Re: How did you get knocked out of the 2005 Main Event?
Just calling the river bet would have been your biggest mistake in the hand. Be glad you didn't make it.

Re: How did you get knocked out of the 2005 Main Event?
Mine was just moving all-in short-stacked in the CO with A5 and getting called by AK.
Uneventful. Johnny Chan had an even shorter-stack in the BB and I was hoping he would be willing to call with a range of hands that I would have an advantage over. But he got out of the way after the button went all-in. Early on, I got up to 18k or so in chips very quickly when I flopped a set of Q's vs. a guy with AA. And 10 minutes later I lost 12k of it with KK v. AA all-in pre-flop. I spent the rest of the day clinging to my 6k or less stack for the most part. I almost feel like there is some player out there who could have gotten away from the KK hand because it was so painfully obvious my opponent had AA.

Why did the manager award him all your chips? From your story it sounds that had him covered. If not, then why is the dealer only took 5k from your stack at first? [/ QUOTE ] I start the hand with 9-10k in chips. The BB has me covered. I put 1k in PF. I put 500 in on the flop. My opponent bets 5k on the river. I push, so I have raised him approximately 3k. He doesn't call, just turns over his hand. The dealer didn't realize what happened and takes 5k out of my stack and starts to return 3k-ish.

[/ QUOTE ] If you just call, you're left with 2k-3k in chips like you said, which MAYBE can give you some life again. But given the way the action went, there's exactly 1 hand in his range that beats you. And since your all-in is only another 2-3k into a pot that's like 15k now, he's gotta call with not only a jack, but also AA, KK, QQ, TT. And the list could be even longer depending on him of course. If your stack was deeper then I think a call can be considered, but given the current conditions it's just too likely that he'll call your all-in with a worse hand to pass up this spot. Basically what I'm saying is that I think those 2-3k in chips have a better shot at being productive for you RIGHT NOW than they do on their own if you just call and lose, despite the fact that they would keep you alive. But like I said, this year is gonna be my first shot so we'll see if I can actually put my money where my mouth is.

Re: How did you get knocked out of the 2005 Main Event?
This is correct.
Just calling the river when AJ, AA or KK have to be WELL within his range would be just silly. It's not like he's going to lay-down many of the worse hands for another 2-3k here. Even with the shaking and all that I don't think you can just put him on quads. If you are REALLY sure he has quads based on his tell then you should just lay it down on the river which I think would be silly. In follow-up post you said the reason you were stunned was because you were 100% sure you had the winning hand. Well, is it 100% sure or not? Hey, I understand all this 2nd-guessing type stuff after losing a big-hand at the main-event. I still replay a couple of the hands I played. But you have to realize that you can't just go blindly putting people on quads everytime you have a monster. You got unlucky. It happens. but pushing with the full-house has to be correct here unless your read on this guy's shaking-tell is THAT rock-solid that you know it can't even be AJ or AA.
