WWYD? explain
i'm posting this hand for a few reasons..... will explain later i suppose
my raise was definitely too small.
your reasoning for folding is not good tho. (2 players all in)
Ok flop 2A6 no draws, you allmost did a min raise preflop 2 callers, hands that beat you are: 22, 66, A2, A6, not worried bout AA, with a proper raise preflop and only 1 caller i wud take this shot cos its a semi huge pot and i play2win not play2cash or survive, but with a small raise preflop and 2 callers and 2 allins noway i gonna call this with only toppair top kicker.
26/13 and 15/10 means? 13/26 and 10/15 hands played?
the numbers are vpip and pfr.
The reason i posted this hand is to show people that you need to think about a hand before making a play instead of just looking at the strength of your hand. I should have raised about 4x to 4.5x instead of slightly over 3x but, as played, we see a flop. Large stack bill shoves his stack instantly, i told myself that i would call that with my AK, then Laurens calls. .....
I time bank and think, my brother was in the other room playing the Mill and i told him that bill was shoving AJ/AQ and that laurens was sitting with 66. it just made sense,
bill is not shoving anything better than AK on the flop, and i just feel that in this spot of the tourney he shoves the AK pre if he has it, not that i'm worried about that anyway, so i put him on a big ace,
Laurens just called preflop, i thought to myslef, what would i just call with here, especially if i was the average donk in this tourney, small and medium pockets definitely came to mind, obviously he was just call with suited connectors and maybe a weaker ace also, then i wondered what he would also call with when i raised pre, again the small to medium pocket pairs came to mind, then what is he calling off with on that flop, two pair, AK/AQ and sets, i would have assumed we see a raise if he had AK/AQ, he would be really dumb to play A6 or worse, 22 and 66 made sense, 66 the most, what else does he call there with though?
After about 45 seconds i folded to see them show AQ and 66.
On tough decisions, run through the hand, put people on ranges and determine what you believe them to possibly have based on the actions, then make a smart decision.
GL at the tables everybody.
You think a lot in 45sec lmao.
yea, easier to run through it all in my head then typing it out but yea..... i used a good portion of my time bank.





I am not calling here, 2 players allin, deffo a fold for me.
Btw ur raise preflop is too small, you cant play a hand properly when you dont bet ok preflop, i dont see any antes but if there werent any antes your raise preflop is still too small.
