I'm posting this as a hello to the poker forum at 2+2. I play mostly small stakes tourneys at stars. This is a perfect example of a hand that has been happening all to frequently to me. I don't meant this to be a bad beat thread or anything, just an interesting call preflop by the villian here. Should I be playing this way in these tourneys??

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t30 (9 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: 2+2 Forums)

UTG (t1915)
UTG+1 (t885)
MP1 (t1360)
MP2 (t1210)
Hero (t2035)
CO (t1205)
Button (t3960)
SB (t2845)
BB (t3190)

Preflop: Hero is MP3 with K[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], K[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img].
UTG calls t30, UTG+1 raises to t90, 1 fold, MP2 calls t90, Hero raises to t450, 1 fold, Button calls t450, 2 folds, UTG folds, UTG+1 calls t360, MP2 calls t360.

UTG+1 bets t435 (All-In), MP2 calls t435, Hero raises to t1585, Button raises to t2735, MP2 calls t325 (All-In).

Turn: (t7390) Q[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (4 players, 2 all-in)

River: (t7390) 6[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] (4 players, 2 all-in)

Final Pot: t7390
Main Pot: t3615 (t3615), between UTG+1, MP2, Hero and Button. > Pot won by MP2 (t3615).
Pot 2: t975 (t975), between MP2, Hero and Button. > Pot won by MP2 (t975).
Pot 3: t2800 (t2800), between Hero and Button. > Pot won by Hero (t2800).

Results in white below: 
UTG+1 has 2c 2s (one pair, twos).
MP2 has Jd 7c (two pair, jacks and sevens).
Hero has Kh Ks (one pair, kings).
Button has Ac Jc (one pair, jacks).
Outcome: MP2 wins t4590. Hero wins t2800. [/color

You played this hand fine don't worry.
Welcome to the forums a few random things
1. Don't post results in threads
2. Post the buyin and any reads you have so people can give the best advice.

Ok, thank you. I heard this was the best place to go for help. I am very serious about improving my game.

Also, the buy in was 4.40, 180 SNG on stars.

Welcome to the forum!

By the way, does anyone know of some reason why it seems like there have been a ton of seemingly intelligent, but beginner, first time posters in the past few days?

That was a stupid call by the dude with J7. Your play was fine. And welcome to this forum.

ASPoker8 · #8 01-13-2007, 12:16 AM

Good play, pathetic calls. I gotta start playing those tourneys, fulltilt $5 90s actually have good players in them... You did nothing wrong and should have won a monster.

Nicely played, i would have raised the flop a bit more.

Btw, what name do you play under? I play under doctorpaul1, but wont chat to you for another 3 weeks, due to a chat ban!
