I am guessing you had the already secure before that AK hand? Otherwise that's awful.

Just enjoying the best of both worlds.

Actually I want to play more tables. I want to be just like MTTR.

I'm dead certain I wouldn't have made it folding, but looking back, regardless of any factors whatsoever I agree that was a retarded move there [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

[MyTurn2Raise]

you would've made it easy just using up the entire clock every move

[Mr_Donktastic]

You may have made it just by folding.

But you don't have to fold EVERY hand - you should still steal blinds here and there to try to stay even but you def DON't want to play big pots vs other big stacks.

The other guy with the QQ should folded too fwiw.

[Landlord79]

With the blinds at 2000/4000, I'd be making it 10k to go with any speculative hand but avoiding big pots like the plaig.

[jhill3535]

There were 2 people at your table with fewer chips, and you had an M of 10. The JT is somewhat reasonable, but after big stack raises you have to dump AK there. 50% of the time here you have no seat. You need to be reasonably sure that if you fold you don't get a seat more than 50% of the time for a push to be correct there.

lol made it, but I've definitely learned my lesson about playing these things, thanks for the help guys [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Simple Question not worthy of a thread. I hated my shove right away. Is there any reason to jam this or should I just shove any turn regardless and allow a bluff on the turn. c/r is weird here.
