    Default 1st tourney in a while... play 10 hands!!!

    I did'nt play a lot of tourneys lately (wich is my favorite part of the game) cuz I had to come back from a terrible week in lost. Luck beeing a bigger
    factor in MTT, I had to keep my attention on RG.

    It was a 20+1 on PS...

    1st hand I raise 100 on the button with 88 and 6 limper... got 5 calls!!!!! Of course I fold on the flop...

    9 hands later.
    The game is incridibely loose and agressive

    Got KQ suit in late:

    1 smal raiser UTG
    3-4 callers

    I raise to 300 to be sure to thin the field and buy the flop if necessary....

    Flop
    KQ7 of spades...

    my oponent bets 100
    I raise to 400
    he goes all in....
    I say... fuck all... he cant have call 300 bet with Ax suit... He's on AA or a bluff... if he have trips... bravo!!! but QQ and KK are no options IMO...
    he would have reraise with those hands.

    I call...
    He shows JavaScript-9s... Dam!!!!

    could I have done different?

    KJ

    I'm assuming you started with 1500 chips.

    Try to keep the pot smaller preflop, I know you want to thin the field, but risking that many chips early when you're fairly certain you'll get callers isn't the right play. Also, in my opinion, KQ is not a reraising hand preflop in early tournament, even if suited.

    The raise on the flop is probably a good bet judging by your opponents table image. However, calling allin there is not. Against a bunch of LAG players, a wide variety of hands are available, therefore it is a definetely good possibilty he has a flush. PLay tighter against these players.

    KQ is garbage in NL.

    You dont raise multi limpers with 88, you call and play for set value.

    well... I have to admit that you are both right...

    Normaly, I dont raise that much with hands like KQ but this time the pot was already pretty big, I kwew I would have a caller and I was pretty sure I had the best hand... well maybe a Ax low x...

    BTW, I was madder at me than him... I liked my flop play, but of course i was concerned with my play preflop.

    You both uderlined it!
