Good play ?

[Alexpoker]

Hi,

Middle of a 2$ tournament.

Hero : 6000
Villain1 : 2800
VIllain 2 : 5400

Villain 1 is all in UTG (very agressive player)
Hero (UTG+1) : KK Calls (not quickly)
Villain 2 (SB) calls

Flop : J [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 2 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 9 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]

Hero is all in.
Villain 2 calls.

Bad play, good play ??

I was looking to win as much chips as possible.

Thanks

finally some good strat for micro limits, newer players take notes on how to play KK in a $2 tournament. i'm usually sarcastic but here i'm not this is a good play in this tournament.

do you still push if an ace hits? i'm really not sure that i like the call pre flop rather than an all in raise unless there are aggressive players after who are going to push behind.

randal can you please explain your reasoning?

[hamnegger]

he got called so i think he ran into a set this isnt a bad though you got fancy if he has ace jack you made a killing. i think 99 or jj though

[Alexpoker]

Yes, the risk is the set. But I wanted to take this risk to try to win a lotButI don't think Villain2 would risk half his chips with JJ or 99.

Villain 1 had 22. But villain 2 had AK and he catchs an A on the river [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]. So I don't know if my play was EV+ or not. I think yes

What is the size of the big blind?

The only other way to play this hand would have been to push pre-flop in an attempt to isolate villian 1. I don't dislike the call though. You have a very strong hand. Don't be results oriented. If you were going to just call pre-flop in an attempt to get another player to call while he is behind, pushing any non Ace flop (and perhaps any flop at all) is a good move. I don't want to check and give someone a chance to suck out with an A. You're way ahead 75+% of the time on this flop. It sucks that villian 1 hit a set, but that's the way it goes sometimes. It also sucks that villian 2 hit an A, but he called with only 3 outs or about 13% to hit his A on the turn or river, and even then, he could only win the side pot. Good play
