like dogchit I may have folded this...poor mental state plays and also the Barry philosophy about everyone else being total donkeys also kicked in...

[/ QUOTE ] yes - you're completly right of course (i shouldn't post while i'm at work and diverted). This changes the hand somehow - I think you are too deep for pushing this over the UTG+1 raiser and too shallow for a lower c-bet - I think the call was fine. On the flop your check was good imo - this looks like an check-raise attempt and turn as well. So nothing wrong with the hand imo. |

I agree, I think you played the hand optimally, you have to smash the flop to continue, but the hand is too good not to see a flop vs an aggro.

Re: hero runs bad...freezes and forgets how to play cards??!!
I think it's close btw making it like 9k/calling and shoving pre. Calling is tough b/c u could still get squeezed and UTG+1 is going to c-bet most flops when u miss. On flop u have to bet, UTG+1 is not checking this flop with an overpair unless it's AA, since your range here is mostly PP's. Shoving the turn is bad, b/c u can't rep anything after u check the flop.

Re: hero runs bad...freezes and forgets how to play cards??!!
erc...hence the frozen hero title...without seeing his cards I still think I should have pushed pre and if checked to pushed flop...as I butchered it I have no issue with the turn fold...freezing up in crucial spots is a sign of the poker apocolypse for me so I'm gonna go into drydock for a bit
