    Default Tournament Hand

    Blind 400/800
    6300 chips
    UTG covers me and is very agressive and a bit loose
    14 players remaining (already ITM)

    I'm on BB with 66

    UTG min raise
    folds to me
    I call (WHAT DO YOU DO)

    Flop AJJ

    I check (WHAT DO YOU DO)
    He push (WHAT DO YOU DO)
    I fold

    And he shows 22!!! DAM!

    I'm really not sure of my play here...
    I think it was a raise or fold preflop and really sucked...

    I was down to 4300 after this hand and the SB and I never recover from that.

    KJ

    PF: I reraise here to see what your up against. Blinds are kind of high for your stack, so I might just push it and hope your up against high cards if he calls. He's a bit loose so your really hoping he calls with lower PP. Your already in the money, and double up would do you great.

    Flop: If I only call the min raise here, I'm checking the flop. You have a fairly random hand read on him, anything from high cards to a PP. I would fold here as well, because too many hands are beating you. Can't blame you for your play on the flop, but I'd play PF different.

    reraise.
    Bet the flop.
    Check the turn if he calls you.

    min raises suck.

    As said above fold or push pf depending on my read on the guy.

    You're not playing for set value, you are going to have overcards on the flop, so decide whether or not you are behind and push or fold.

    You have an M of around 5, so you've got to be in double up or die mode. PF, you only have 1 move, and that's all in. You're out of position, and of course overcards to your 6's are coming on the flop. We're going to have a very difficult decision to make if he calls our raise PF or we just call PF, and I hate making difficult decisions (look what happened to you here). I want to put an end to the decision making process by pushing all in now. By doing so, we put the pressure back on our opponent to make a mistake.

    If he calls and has a better pair or draws out on us, C'est la vie. If he folds and we scoop the pot PF, well great play. If he calls with a smaller pair or 2 overcards (any of which we're favorites against with the exception of JTs) and we win, we'll then we're back in the game.

    If you want to do a stop and go with the 6's, then I'd do it. But if you check, he's going to make a move to take the pot away (I would with anything).

    Don't try and get too fancy when you're short like this. Stick to the basics and let these cards and the situation play itself. You really can't do much better in the long run.

    In fact my plan was to push if no Ace hit the flop...

    Normaly i would have push this without hesitation... but there... for a reason or another, I felt fancy I guess...

    My first tought was please somebody raise him... I wanted to fold that hand ... bad feeling... And obviously I should have push as I would have done in normal situation...
