This is bugging me, Help!!
I just got back from the ACPG tourney at Ballys. OK I do not know if I played this bad or not. I keep running it over and over.
Blinds 500-1k
Antes 200
9 people at table
I am on Small Blind. (500) Chip Stack very low 7,800
Under the gun calls, and (Hero) late position calls. I look down at 5-6 off. There is 5300 in pot. I call 500. Big blind checks his option.
Flop= 965 I check table checks behind.
Turn= A I push all in knowing someone had to get in with an (A) and they will call my all in.
BB folds, Middle folds. (Hero) Late position Calls with A-Q
River =9
He wins with top two.
OK I knew I had the best hand on the flop. Even though there is a str8ght draw on board I check hoping one of the 3 people bet so that I can re-raise all in. My thinking is if I go all in on flop I win a 4,800 profit but I am still left low stack with about 2 orbits to get lucky again. If I check raise I double up and I have survival money to be a little patient. Well as u see for getting greedy I risked it all and ended up with bad beat. I don’t blame hero for his call. He had top pair with top kicker. He had 8 outs to beat my two pair and he hit. Did I play this wrong?

You are in early postion and will get a caller, if not then you take the pot and increase your stack and are now in position with the button and chance to increase your stack further.

Comment by Eric Knick on November 18, 2008 at 7:46pm - i think checking postflop hurt, Im a firm believer that in a tourney esp short stacked you should push a big bet. with 2 pair, chances are you'll get a big stack to call because they like there odds against you, "little to lose" . then wen you push another big bet on the turn chances are he puts you on A with big kicker and folds. But mabey not Just a bad beat any way you look at it.
