    Default Thoughts on this one?

    Do you make this call? I called fairly loosely as it was the very first hand of the sit n go and I just flopped Quad 9s on the other one I was playing. lol

    PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t20 (9 handed) converter

    Button (t1500)
    SB (t1500)
    BB (t1500)
    UTG (t1500)
    BUKIFAN8 (t1500)
    MP1 (t1500)
    MP2 (t1500)
    MP3 (t1500)
    CO (t1500)

    Preflop: BUKIFAN8 is UTG+1 with , .
    1 fold, BUKIFAN8 raises to t100, MP1 raises to t300, 1 fold, MP3 raises to t1500, 4 folds, BUKIFAN8 calls t1400 (All-In), MP1 calls t1200 (All-In).

    Flop: (t4530) , , (3 players, 2 all-in)

    Turn: (t4530) (3 players, 2 all-in)

    River: (t4530) (3 players, 2 all-in)

    Final Pot: t4530

    Results in white below:
    BUKIFAN8 has Ks Kd (two pair, aces and kings).
    MP1 has Th Ts (full house, tens full of aces).
    MP3 has Jh Ad (three of a kind, aces).
    Outcome: MP1 wins t4530.

    I don't think there is anyway to get away from this one. You had both players PF and got unlucky with the cards. Personally, I think I would have pushed with this one from that position. While both players would probably have called anyway (seeings as they did anyway) I almost always push PF first hand in the tourney with AA or KK. Either way, this boils down to luck (imho)

    I did think about pushing, but wanted to risk building an early stack over possibly getting no callers. Probably would have been a no-win situation. Can't fault the 10-10 guy...AJ guy was probably just wanting to take an early gamble and would have gone in or called no matter what.

    It's ok, 3rd in chips in the other game at the 400BB stage, so I'll get it back

    If you ever fold Kings PF in a SnG, I will........

    Let's just say never fold King PF in a SnG, I did it once two and a half years ago and I still regret, fucking TJ Cloutier.

    Haha... Like I mentioned in my post above. Finished 4th in the other 6.50 Turbo so I will gladly take my KK loss on hand #1 :-)

    Those turbos have treated me nicely so far.

    I especially like the part where it's 6 handed and the blinds are 2000 and the top 3 chip leaders are at 13k,13k and 11k.

    Yep dam TJ!!!

    Same for me... in an MTT where an early big stack dosent really mather, I do pretty often... (well!!! maybe 6 times in my life)

    But in SNGs... even facing a verry tight player.

    you made the right move BUCKI....

    Your equity was like 2600 chips and you only put in 1500... that's some pretty solid EV, and if you lose on the first hand with good cards you didn't waste any time before the bad luck got ya
