| I was in a B&M rebuy tournament this weekend and feel I played well, including the hand I busted out on. Please let me know what you think. It was the freezout half of the tournament and I'm sitting with 2,400 in chips under the gun at a full table, blinds are 200-400. The chip leader is to my left with 8,500 4 seats down is a player with 800 in chips and then a rock of an old lady with 6,000. I get queens under and just call the blinds hoping another all in bet by the low guy (had done it twice in 5 rounds). I get my wish and he goes all in, but the rock calls him. I put her on AK and decide to call. If an A or K come on the flop, I'm running, if the flop is low or a Q come's I'm all in. Flop comes rainbow low cards 2, 6, 9. I go all in. Rock calls and flips up QK off and the low stack has 7's. So at this point I'm in the drivers seat until I hit the tree of a King on 4th and get sent home packing. I feel there is no way the lady should have called my all in bet with just QK off. She was an underdog if I had any ace. Besides that point, should I have gone over the top of the rock preflop with an all in of my own? Check after the flop? I think slow playing the Q's was my best bet at making money, especially under the gun like I was. I told myself before the tournament I was playing for first, not just in the money. I see how coming over the top pre-flop might have worked but I was also looking for survival and was prepared to through them away if need be. Any thoughts would be helpful. Brent | ||

| Think of it this way there is 3000 in the pot (with your call) 200(sb)+400(bb)+ 800 all in bet +800 rock call +800 your call that alone will put you 4600, almost doubling up already, I would have moved all in pre-flop... ESPECIALLY if you put her in AK. It is weird that she called your all in... but I think you would have elminated that outdraw by going all in pre-flop Sorry about the out come...

| I agree on going all in pre-flop, you're only possibly beaten pre-flop by 2 hands, and you know the small stack probably has something marginal. If you put her on AK, why risk letting her see one of them on the flop ya know? Come over the top, force her to fold, and take the marginal all-in heads up. That's just my opinion of course! Good luck in future endeavours! | ||
