There is no way I'm going all in PF with 9's after a UTG raise and a button reraise all in, whatever stats he has.
Yes he was very loose, but you shall know better. A shit hand like J-10 / Q-10 is a coin flip with yours.


What is this, freeroll or some shit ?

$20k guaranteed on stars. And I'd make this play 100% of the time on this table. When I play a tournament, I'm looking for a top 3 finish or better. I don't care about folding my way into making $35. This would have taken me from 250th to 50th, with 180 making the money and I'd rather go out here like this then go out 180th.

I know what you mean (top 3 finish), but personnaly, I don't like putting my money on coin flip situations, that is all.

3 way all in with pocket 9's, it's not something I like that much. For sure one of them has overcards. You hope the best that both have the same cards or under pairs.

Is it turbo or 10 min blinds ?


BTW, I did not say it's a good or bad play, I said that I (ME) don't like being in that kind of situation, so I would of folded.

I take it you quite literally mean every hand considering your play here?!

As far as I'm concerned, it's not a coinflip against the button.....



.....and I (thought I) had huge fold equity on UTG and UTG+1.
