This was looser than some of the 5 dollar tables i played. Anyway, were down to three people including my self and this hand comes up.......please comment on my play......i am bar1374 sitting in seat 1 in the BB............should i have played a little more tight???

| Hi holleywood. You got your money in as a 3 to 1 favorite, what more can you ask for? You played the hand fine, you just got outdrawn. Would you feel bad about the hand if it was a $5 sng? Probably not. If you keep getting your money in as a 3 to 1 favorite, you'll come out ahead in the long run. Lee | ||

| yea i guess. its just a little bit of heartache.... i mean i played the best i could and to only get 3rd sucks....i just think i should of won thats all. Thank u for ur comments. but it does seem that when i play these sng heads up and i get a good hand AA KK QQ AK i always get busted. by some b-s for example im delt AA heads up in a 30 sng and go all in preflop he had 200 more chips than me. he calls and when a 223 comes on the flop to give him 2 full of 3's. lol oh well i guess i can always remember when i lose.but cant remember how i won. oh yea and go Mounties!!!!!!!!!!! | ||

| Would you expect many people to put their entire tournament on the line with A-7 when the stacks are equal and the payout is $1000 for first? Me neither. He took your bait, but caught a bigger fish, that's all. File away in bad beats. | ||

| You played it fine. The player that sucked out, Hudak_TheKid, has a history of calling big raises with weak aces. I played a hand against him in a $200+15 tourney that was very similiar. NLHE, Blinds are 10/20 and I am in the BB. Hudak_TheKid is in EP and limps behind two others, a couple more limpers enter and I raise it up, from the BB with KK to 300. (That makes it 280 to go for each of those limpers.) Everyone folds except Hudak_TheKid who raises his last 40 to boot. I call the 40. He turns over A8s. Long story short, he spikes an A on the river. It didn't knock my out, only took my stack from about 1100 to about 760. Now, you were down to 3 and we were down to about 1300 out of 1400. It obviously doesn't matter. He is a weak ace lover. Use it to crush him in the future. He obviously has more money than sense. Paul Stine College Station, TX | ||

| You totally did the right thing. I would have done the exact same thing as you. He just got lucky and caught a 7. If no 7 had popped up, you would have won. However, I do have to comment on the strength of his hand. I think with astronomical blinds and the game being only 3-handed, I probably would have done the same thing. It's my opinion that in a typical ring game, playing weak aces like this is a very poor play. But the combination of high blinds and short-handedness makes playing weak aces a good play. He was UTG and raised, then you reraised. It would have been another thing if he reraised you again, but he could only call. Considering the chip stacks were fairly even before the hand, folding to your reraise would have left him quite the short stack, and he would have had to blind away 600 chips every 3 hands at a minimum. I'm pretty much asking for people's comments on his opponents play, rather than his. I can admittedly see myself doing the same thing in his situation. | ||

| What the heck do you feel bad about, you made a perfect play. Had you merely called his bet preflop you would have acted first after the flop. How can you not think you have the best hand here? You are pot committed after the flop anyway, so why beat yourself up? How could you avoid going allin here? What do you think you should have done differently? Fold preflop? Of course not. Call? You would be allin after the flop nomatter what. Here, you made the right call because you want to see all 5 cards in this spot. Congrats on making the money in a high stakes game. I haven't played bigger than $50 yet. You are my idol. | ||
