A guy at the table said after this that it was so obvious he had rockets. WTF?! I'm not seeing how at a $1 MTT, since there is no predictable betting patterns.

I think you played it fine.

Online, there ARE betting patterns to observe, and you saw a guy limp in under the gun, which made you very unlikely to put your opponent on a hand like AA. I don't see how you could have gotten away from this... give yourself a break.

Word of advice though: calling your opponent's hand "rockets" defeats the purpose of putting the results in white.

hmmm.... While UTG played this HORRIBLY, I dont like the all-in push here. He limps, and then calls....and then bets out with a sucker bet.... While the Straight is a very remote possibility, I'm thinking you're already behind to a bigger two pair here. A9 or 98, both possible given how you described the play in general.

Another reason I'm not find of the all-in push is, usually most of the time (ok maybe not at these tables, but still), Then only hnads that are calling you are ones that beat you. You hve bottom two pair on an ace rag rag rag board... bottom two is not hand we want to go broke with here...

just my .02

2 types of people I have trouble with are people who always over bet their hands, and people who always underbet their hands. Personally, the way he's playing, I'm putting him on a hand like Axs...I think you played it fine...his bet on the turn feels like a "buy the pot" type move. He's also SSed so it makes sense he would try to buy the pot at this stage (or bet out a tpmk).

first of all FOLD PF???

2nd dont bet out in the sb with 27 people left behind you. put in a big c/r after someone bets. if you played it like that its possible to get away, but i probably still dont

**Irexes** · 08-03-2005

I like your play.

A family pot preflop gives you odds to play from the SB.

The turn all-in looks good to me as the board is starting to co-ordinate and you don't want to be pushed off on the river if something horrid like the Tc hits.

He's going to get burned more often than not with his play and unless you'd seen him do it before I don't think you could get away.

In the SB when he can limp? Nahh. He's getting 9 to 1 on his call.

(That reminds me, there must be a glitch in the converter. The pot is 1000, not 1100, on the flop.)
