The last hand before the break preceding the last level of the day, we've had what can be considered the Hand of the Tournament. A little Asian guy to the immediate left at Patrik Antonius had been playing back at his famous opponent a couple of times already, when the following hand came up. From the cutoff, Patrik made it 1,000 to go, and then the little Asian guy reraised it to 3,200 from the button. Patrik then responded by reraising to 9,000, and after some deliberation, the young guy called. The flop then came Q42 - and Patrik moved all-in for 34,500. Again, the Asian guy took his time. Slowly but surely, a large crowd gathered round the table, as people could see this could be a massive hand. And massive it was, as the Asian had the courage to make an absolutely fantastic call - calling the overbet of the pot with a mere AJ - for no pair, no draw!

I think u played the hand pretty good but as always in those really sick pots every action could have gone differently. Just hearing about the pot and your thought process makes me think that the preflop call might actually have been better then just pushing pre if u think he was going to checkfold most missed flops, the problem is that he might hit his rags. And he could actually have something, but I guess u were so sure he was gonna checkfold when he missed so that u might have folded alot of flops if he would have bet (ie if he would have a hand)

When the flop comes everything changes and u have to make a totally new read (almost), as u said the bet is designed to get a lot of folding equity from u and it basically elliminates all sets and overpairs, and anything else he would probably checkfold or bet small and fold for an all in bet from u. Only hand u are scared of is AK in my mind.

I have the same thought process as u alot of the times in the sick and big pots and its exaclty like that:

"Omg im so sick why am i even thinking baout this"

"Im going to look so stupid when I have no outs, im going to be ashamed"

"But every molecule in my body want me to call"

Then comes the final thoought that I always have and its the same every time:

"I dont know what I should do here but if I go against something that my body is screaming is right what sort of human being would I be?"

Then u call, and ur always good. (Instinct is hugely underrated)

I guess what I want so say is, theres no way u can fold this hand, its basically the second nuts.

And because we are young degenerate pokerplayers that dont really care about money and just grinding it out for an ITM as much as playing good poker at all times this becomes a pretty abvious call.


In Sweden we say: "shrug, what should I do, I cant fold"


Im gonna show Patrik this post I think he will find it to be an interesting read.

GL in the future m8!
