I think you need to raise all in or fold PF. Your PF re-raise was hella' weak. You have to check/fold this flop, I think. Wait and look to double up on another hand and put yourself back in the running.

**Beavis68** · 05-20-2005

yeah that raise to 600 sucks. 1400 in the pot and only 250 for them to call? you are pricing them in.

**coash** · 05-20-2005

what do you do if you know they're going to call because they're loose...do you raise the same amount or still more pf

**Izenra** · 05-20-2005

Push all-in preflop, you are commiting a big part of your stack anyway.

**Diggler** · 05-20-2005

Call for the Flop, and Fold on the Turn. That's what I would've done.

I thought the preflop raise was where this started to go wrong, should have been enough to define their hands or put them to the test.

Can't see anything but a check-fold on the flop (position is not your friend here).

I either get in cheap with QQ and fold to a nasty flop or demonstrated strength, or play very aggressively preflop looking to isolate an individual for a big pot. Never disappointed with QQ to win preflop though.

I guess was a little on tilt at this point, I felt lost once we got to 6 handed. I couldn't read what people were playing, weak hands got big raises, a pair of deuces went all-in UTG at one point.

I convinced myself that AA/AK/KK would have re-raised me all-in PF and that any weak ace would have been chased off by the PF raise/re-raise. Once the flop came I talked myself into believing that with 2 Aces on the board, what were the odds of this guy holding another one shorthanded. . . .

Looking at my handhistory, it seems painfully obvious that I should have pushed PF. I mean, if I'm going to push post-flop with this board, why wouldn't I do it PF? (I do this all the time. . looking at my HH, it's obvious what I should do, but when I'm playing, it's like something shuts down sometimes. . . . ).

Anyway, here's the painful conclusion of my SnG evening:
Ultimate Bet No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t100 (6 handed) converter

BB (t2765)
UTG (t1950)
MP (t2450)
CO (t3595)

A3??

He raised on a steal and your small reraise gave him odds to call.

The flop made him do the happy.

He was vulnerable pre-flop and unfortunately you didn't capitalise and got unlucky.
