    Default Was I right to call?

    Ok its early in a 60 cent sit and go 6-max. I am a slight chip leader, and get dealt AQ clubs.
    Blinds are 10-20, I raise to 60. 4 people call me.
    Flop is AxKc3x. I bet 150, and am called by 1 person.
    Turn 3c. I bet 250, and am called again.
    River is a blank. I bet 300, the guy goes all-in for a raise of only 180 more.
    I call, being pot committed. He flips over a 3-5 offsuit. Obviously a terrible play PF and flop on his part, but did I play it correctly?

    Is a hand history in the right forum too much to ask?

    I was actually playing at Pitbull Poker. But I don't know how to do hand histories, sorry. Its not that long of a read, and I would appreciate it.

    Tournament play + penny poker = all kinds of shit

    BUT has a general rule, when the blinds are low, make your preflop raises larger, ESPECIALLY microstakes. Here you raise to minimum 120 preflop. Then you probably don't get 4 callers. Let's say you get 1-2 callers. Then your flop bet should be pot minimum (early in tournament). Here you betted 150/240 pot = 2/3 pot. I would of betted 200-240. Later, when the blinds become larger (say 50-100), 3x BB should be enuff and 2/3 - 3/4 pot continuation bets should be fine.

    That's how I would of played it, and it's strickly my opinion.

    Please use the Hand Analysis forum for these questions. Hand Histories also help so we can see position as well as a tonne of other relavant information. If you want feedback in the furture, take a few minutes to figure out how to grab and convert it.

    Your question in the subject "was I right to call"... you only called once, at the river of his re-raise of 180 with over 800 in the pot, so yes you were right to call. As for how you played... depends... what did you put him on?

    I put him on Kings or a lower ace, until the river when he went all in. And then I knew he had the 3, but I was pot committed.

    And I will use the right forum and converter from now on, thanks.

    Default Hm

    I would have called out of doubt that he/she actually had a 3. Then again, i'm usually the guy with the 3. Alot of people would have played it that exact same way.

    What pisses me off is that I work so hard to get better, I am reading a book, I am playing a lot online, and coming here, etc. Yet I really don't know if I am getting better. Alot of times I feel like I played it right, but got unlucky. It could just be that I am playing it wrong though, and still haven't gotten better. Its annoying.

    easyest call ever.

    worst case scenario he has a set or AK

    rest of time he has busted draw or Ax (for a chop)
    I get more ass than a toilet seat. All shapes/colors/sizes.
