[RealMcCoy]

Recap / Analyze /Critique 3 hands from a recent WSOPC EVENT

Situation Mid tourney 50% gone
1) HERO Starting chips 2000 Current Chips 4600 level 100/200 no ante been at same table all day

Villain #1 (straight forward fairly tight weak) chips 3300 first position raises to 700

HERO Folded to Hero in cutoff With AK off suit - Hero flat calls

Villain # 2 BB (Good player knowledgeable tends to LAG style but NOT reckless) after two minutes pushes.
Initial chip count by dealer is stated as $2450 for the All in -
Villain # 1 "Calls" the all in - Hero asks again and he states "I'M just calling" Dealer recounts chips and the actual RAISE AMOUNT is $2750 to $3450 which puts Villain #1 all in regardless.

HERO analysis
Villain #1 comfortable from the talk that Villain #1 has TT JJ or less likely AQ/AK but sure he does not have AA OR KK. He would have made sure he attempted to raise with either AA OR KK

Villain #2 is perfectly capable of making this move from the BB with any mid high pairs TT JJ QQ and obviously with AA or KK.

Pot is now $7500 with a raise of $2750 to me to call. HERO Calls

Villain #1 JJ
Villain #2 QQ
Hero AK off

Results (not that they matter King flops Queen turns) Villain #2 wins pot.

All reasoned thoughts as to why I should push /Raise/ Raise more or Less /Fold appreciated.

[gobboboy]

Cram preflop the first hand once it's a raise in front of you. Calling here is terrible.

Fold the second hand once it gets that much action back to you.

Last hand, standard? Why the hell did you wait one minute before announcing a 6k raise?

You're pretty clearly results oriented.
