$22 Bubble- Big hand vs CL

Rusty Nails · #1 08-17-2007, 02:04 PM

I know this was a fold preflop, but somehow I clicked 'call' and am now in this situation. Ignoring preflop, can/should I fold somewhere along the line here? Villian leans toward tight/passive. This hand has been eating at me for a few days now.

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t200 (4 handed) UPF Handconverter

Button (t365)
Hero (t4100)
BB (t5320)
UTG (t3715)

Preflop: Hero is SB with 6 , A .
2 folds, Hero completes, BB checks.

Flop: (t400) 6 , 9 , A (2 players)
Hero bets t400, BB raises to t1200, Hero calls t800.

Turn: (t2800) A (2 players)
Hero checks, BB bets t1000, Hero calls t1000.

River: (t4800) 4 (2 players)
Hero checks, BB bets t2200, Hero calls t1700 (All-In).

Final Pot: t8700

i would have shoved the flop after his raise. i'm guessing he had a9? unlucky for you.

At least shove turn to prevent AT or something to outdraw you. If he has A9, bad luck.

Actually raise pf. Normally I 3 bet all in on the flop, depending on villain a call is ok. I'd bet the turn about 1500, as played I'd check raise ai. I'd shove the river.

I'd never fold here, even if button only had 5 chips. But I'd definitely fold pf.

Yea, that was how I felt too. How can you fold the 2nd nuts? But thruout the hand I was kicking myself for getting in this situation when there was a player almost done.

I played the hand trying to get to the river as cheap as possible, not to try and maximize the value. I was confident BB had A9+, A6, 99 or 66 and was I just hoping to get thru the hand with a few chips in case he held A9 (which he did obv.).

I agree that a raise preflop is better than a limp, but I still feel that it is a really obvious fold preflop.
